Collect records, work full time and, graduate with my Masters in Social Work recently, working part time in a substance abuse clinic in addition to my full time job...I'm not busy at all.
I intend for my blogs to celebrate my record collection and the music I love and not to infringe on any rights of artists or record companies. If any artist or record company that I feature in my blogs wants their songs removed, please contact me by email and I will immediately delete it.
Ray Manzarek died today. I always liked him and recently watched several documentaries and concerts on Netflix on the Doors and found Ray's storytelling compelling. This is a quick post and
tribute
I don't know what it is lately but the spam to my blog has been absolutely horrible. I have had to change my settings so I hope that does not detract from my readers posting comments. I love to receive comments but weeding through the stupid a** spam has been RIDICULOUS.
My friends Ray and Jim gave me some cool albums yesterday, some Miles Davis on Prestige, Coltrane on Impulse, Cream on Atco. So I was trying to come up with something special for this post as it is post 700 and was in a jazzy mood. Yeah, this probably isn't your cup of tea.
Graduation was wonderful yesterday and it is official- I am out of school. Of course I will still have some studying to do for the 2 licensure tests I will take but no more class. It seems like my life has had the motto for the past 3 years of "Wait For Me"
Tomorrow's the big day. Went to the Social Work celebration reception tonight and had a good time. My co-workers at both my jobs (full time and part time) threw me little surprise parties and I thank you all. Here is my favorite Ten Years After...we Social Workers believe we can change the world
I had the chance to copy some 45's to the computer today. This fantastic Ray Davies song was a lucky pickup within the past 6 months. Would have loved to have heard a polished Kinks version of this!
I had my last class today....let that sink in a moment...the last class. In 13 days I will be walking across the stage to receive my Master's degree. I'm hoping I can get back to this blog more than once every 3 weeks.
