Yesterday’s was one of those days that was about as close to perfect as you can get. First we were going to be babysitting our grandson Logan all day while his parents and older sister went to Six Flags. The good thing was we didn’t need to be there until 9:30. That meant that I could run around 8:00 and and be done and showered by 9:30. So I got up at 7:00 did some warm up exercising and was out the door by 8:00.

I ran a 3.1 (5K) mile course that is pretty flat. It’s the fourth time I’ve run since I was sick with an upper respiratory infection and a touch of pneumonia. Overall, it was the best of the four runs. Here are the results….

The Soundtrack – Nobody Told Me – John Mayall

he first John Mayall album I bought was 1969’s The Turning Point. I really loved that album an over the next 50 years I have continued to follow his legendary career and he has consistently provided me with great albums!   Nobody Told Me is another.

Throughout his career Mayall has always had a terrific lead guitarist in his band, starting with Eric Clapton! Other guitarists who have worked with Mayall include: Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Harvey Mandel, Walter Trout,Coco Montoya and Rocky Athos.

Guest guitarists on Nobody Told Me  include Todd Rundgren, Joe Bonamassa, Larry McCray, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Steven Van Zandt and Carolyn Wonderland.

Bottom line

The bottom line is that at 85 years young John Mayall sounds as good as he ever has. While I like all the tracks on the album I would have to say that these four are my favorite tracks: “ What have I done Wrong” and “Delta Hurricane” with Joe Bonamassa. “Evil and Her to Stay” with Alex Lifeson and “Distant Lonesome Train” with Carolyn Wonderland.

So if you’re a fan of John Mayall you have probably already checked this album out. So I’d be interested in your opinion. And if you’ve never heard of Mayall check it out and I bet you’ll be checking out several more albums included in his extensive discography!

Here’s the Official Video for the tile track of Nobody Told Me featuring the band’s new lead guitarist Carolyn Wooderla d!

Ok so there were three things that made Tuesday a great day. A good run, babaysitting my 20 month old grandson Logan and finally I finished the 34th book I’ve read this year, Rogue Island by Bruce DeSilva. When it was released in 2010 it won the Edgar for Best First Novel. I will be writing about it shortly!

John Wort Hannam – Acres of Elbow Room – A Winner!

  By ,

So this morning I did some grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s. I started the trip listening to the Perpetual Optimism latest release from jazz drummer Herlin Riley.

But after getting my coffee I decided to listen to some Americana on my way instead of jazz. The reason is that I can listen to lyrics of folk songs better when I’m in the car! I

decided that on the way there I would listen to Acres of Elbow Room the new album from John Wort Hannam and then on the way back I’d listen to Voices by Tom Rush. Tom Rush’s Voices was released in April of 2018.

I first discovered the music of John Wort Hannam when I started this blog back in 2010.. First,  I started by listening to his second album Dynamite and ‘Dozers which was released in 2004. The songs on that album were impressive, so I quickly sought out Pocket Full of Holes. Then Came 2009’s Queen’s Hotel. You can read my posts about those albums here and here.

About John Wort Hannam

In 2001 John Wort Hannam quit his teaching job and spent 10 months depleting his savings while sat at his kitchen table, wearing a lucky hat, writing his first ten songs. Those songs would become his first recording Pocket Full Of Holes, released in 200

Seventeen years later, the Alberta musician is releasing his seventh full-length recording Acres Of Elbow Room and has a few feathers in that lucky hat for his first six offerings. Feathers that include a JUNO nomination, a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Album of the Year, a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, a Kerrville Texas New Folk win, and numerous Western Canadian Music Award and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations

Over the last few years,John has had both good and bad come into his life. The good included: becoming a Dad, turning 50 and moving to the “big City” of Lethbridge. While the bad included a long, deep bout of depression, and episodes of losing his singing voice. But John has weathered all his storms and new days are shining brighter. I think that Acres of Elbow Room is his best album since those three albums I wrote about earlier

About Acres of Elbow Room

I love the opening track “Acres of Elbow Room” in it John laments that while he loves the big city of Lethbridge there are times when he needs to get back out to open spaces.Can’t most of us relate to that!

He also writes about ” The Quiet Life” and how he’ll be fine living in that “Quiet Life”  As a quiet life person, I can relate to this song! He also wrote a song for his young son….and several other great songs!

The bottom line is that Acres of Elbow Room is a really, really, good album. So Check It Out!And you may think you need acres of elbow room, if after listening to the album, you end up in a small Trader Joe’s store!

Kundalini Kriya “Master Your Domain” Rekindles Love of Kundalini

  By ,
My Go To Kundalini Yoga Book

 To Master Your Domain Kundalini Kriya leds to Starting Kundalini Again

This morning I just didn’t feel like doing a 20-30 minute dance-cardio workout. Instead I decided to do an old Kundalini Kriya. The Kriya that I chose was “To Master Your Domain”.

I haven’t done any Kundalini yoga for a long while. Many years ago Kundalini was the main form of yoga that I did. Kundalini is different from many other forms of yoga,at least in my opinion, in that the Kriya are more physically challenging.Additionally there is more recitation of  mantras and meditation. It was the recitation of the mantras that we’re in Punjabi that led me to the Sikh religion. Sikh’s believe that there is one God and that all religions are just pathways to that one God.

About Sihkism

From Wikipedia….

The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism, articulated in the sacred scripture Guru Granth Sahib, include faith and meditation on the name of the one creator, divine unity and equality of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all, and honest conduct.  Read More

Sikhism and Me

Many of the tenets of Sikhism are  the way I live my life. And really that is what Kundalini Yoga and Sikhism are a way of life. When I was practicing Kundalini I became a vegetarian. I also did a lot more meditating and exercises that focused on my breathing. Overall it was a good experience and one that I should probably revisit. 

While I am not really a full vegetarian I haven’t been eating a lot of meat. I do eat pork chops and occasionally  dishes that include chicken. Lately I have been eating a lot of Indian vegetarian dishes for lunch and dinners more often than not are some type of fish, mashed cauliflower or sweet potatoes and a vegetable.

A Possible Schedule to Incorporate Kundalini into Workout Schedule 

I guess the question is where or when can I get Kundalini kriyas into my exercise routines. Maybe a schedule that looks something like this…..

  • Monday (Target) – Hatha Yoga in AM  Kundalini in afternoon Night Hatha Yoga
  • Tuesday: Morning: Dance-Cardio (20 Min) – Run – Night:Yoga
  • Wednesday: Dance Cardio (30-40 min) Early PM: Kundalini   Late PM: HathaYoga
  • Thursday: Morning: Dance-Cardio (20 Min) – Run – Night:Yoga
  • Friday : (Target) – Hatha Yoga in AM  Kundalini in afternoon Night Hatha Yoga
  • Saturday: Dance Cardio (30-40 min) Early PM: Kundalini   Late PM: HathaYoga
  • Sunday: Dance-Cardio (20 Min) – Run – Night:Yoga

Hmmm, that may work at least its a starting point . I’ll let you know how I make out!If you want to try  the Master Your Domain Kriya here is a video!

Update (July 2026)

Looking back at this schedule, I’ve realized it was a bit too ambitious! I’m still working on integrating Kundalini back into my routine, but I’m aiming for a much more sustainable once or twice a week. Even my Fitbit AI coach only has me down for five yoga sessions total, so I need to listen to the data! Lol.

Now that I’m only working two days a week, I have a lot more flexibility. Overall, I’ll be mixing in my yoga and cardio with an elliptical, an elliptical bike, and a rower. This gives me a great balance of variety and low-impact work. My plan is to use that extra time to find the perfect sweet spot for these Kriyas without burning myself out. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes

60s Rock for Cardio Workout, New Age for Yoga!

Absolutely Live - The Doors -part of my cardio workout

The Soundtrack for Cardio Workout – The Doors –New Age Nancy Shoop-Wu for Yoga

So last night the soundtrack for my evening workout came from two sources. The first part of my workout was a 15 minute plus dance-cardio workout. The soundtrack was a portion of a playlist of music from The Doors, Jefferson Airplane and The Who.

The workout only lasted through the first three songs. All three were from The Doors. The first two “Who Do You Love?” and “Break on Through” were from their  album Absolutely Live. Several years ago I wrote a post ranking my favorite live albums. You can read that post here


The second half of my workout was a yoga routine It was actually just a shortened version of the routine that I usually do. The soundtrack of that portion of my workout was Rainbow Road from Nancy Shoop-Wu. Back when I first listened to and enjoyed Rainbow Road I wrote a post about Nancy Shoop-Wu and the album.

Rainbow Road – Nancy Shoop – Wu 

Rainbow Road the second release from violinist Nancy Shoop-Wu has been one of the various albums that I have used as the soundtrack for my morning workouts and meditations over the last few months. And it has been one of my favorites!

About Nancy Shoop-Wu

Nancy Shoop-Wu’s music is a wonderful blend ofi New Age , Hawaiian and classical music. Shoop-Wu started her musical journey at the age of nine in her home state of Connecticut. She came from a musical family. Her father played the trumpet and her mother the piano. She became determined to dedicate her life to music when her father passed away when she was nine years old.

The Video

HEre is the video for “Rainbow Road” Enjoy as for me I’m going to start thinking about what music I will be using as the soundtrack of any yoga or workout tonight!

New Audio Connections Lead to New Music Goals!

  By
Connecting All My Audio Equipment Leads to New Music Goals

I mentioned in the last post that I’ve been listening to a lot of music from my music library instead of new music. One of the reasons I’m doing that is I now have my electronic equipment situated so I can play music from just about every media that I have. I now have connected to my receiver the following: an Ion turntable for my vinyl, a five disc CD player, my iPod and a small cassette tape player.

The receiver has three playback ports. The ports are a turntable port, a tape player port and CD/auxiliary port. Initially, I connected the turntable to the turntable port and the sound was too loud and horrible. When I connected it to the CD port it was fine.

Now I had four playback devices and only two ports. The solution was two by a four pack of these RCA plugs.

Now I know It seems like a lot of trouble to go through when I can just listen to almost everything on Spotify. But in my opinion there is just something special about dropping a needle onto a vinyl record. I guess that may be because it sounds better, but I think it’s just because it brings back fond memories.

While CDs don’t bring back as many memories as vinyl records there is still something about holding the jewel case maybe reading the liner notes doing that beats just plain digital recordings.

Now cassettes, I can probably take or leave but there are some albums that I have in cassette that I’m not going to get on CD and may not even be on Spotify. I’m thinking particularly of two early Chris Wall albums.

What These Connections Mean For 2019…..

Ok so now I have the ability to listen to my music library using the media that I first obtained the album on! So what does that mean for me and this blog going forward? One thing that I want to do this year is to listen more often to music  from my music library.

Over the last few years I’ve spent so much time discovering new music that I have lost touch with the music I have loved in the past. Now I’m not saying that I want to live in the past, just that I want to visit more often!

So maybe what I’ll do is bring back Flashback Friday. When I first started to blog  on Fridays I would put on a few old albums listen to them and then write about the artist and album. Yeah, I think that’s something I want to do again!!

Music Goals  for 2019

So here are some music goals for 2019…..

1. Increase the amount I listen to music from my music library. Use music from my music library for the soundtrack of my workouts and yoga. Re-institute Flashback Fridays to listen and write about old favorites!

2. Continue to search out and listen to new music. I will continue to scour the bottom half of various music charts to find new artists!!

3. Make new music the soundtrack for my runs. Typically, the soundtracks of my runs are from the progressive rock, blues or bluegrass genres.

4.Make sure a jazz or new age album is playing in the background while I’m reading. A New Age album will always be the soundtrack of my yoga workouts.

So now I need to go and listen to some music. Hmmm it’s Friday and I see many albums from my vinyl collection. It’s time for Flashback Friday …..what shall I listen to???????

P.S. When I went to take the picture of my audio equipment I realized I forgot to mention that I also have my Sirius/XMRadio connected to the system too! Only I have to unplug something so I will probably just let it play by itself!!

Blues Wednesday – Sean Chambers

  By , ,

So for the last couple of weeks I’ve had Sean Chambers second album Humble Spirits on the mp3 player and have enjoyed it. Sean is a Florida bluesman in the mold of Stevie Ray Vaughan, i.e. blues with a rock edge. Humble Spirits, was produced by Bud Snyder (The Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule), and featured featured such special guests as Bernard Allison, Frankie and Dan Toler (The Allman Brothers), Bobby T. Torello (Johnny Winter) and Greg Allman band alumnus Bruce Waibel.

Sean has been ranked in the Top 50 blues rock guitarists by Britain’s “Guitarist Magazine” and he can really play! I feel that his guitar playing carries his ok vocals on the album!

Anyway there are a lot of decent songs on the album and it’s certainly worth several listens and will probably stay on the player for a while!

Sean Chambers Release Ten Til Midnight

Today I listened to his current release Ten Til Midnight.  I was only able to listen to a few of the tracks but what I heard sounded pretty good. If it cools off tomorrow the album will probably be playing when I run!

Here’s what it says on Sean’s website about the album:

On Ten ‘Til Midnight co-producer Tim Blair wanted to go for a live sound similar to their incendiary concert shows; so most of the tracks were recorded with few overdubs. They feature Chambers on guitar and vocals, and his regular touring band: Tim Blair on bass and Paul Broderick on drums. Special guests includes Ben Crider on Hammond B-3 organ, Jack Henriquez on piano, Gary Keith on harmonica, and Robin Bouie and Clarence L. Stevenson on backing vocals.

Here’s what Blogcritics says about Ten ‘Til Midnight:

Ten Til Midnight is a high-energy, pedal-to-the-metal, blues rock album that will leave you plastered against your seatback. Remember that speaker ad a few years back showing the guy sitting in a chair in front of his speakers, his hair blowing back? Yeah! That’s it, that’s the one. And that’s this CD, too. Ten cuts, 41 minutes of rockin’ blues.

So if you like Stevie Ray, Corey Stevens and other blues rock guitarists check out Sean!

Here’s “In the Winter Time” from Ten ‘Til Midnight

Ed Romanoff’s Self-titled Debut Album is a Winner

  By ,
Ed Romanoff - Ed Romaoff Album

Ed Romanoff – Ed Romanoff

.So when I listened to “St. Vincent De Paul.” the first track on Ed Romanoff‘s self-titled debut album for the second time on my four mile run tonight, it reminded me of Mary Gauthier‘s album The Foundling. Wait you listened to the song twice! I thought this album must be very short! But,  no the run was really long! The  ten track album clocks in at about 40 minutes, at which point, I was still a little way from my finish and was struggling along at about 11 minute per mile pace

Now back to the music! There’s a reason that the song reminded me about Gauthier’s album. Well, that’s because it appeared on Mary Gauthier’s album The Foundling. Ed wrote the song after he accompanied Mary to the orphanage where Mary had been left on the day she was born!  After the trip, they became good friends, subsequently, Ed at Mary’s request joined her on the road as a sideman, writing partner, and later in taking a DNA test. Mary wanted to learn more about her biological past, but Ed got the shock! In taking the test, Ed found the father he grew up with was not his biological father. “Sometimes you write a song and sometimes it writes you back,” he says.

About Ed Romanoff

Now this a great collection of well-crafted songs about life, the good and the bad. It’s not really a pick me up album. However, I think, the album was a good pick for today’s run. What did I say the other night? ” misery loves company” Well, I needed the company tonight because my left leg was giving me misery!  But because I was going so slow, I was able to focus on the music rather than the pain in my leg and there was alot to pay attention to:

There’s a song about unrequited love  “Breakfast for one on the 5th of July” , one about the disappearance of a  man on a winter’s day “Lady Luck”, and the random shooting of a man and woman necking in a car, “Yellow Rose”. He made it, she didn’t. See not much to put you in a good mood there, is there.

“I Must Have Done Something Right” is the one somewhat humorous song on the album. In the song a guy recalls all the terrible things he’s done to his best friend. However, somehow the friend remains loyal through it all. All included: that night I slept with your sister/You know I meant to keep that a secret”

The album has been on all the charts. It’s currently No 12 on the Euro-Americana Chart and No 22 on the FAR Chart. In addition, Ed was the 1st place winner in the lyrics category of the 2011 USA Songwriting Competition.  “Breakfast for One on the 5th of July” was the winning song.

Crit Harmon produced the album. Harmon has worked with: Martin Sexton, Lori McKenna, and Mary Gauthier. Josh Ritter, Tift Merritt, Meg Hutchinson, and Mary Gauthier provide harmony vocals on the album!

So once again the run was tough, really the pits, but the music was great! Here’s a performance of the award winning “Breakfast for One on the 5th of July”

Trout Steak Revival -Spirit to the Sea – A Great Toe-Tapping Album

  By ,
TRuck Steak Revival - Spirit to the Sea Album Cover

Trout Steak Revival – Spirit to the Sea

Yesterday I posted that two albums have stood out in my music rotation over the last few weeks. The first one was Hard Times the latest release from jazz saxophonist Vincent Herring. The second one is Spirit to the Sea from the Colorado Indie-Americana string band Trout Steak Revival.

I first encountered the music of Trout Steak Revival back in 2012 , when I listened to their album Flight. After listening to that album I knew that this was a band that was going places. And they did!

About Trout Steak Revival

In 2014 they won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition. They also won an Emmy Award for a soundtrack they contributed to a Rocky Mountain PBS web documentary. they have also collaborated with school children in mentoring programs in Denver and Steamboat Springs. Their music is featured on Bank of Colorado’s radio and

Trout Steak Revival’s music blends the sounds  of folk, indie, bluegrass, and roots into their own style of Americana. The band members include: Casey Houlihan – Bass, Steve Foltz – Mandolin/Guitar, Will Koster – Dobro/Guitar, Bevin Foley- Fiddle and Travis McNamara – Banjo.

I love a band where the members are all masters of their respective instruments. That is certainly the case with the members of Trout Steak Revival! And while each picker is great there are two that make this album special for me and they are: Will Koster whose dobro sounds great throughout the album, and Bevin Foley’s fiddle which really makes some of the tracks soar!

Now many times when I listen to bluegrass albums I kinds cringe when I hear the vocals. There are some voices out there that are just too twangy for me. That is NOT the case with Trout Steak Revival, I love the vocals on Spirit to the Sea. On Spirit to the Sea, like their previous releases all five band members contribute unique lyrics, lead vocals and harmonies. And to my ears they all sound fantastic.

Bottom Line:

Spirit to the Sea is a 4.25 star out of 5 album for me. Five stars for the picking, four stars for the lyrics and four stars for the vocals and four stars for the overall upbeat feel of the album. Average them together and you get 4.25 stars. Ok so every time I start to pick out tracks that I like on an album, I usually find myself saying I like this one and this one and pretty soon it’s the whole album. So I ‘ll just say check it out!

Final Thoughts

I started this two-part post by writing about my eclectic taste in music. I said that I didn’t think there were many folks out there who like both bluegrass and jazz. So what connects the two genres of music for me. It’s like I wrote earlier listening to musicians who are masters of their respective instruments. In the case of Vincent Herring’s Hard Times it’s listening to the musical artistry of Vincent Herring, Cyrus Chestnut and Russell Malone. Masters of the saxophone, piano and guitar respectively.

On Spirit to the Sea it’s listening to great mandolin and guitar from Steve Foltz , dobro from Will Koster, Bevin Foley’s fiddle and Travis McNamara’s banjo.

The big difference between the two genres for me is when I listen to them. I mainly listen to jazz while I’m reading and bluegrass when I’m in the car or when I’m up moving around and doing something.  How is it with you???

“Up in the Old Hotel” with Tom Russell. Cue up Wikipedia!

  By ,
Up in The Folk Hotel Tom Russell

Tom Russell’s release Folk Hotel has been in my music rotation for a week or so now,
and I like the album more and more each time I listen to it.
There are few songwriters whose songs send me to Wikipedia to look up references the way Tom’s does.
In fact, I was sent scurrying on the first track: “Up in the Old Hotel.”

The first reference I chased was Joseph Mitchell,
whose ghost wanders the halls of Tom’s Folk Hotel. Here’s what I found:

Joseph Mitchell and Up in the Old Hotel

(July 27, 1908 – May 24, 1996) was an American writer best known for his work in
The New Yorker. He wrote careful portraits of eccentrics and people on the fringes of society,
especially in and around New York City.
His book Up in the Old Hotel collects the best of his writing for The New Yorker.
Mitchell’s last book was Joe Gould’s Secret (1964).
From 1964 until his death in 1996, Mitchell went to work at his office daily,
but never published anything significant again.

Dylan Thomas and the Hotel Chelsea

The second reference in the song points to the death of poet Dylan Thomas and his infamous final days:

On 3 November 1953, Thomas spent the day drinking in New York.
He returned to the Hotel Chelsea declaring,
“I’ve had 18 straight whiskies. I think that’s the record!”
Later that week, he fell gravely ill and was admitted to St. Vincent’s Hospital,
where he died on 9 November 1953 of acute alcohol-related complications.

One Song, Countless Stories

I love that about Tom Russell’s songs. One verse can send me looking up a writer I’d never heard of, while the next leads me to a poet, a painter, or some forgotten corner of American history. His songs aren’t just stories—they’re invitations to keep exploring.

I’ll have more to say about Folk Hotel in another post, but for now I’ll leave you with Tom performing “Up in the Old Hotel.”

More Tom Russell Stories

If you’d like to read more about one of my favorite songwriters, continue with:

  • Folk Monday: Old Friend Slaid Cleaves and Tom Russell – How Mesabi first entered my music rotation and led to plans for a special concert.
  • Tom Russell Live at Jammin’ Java – My memories of seeing Tom and Thad Beckman perform many of these songs live in an intimate setting.

 Voices from Heaven Vol. II -Halonen and Syversen -A Great Yoga & Meditation Album

  By , ,
Voices from Heavern- Vool 2 - Trom Syversen

This morning’s soundtrack for my morning yoga and meditation was one of my favorite new New Age albums. Voices from Heaven Volume II from Norwegian keyboardist Tron Syversen and wordless vocalist Runar Halonen

Every time I have used this album for meditating it has been great. That’s to be expected since the album was designed to take listeners on a deep journey into their inner self.

From TronMusic….

The Voices II music heralds a channeled arrangement on both piano and keyboard combined with voices floating on the waves of music to achieve a powerful sound healing album that creates unique frequencies that will be received in to your body. These frequencies will release your energy when the sharp and high notes are heard, stimulating a needle-energy similar to the ancient of acupuncture without needle.

Most people within the Northern-European-relaxation-healing music community consider Tron a pioneer within their community.. In addition, his music and influence seems to spread farther and farther around the globe each year.  This is a result of the marketing of his recent albums internationally. Each album has quickly risen to the Top 10 on the international Top 100 Zone Music Reporter Chart..

About Voices From Heaven Vol. II

Voices from Heaven Vol. II is composed of three lengthy tunes, each composed by the Halonen – Syvensen team. The tracks are: “My Journey to True Love”, “Rainbow Bridge” and “Hymn to the Lost Souls”

Tron Syversen provides the spacey, ambient, and floating music via piano, keyboards and occasionally synthesized percussion or strings effects. Halonen adds soaring, sailing,drone-like, mood-setting, and uplifting wordless vocalizing. Special guest vocalist Helem Edler Lorentaen joins the duo on “”Rainbow Bridge”. “Rainbow Bridge” also includes Lorentzen playing a shaman drum and Per Elias Drablos on bass.

Bottom Line:  A Sixties Man Rating 4.5 out of 5.

“My goal has always been to make enjoyable music that people like to listen to.”says Tron Syverson “But I also want the music to be good for deep relaxation, meditation, sharp concentration or improved sleep. If my music helps people in their daily lives, I have accomplished more than entertainment. ..”

I say… that on Voices from Heaven Vol II Tron Syversen you have accomplished your goal!!I think the first time I used the album for a meditation soundtrack, I was going to meditate for 15 minutes. The meditation lasted 30 minutes!! The second and third times, I ended the meditation with savasana for five minutes or so…..at the end I checked my pulse it was 43 beats per minute – definitely DEEP RELAXATION!

So Check Out Voices from Heaven Vol. II! As for me I will be checking out Voices from Heaven along with Tron’s Piano Meditations! Along with previous Syversen and Halonen musical guided music collaborations. Such as, Activation of Your Inner Healing, Create the Life You Want and The Translucent Return Journey!
