And for nine years, it … Continue reading With All Due Apologies To Jeff Lahey…

It is also a great way to discover new artist, as I almost never skip an episode. This week NPR had some new girl on there some of ya’ll may nor may not have heard of: Taylor Swift, or T Swift. I think she goes back and forth hoping one catches on. Seems like a sound strategy. I’m … Continue reading T Swift And Tiny Desk: Set Your Notions Aside
