“Spinoza’s Dream” – Dave Nachmanoff Dave Nachmanoff writes and performs thoughtful and thought provoking music that is just a joy to listen to. His songs are the songs of life and living.

“Joe’s Ex-Girlfriends” – Carla Ulbrich I’m not sure if Carla Ulbrich should be classified as a comedian first and a musician second or the other way around. Her songs are relevant to the ironies of modern life and give a pause to stop and look at what kind of a mess we make of ourselves. …

Little River Band Maryland Live – 22 Jan, 2014 The first time Cindy and I saw the Little River Band in concert was in Colorado in 1984. They put on a jaw dropping performance that became one of my reference points for what a concert should be. This in mind there was more than a little reservation …
