A Prolegomenon to My Future Writing or Your Future Reading

I often promise myself that I will write more, that I will expand my horizons a bit. I want  to write about my deep love of jazz and my belief in its power and artistry. But instead I sit on my hands, with the same dreary, predictable results: I lose circulation in my hands and get nothing done.

But no more!!

I will be sharing with you, novice or jazz maven, the musings of a man utterly smitten by jazz. I listen to it all of the time, both new and early-ish (I'm not a big swing, pre-bop, New Orleans, early jazz guy -- it doesn't much move me).

I don't know how to speak about music in a very professional way. That is, I can't talk the technology of scales or specific musical technique. But I can tell you what I like and why I like it. I will always link to Spotify so you can hear each piece for yourself and then share with me your thoughts.

I will also use this blog as an occasional venting place to talk politics, domestic and foreign. In this blog I speak only for myself,  a man with an opinion and a desire to write about it and what I see in the world.

Please leave me your thoughts and musical suggestions and so forth.
