friends,

welcome to sunday night, and a special weekend five-year-anniversary edition of the podcast! as mentioned, i’m leaving town in the morning, and should be returning the first week of september. if all goes well, i hope to be able to podcast somewhere between now and then. not sure if this will be possible?? at any rate, i'll be on the lookout for available free wi-fi.

until then, i leave you with episode 257 – featuring three of my most-favorite songs by nick guerrero and nico bailey, and some thoughts on emily brontë’s (only) novel wuthering heights. i hope you can listen. i also hope you’ll stay-tuned to the rss. I promise to be back asap!

links to our guests:
the artist - nick guerrero
the author - emily brontë
the novel - wuthering heights
the tragic - catherine (earnshaw) linton
the maniacal - heathcliff

love,
russell

friends,

good evening, and welcome to tuesday night! thanks to everyone for staying tuned despite the absence of a podcast last week. i’ve been back home for a few days now, and just uploaded episode 256 – recorded late last week in national harbor maryland. the outcome is a bit unfocused and rambling (i fear) but – regardless – the songs by nick guerrero are very much worth your listen. i hope you will.

as i mentioned on the podcast, I will be leaving town again this weekend, and won’t return home until early september. between here and there, the fifth anniversary of the podcast will be occurring – so – if nothing else – i plan to post something this weekend in honor of the occasion. i hope you’ll stick with me, and check in often.

albeit old-skool – this is the only link i can find to nick guerrero. his music is really good. you should check it.

cheers,
russell

friends,

i’m leaving town in the morning, but – before I do – just want to send a quick weekend hello. there won’t be a normally scheduled tuesday podcast this week, but i hope you can take a listen to episode 255 in the interim.

if you don’t already own a copy of kathleen dunbar’s cd finally home, or danny scherr’s cd richmond special, you should!

more soon,
russell

friends,

happy tuesday! episode 254 is here, and brings us to a few demo songs from 2009 (stare decisis and the most), along with a new home recording (i believe in g-d), and some thoughts about ernest hemingway’s novel a farewell to arms. if you have time, i really hope you'll take a listen.

even more - if you don’t already know it - a farewell to arms is highly recommended from me to you. i just finished re-reading this past sunday night. frederic henry and catherine barkely will be stuck in my thoughts for some time to come.

wishing you a great week. wherever you are.

love,
russell
