And, why not? When I started the Friday Fiver, it’s not like there were any hard and fast rules…more like “guidelines”… So, I’m jumping back in this week to give Mari a break and mix things up a bit. Got some brand spankin’ new stuff folded in with older gems and as always, we’d love…
Hello, there! You may have noticed that “Whatever happened to….” Wednesday took a little vacation. That was not intended, but between my retail job kicking off our busiest season on Black Friday, and me personally battling a RAGING sinus infection (one that is *still* with me, and appears to still kick my ass every now…

The premise is exactly like it sounds: every Wednesday, I, or another Music Mama, will revisit a favorite band or artist from the distant or even recent past that we haven’t heard from in a while…
Psssst – Ri here. Let’s welcome Kathryn from Coastal Chick as our newest Music Mama! If you’ve hung around here for any time at all, you know she’s a regular who fits right in with the rest of us nutters. The fact that she loves music AND writing is a definite plus, and we’re damn…
