Qu’est-ce que c’est? #NoKings

Saw an impressive crowd between thunderstorms at the Missouri state capitol in ruby-red Jefferson City. I saw a lot of hope, determination, and joy. But interestingly, I did not see any hate. #NoKings

And still no Nobel Peace Prize?! Inconceivable!!

Now denouncing rape, racism, and Nazis makes you a RINO I guess.

I show this video every semester for #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. Last night was also the school's Take Back the Night rally, so students could leave early and get extra credit. But I know most would’ve gone anyway. Proud of these young people—women and men—who fully embrace this message.

Released 52 years ago today. One of the best covers ever. #Musicsky #VinylCommunity

October 10 is World Mental Health Day. It’s also the birthday of Thelonious Monk, who experienced undiagnosed mental illness while giving the world so much power, joy, and beauty. The world’s a better place when we support each other. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Loved @dbtph.bsky.social since I first heard the single back in ’97 or ‘98. Their early stuff was fun, Southern Rock Opera was brilliant and hinted at what they were capable of, but it was Decoration Day that really grabbed me. Can’t wait. #Musicsky #VinylCommunity #HeAthens

Another lovely essay from I Have That On Vinyl. #Musicsky #VinylCommunity #Records

Happy 9/8 to all who can keep up. #Jazzsky #Musicsky

Just back from Tulsa for @mjlenderman.bsky.social at Cain’s Ballroom, the @bobdylancenter.bsky.social and @woodyguthriecenter.bsky.social, sampled some great breweries, browsed some fun record stores, and met some very nice people. I’d list more but Bluesky’s character limits... Put it on your list.

What I love most about IHaveThatOnVinyl.com is hearing real music lovers talk about records/musicians/genres I’d never know about otherwise and not just the usual Three Things You Don’t Know About Led Zeppelin rehash or just blathering from boomers (like me). Love music? You should check it out.

He’s been gone five years today. Part Atticus Finch and part Andy Taylor, he was an old-school Southern FDR liberal who taught me to be kind, not to worry, and how to hold a record. I was a lucky kid.

Birthday of Bill Evans. #Jazzsky #Musicsky

A lovely voice silenced. So long, Sheila Jordan. #Musicsky #Jazzsky

Some of us only felt alive and authentic when we stepped into a record store, only experienced connection and meaning while thumbing the bins, or otherwise only became comfortable in our own skins while record shopping, and this essay captures all that perfectly. #VinylCommunity #Records #MusicSky
