Well, it's late for the shuffle, but circumstance kept me from posting. As compensation, I extended the shuffle which means tons of music and just a bit of my celebrated wisdom. That last line is ego disguised as wry humility cleverly cloaked in a veneer of ego.
In case you missed it, the Ear to the Ground review of Darrin Bradbury's Motel Oatmeal was featured for a time on the front page of No Depression - the preeminent Americana magazine/website,
The review is still a featured review, and you can read it here.
