A Trip to The Princeton Record Exchange Creates Eclectic Playlist

So a couple of Fridays ago, my wife went to the New Jersey State Archives to do some genealogical research. Since I did not have any research to do, I decided to head to the Princeton Record Exchange to spend my two-year old gift certificate.

While I didn’t find many new albums I did find nine albums that are not in my music library, from artists I enjoy. Here are the albums group by genre.

New Age

Next - Jeff OsterNext – Jeff Oster 

The more I listen to the trumpet and other instruments if Jeff Oster the more I like him. There are a lot of other fine musicians like will Ackerman and That help out on this album. read more

A  Six Pack Playlist of Americana/Folk and Blues and More

Palestine Blues - Lew JerttonLew Jetton & 61 South – Palestine Blues 

I started listening to this album, when we spent a week at the Jersey Shore back in August. It was the soundtrack for a couple of the runs during the week. I really like the album. It has lots of interesting and well-written songs presents well, with the vocals matching the music. read more

An Eclectic Playlist for A Short Afternoon Trip

Eclectic Playlist is the Highlight of An Afternoon Car Trip

This afternoon I made a trip to Walmart and the Cinnaminson Library. I needed to charge my iPhone 7 so I couldn’t pug it into the radio and charge it at the same time, so I brought along my iPod. I always say that I really do need to listen to the older music that I love more. But That would require that I listen to less new stuff which may not be a good thing as I try to present new music here. Anyway today the trip resulted in a short six song 24 minute playlist. The playlist reveals the eclectic nature of my music library. read more

A Morning Song Playlist for a Lazy Saturday Morning!!

Misty-03-10-11-_0018I was thinking last night about things that I used to really like about listening to the radio, one of them was when the DJ would could a playlist with a central theme. Sometimes it would be a little hard to recognize but it was still fun.

This morning I woke up thinking, let’s make a morning song playlist….. The first song that popped into my head was “Get out of Bed” by Livingston Taylor. I bet that everyone thought about that one didn’t they!! Next came “I Woke Up this Morning” from Ten Years After. Followed by Joni Mitchell‘s “Morning Morgantown”  Then I thought, what about that song “one misty moisty morning” who sang that?? Spotify saved me and I found the Steeleye Span version that I was looking for! While I was searching for Steeleye Span, I came across Cat Steven’s “Morning Has Broken” why did I not think of the song we used as the recessional at our wedding? read more

Can Your Playlist Make You Happier? Let’s Test It!!

Your Playlist Can Change Your LifeSo I finally got around to making an appointment for my yearly physical and blood work, I’m only about 5 months behind. So far everything is good EKG was fine as was my blood pressure 110/64 with a resting pulse of 56! The blood work results should come back early next week so we’ll see then about cholesterol, etc.

Anyway, yesterday I went to the library and picked up two books (actually  picked up four but two fit this blog)  first Your Playlist Can Change Your Life and second 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart by Neal D. Bernard MD.  I have read the first book, but want to look at again and try to put some of the exercises and thoughts into practice. I thought that the second book may have some thoughts and recipes that may go with the 21 Day Vegan Kickstart program which will start the first of October. I originally went to the library looking for Superfoods for the Brain but I didn’t see it. read more

Bela FleckSo the iPod was set on shuffle this morning as I set out to work on a stairway hall that I am getting se to paint and this is the resultant playlist – I think this playlist should be in the dictionary beside the word eclectic. What do you think?

2. Blue Drops of Rain – Corey Stevens

3. Six Feet Under the Ground – Michael Cleveland

So in in the first three songs there’s one jazz banjo Virtuoso, one great blues guitarist, and a bluegrass fiddle virtuoso in Michael Cleveland a good start in mixing it up! read more
