Turn Down That Stupid Music!

Pop yelled that at me one night 42 years ago when I tempted fate by playing "Fat Boy Rag" by Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys after consuming one too many adult beverages. Here's stupid music from Hawai'i to Mongolia to NRBQ, with occasional music CD and DVD reviews and some other stuff. We're glad you made it! Click on each post title for the story...

About Me

My photo
Craig on Saddle Hill...
Meredith, NH, United States
I'm a life-long musicologist disguised as a real estate analyst living in the woods of central New Hampshire... After being weaned on Boston AM radio in the late 1950s, I "got religion" when our family moved to Hawai'i in 1963 and I first heard Ron Jacobs, Tom Moffatt and the rest of the "Poi Boys" on K-POI Radio, which was on 18 hours a day in our house until we moved to NY City in 1966...Of course, then it was 77 WABC, and within 3 years I was working in Top 40 radio myself, at the high school and college levels...Soon after that, I attended my first live concert, and it was all over...my ears have been bleeding ever since! I also do live music photography, some of which I will post here. Aloha!
