It was a Lovely Cruise..... Top Story - September 2023.
Like the rest of the world, I woke up Saturday morning to the devastating news that Jimmy Buffett had died. I was in shock - total disbelief. My best friend and Buffett loving sister-from-another-mother had texted to give me the sad news. Had he been ill? I wondered, mentally chastising myself for not keeping abreast of Buffett news.

My Favourite Front Man: Honouring Steve Harwell
Today we wake to the news of 90s alt behemoth, and lead singer of Smashmouth ,Steve Harwell's untimely death. As I have talked about on these pages, I am a music nerd. I'll listen to anything once, and many things twice. A lot of things, several. I've played piano since I was a child, so the ear was prepped, but still, Smashmouth remains the most pleasing to the ear for decades, and true masters of the story song - genre jesters doing their thing on every single one of their tracks, whilst staying true to their 1960s, easy listening vibe, even incorporating ska and punk elements, with that 90s edge. To me, true pioneers.

If You Don’t Read This …
If you don’t read this you will probably never know of these songs or these artists. People are often restricted by the media, what they grew up listening or other factors, I am the same, although Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard and that is relatively recent but there will be none of that on here, this is taking you off the beaten path and down the unsigned road and I could drag in something for the #LikeNoOther series that I started on Seven Days In.

A Glosa for You
I was doing a little cleaning up this weekend when I found that I had some old files that I had not read or even thought of for many years. One of those files was a glosa, a poetic form where each stanza ends with a line taken from another poem or song. I kept to some of the standard rule - eg. ten-line stanzas - and then strayed beautifully to tell a story.
