Two from Dag Nasty
Both of these songs by Dag Nasty, “One to Two” and “Circles, have been in my head non-stop and I can’t get ‘em out. This isn’t a bad thing by the way: both of these songs have aged really well, and they’re still relevant today.

Les Paul, RIP
who says only the good die young? Les made it to 94.
The World is Waiting for the Sunrise
Here he is at 91:
I never got a chance to see Les (almost did in the 1990s, but the cover was wicked steep).
Read More..>>Fourth of July Bluegrass
I’m off to Out Among the Stars, the best bluegrass festival in Pennsylvania. It’s a really healthy break from politics, although at some point i’m sure there will be an unavoidable debate about something.
It’s a time to slip out of my skin, and get back to what really matters: family, friends, community, and music. [...]

Where to begin…
Jon Jones, the guitar player in the AC/DC shirt, is an old friend of mine going back as far as Tim Kelly. He played in tons of great hardcore bands back in the day (none of who have websites) like Positive Outlook and Step Forward, before moving on to the post-punk Two [...]
