3 topics on a Sunday

1st - am I having a Stroke ?  Everything on the Right side of my Body is failing !

I cannot sleep on my right side because it kills my Shoulder to do that.....  Ok - its sore all the time, and something is happening in there cause My hand goes numb to the point of pain - like its on fire,  and I dare not hold anything in it for fear I drop it. (and I do)

My right knee is swelled up like a balloon, , sore to the touch and painful ,, and forget about kneeling on it,,,  BTW ,, did you know that when you kneel you always lead with  the same knee??? you - well at least I do,,, and Now I have to stop and kneel with the left one,,,

My back is sore on the right side o but thats always,

and I just had a cancerous growth removed from my right ear  - the stitches are out and that seems to be healing nicely. But that has been sore and swelled up - as you might expect after surgery,,, and that also prevents me from sleeping on my right side - ugh !

Topic #2 - I gotta say - the yankee replacements for all the damn guys on the DL are doing the job - so far...they are a game and a half back from the Tampa bay rays,  and 3 games ahead of the Blue jays ,  6 games up on the Bosox ....

Topic #3 - Why I  do and you need to support Independent Radio..in our case its WDST

Here is an example of why.

You know that WDST does Live Lunch Concerts - 30 minute shows on the Utopia Sound stage, - same building that the Radio is housed in and just across teh parking lot from the Bearsville Theater.
We have seen al least 12 - 15 shows there - with a free lunch - over the past year or two..

Last week we saw the Felice brothers - a local band that is on the verge of really getting to main stream music. they have  had a few songs that have gotten some notice (other than DST or NPR radio) - they had a song in the movie about the Billboards outside somewhere or other - the movie won some awards and their song - RADIO SOJNG - was used in the movie.

anyway they are days away from releasing a new CD - UNDRESS- so this was a good opportunity from them also to showcase those songs. they started with an excellent song - about a kid , and reminds up that the sins of the child are yours and mine ,,,  just a good song..  Well - I get home after the show ,, and I even thought the Album is streaming on NPR radio - I cant find that song,,,, I re review their latest albums to see if its hiding in there,,, but NO - I can't find the song,,  I Email - one WDST 's on air folks who is also their music director,  - MaryKate - goes by MK - We met her on the DST cruise the year before, so I thought maybe - she would answer,,,,,,   She does - like 15 minutes later,, she says she thinks the song is called Ghost town NY, and only mention she can find is in a blog that IAN Felice was playing it in 2017.... I go back and look at play lists from that year - and I see a song called THE KID (newsong) listed in the Set list....  I email her back thanking her for the response and saying that I see the  song in the playlists in 2017,,,  and I wonder  - why would they open with as song that was NOT on the new CD .. MK again nearly immediately responds, and she says - yea - its driving her nuts - she says she had James Felice's cell number - so she is gonna call him and ask.....  James tells her - that indeed the song is called  "The KID" and NPR screwed up and omitted the song when the uploaded the CD to their web site  and is really impressed that someone noticed it  !!!     How about that ! 

A listener emails a radio station DJ- that DJ contacts a member of the band, and he responds with the answer,,,, THAT is independent Radio !  You are part of the station !!


I'll give you 2 ,,,,

and an older one,,, Cherry Licorice
