Things I Learned This Week

Among the things I learned this week:

* Little J.B., a singer who I love from and tried to find more of based on his performance from Super Bad @ 65: A Tribute To James Brown, is Lee Fields (whom I have a few albums). (Courtesy: The New Yorker)

* Stops don’t make sense with country-wide ETFs for anything but day trading because of what it would take for a major price change. (Courtesy: YM)

* The Apollo is a lot smaller than I expected, and seventeen year olds can rock the house. (Courtesy: Wycliffe Gordon’s Jazz A La Carte)

* There is another type of gin, and it is fantastic. (Courtesy: ZS, JSK, and NYC)

* Not enough parents teach their children, some of whom are grown, how to enjoy a meal. (YM’s A and MS’ N)

* Myrna Loy modeled for Gil Elvgren. (Courtesy: Martignette and Meisel)

Domain Up for Grabs: dcmusicblog.com

A few years ago, I tried to start a music news and reviews blog to counter the poor writing, always upbeat character, and limited coverage of underground music by the existing local outlets. That effort failed. I am finally parting ways with the Web site, dcmusicblog.com. If you are interested–and I know there is interest in this URL–contact me and we can ensure a proper transfer. My registration of the site will expire in about a month.
