So it doesn’t look like I’ve posted anything new on this site since 2020! Wow!

The album that caught my attention was Requiem for for a Dream from Karnataka. Since ekreader’s real name is Edward Karn, you can see why the name stood out! Anyway,  let’s see what I found out about Karnataka! From Wikipedia…. Karnataka are a Welsh progressive rock band formed in…

New Challenge – The 30-day New Musician Challenge

The other day, one of the new challenges that I thought I could initiate was the following. The 30-day New Musician Challenge. Each day during the challenge I will search Spotify for a musician whose music I have never heard. Ok so that really doesn’t sound very much different from what I normally do does it? Well, maybe it doesn’t but what the challenge does it gives me some structure something that I can do every day on a regular basis, well, at least for 30 days! Anyway, the first day which was Sunday I actually ended up listening to…

An Eclectic Playlist for A Short Afternoon Trip

Eclectic Playlist is the Highlight of An Afternoon Car Trip This afternoon I made a trip to Walmart and the Cinnaminson Library. I needed to charge my iPhone 7 so I couldn’t pug it into the radio and charge it at the same time, so I brought along my iPod. I always say that I really do need to listen to the older music that I love more. But That would require that I listen to less new stuff which may not be a good thing as I try to present new music here. Anyway today the trip resulted in…

A Night of Native American Flute Music

From Six of My Favorite Native American Flute Players  [espro-slider id=39390] R Carlos Nakai – Canyon Trilogy, Emergence, Feather, Stone and Light R. Carlos Nakai‘s music leads off and ends this playlist. He is my favorite Native American flute player. The three albums that I have taken tracks from are among my favorites. They have all been soundtracks for yoga exercising and also helped to keep me sane during stressful times at work. What I really like about Nakai’s music is that he is alwaus changing things up. Some albums are solo, some are with Will Clipman and William Eaton….

Some of the albums were released in 2013, but they were on the charts in 2014….
