Welcome Back to the Blog!

I first want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and for the many suggestions. Knowing that there may actually be someone listening to my show has made a world of difference to my preparations and choices.

I am not shy in stating that “the bar has been risen” a little higher, and I hope you find that I’ve met the challenge.
David Boyle has another great “Obscure & Oblique” Episode (#14) and he looks into “Beatle-MashUps.” Once again it’s insightful and entertaining. I can’t tell you how lucky I am to have his contribution to the show.

As I mentioned earlier, I find putting my weekly show together a little more challenging, now that I am including the “podcast-blog” element. I find myself looking for more music, further afield and tracking down a little more background material than before.

It means a little more work, but I hope you feel that it is worth the effort (all on my part, of course).
