G-Man

Well it looks like we skipped spring and went straight into summer. It was +80 F here in New Hampshire last week. Time to pull out the lawn mower! Everything is turning green. It’s a beautiful sight. 

The title to this episode is in memory of our dear friend of 15 years, G. Gordon AKA G-Man, The Fatman, speedbump, etc… He was our 15 year old Tabby who was a friend to all. He did not have a mean bone in his body. We miss you tons little buddy.

Cough! Ack! We’re sick! Both Ann Marie and I have this terrible cold. I’m just about over it, but she is up in bed this weekend trying to recover. That means that this week, I’m going solo with a Mostly Music show. I’m also testing the new, very alpha, StudioRack software from CastBlaster Mike. This is his latest audio project. If you want more information go to studiorack.com. This is where you can find the forum for this project. 

Anyway, the sun came out today, the air is starting to get warm and the snow is slowly melting away. Looks like Spring is finally here. Enjoy…

We have a new cat in the house. It’s a Leopard! Mac OS X Leopard to be exact. It’s the latest version of the Mac OS X (pronounced Oh Ess Ten) operating system. So far… it gets 5 thumbs up! (5 thumbs up?!?) The installation was simple, the performance is phenomenal and the new features make it worth the $129 USD. OK, enough of that. There are lots of topics this week. We also have some rants and, oh yes,  great music from IODA Promo Net. Enjoy…

On the Road I »

Show68_cover

Saturday was a perfect New England fall day. No time to sit in a house and record a podcast inside. No way! So Ann Marie and I grabbed the iRiver 799 and jumped into the Prius for a trip to the Vermont Country Store. Oh yea, and on the way we might see some leaves that are changing. The sound… isn’t the best, but we are on the road! You can’t expect studio quality sound. Unless, of course, I get a better portable recorder. Christmas is coming… Hint, hint! Anyway, I’m not listing any topics this week because, frankly, I want to get this show out and there is lots of extra editing to produce this one. So… Here it is… Sans topics… Show number 68.

The air is crisp, the leaves are starting to change, the bugs are gone. That
can only mean one thing. IT’S FALL!!! This is the best time to visit New
Hampshire. Just don’t drive 23 MPH on our roads looking at leaves. I’ve lived
here for ten years now. Trust me, the leaves look the same at 60 MPH as they do
at 23 MPH. OK, we’ll let you go 40 MPH. We have some great music this week.
These songs all come from IODA’s promonet. If you like any of the songs, please
support the artists buy buying their music. There are links below.

  • My traffic Theory: Everyone works between Labor Day and Thanksgiving
  • First frost

  • Where’s Jash?
  • Music picked from IODA
  • OK, I don’t know how to use a chain saw
  • Preparing for winter
  • Prepare for the leaf peepers!

After a long break we are back! Most of that time was spent in Hawaii. I had a business trip with some vacation time tagged on the end of it. Ann Marie joined me about half way through the trip. Hawaii is definitely one of my favorite places on earth! THAT is an understatement. If you ever get a chance to go to Hawaii, GO! You will not regret it. So I guess you know what this show is about. We also have some greatpodsafe music for you. Where’s Jash ? He’s still around. His wife is recovering from some (minor?) surgery so he’s home playing nurse. (Probably driving her nuts by now!)
