Read my Great-Great-Grandfather's diary from his Trip Around Cape Horn in 1850! (added 6/7/00)
For a year or two I tried to log the signs of seasonal change. See The Signs of the Seasons,my pseudoscientific survey of the indicators of the changing seasons. When did it get warm in 2000? (Spring 1999, Fall/Winter 1999)
Wanna
see some
pics? (Here on this website) My more recent pics on
Flickr.
My videos on YouTube.
Personal videos, Morris videos, others.
Here are some music links I recommend:
All Music Guide A great database
put together very well.
Dirty
Linen Concert schedules! The best source I've seen for seeing who's
coming up and what festivals are happening.
A Prairie Home Companion
Towne Crier Cafe, Pawling,
NY
The Turning Point,
Piermont, NY
Radio stations
WFMU, The best, free form, amazing.
WFUV, Used to be Americana, now
is just another WNEW.
WPKN, free form
WWOZ, New Orleans. Lotsa jazz,
some blues, some free form. (I recommend the Cajun show, Sunday 12:00 -
2:00 pm
Eastern
time.)
My music cheat sheet.
Music
genres:
How
many do you know? (From the ARChive
of Contemporary Music )
My collection of music
and videos. Go to the "My Documents" folder.
I've
been off-and-on in love with New Orleans ever since college. It will
never the same post-Katrina. (Here
are some places where you can help.) Here are some
great NO links:
Gambit's Best of New
Orleans
Check out the Bourbo-cam.
On a fast connection (T1) it's almost full motion. Almost like hanging
out. (on the street corner?) And... check out the Fess
cam!! (Tipitina's various locations)
Jazz Fest
A great list of New Orleans
music links!
How to speak Yat
(like
a native or to understand the natives)
Offbeat Magazine. A great
printed and online magazine about LA and NO music.
Tipitina's. This uptown night
club is Mecca for fans of New Orleans music and spiritual home of the
late
Professor Longhair.
I used to move down there every couple of years in the hope of
finding work,
enjoying the climate, the relaxed way of life, etc, but it never worked
out. The last time I tried it I wrote some letters back to my friends.
Here
they are for your enjoyment. Nothing like waking up to see a canoe
floating in the swimming pool out front... or falling bullets on New
Years
Eve or... well you get the idea.
