Grizzly's Growls podcasts

THIS LAST WEEKEND, ONE OF MY KAREOKE D.J'S, JON B., ASKED IF HE COULD SING A SONG THAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR A LONG WHILE, A SONG CALLED "GOODNIGHT, SAIGON." BILLY JOEL WROTE THIS FOR HIS FRIENDS WHO HAD TO GO OFF TO FIGHT IN VIETNAM. AS BILLY JOEL PUT IT, "THEY LEFT AS BOYS, AND CAME BACK AS OLD MEN. AND THEY WERE THE LUCKY ONES, BECAUSE MANY OF THEM DIDN'T COME BACK AT ALL." IT BROKE MY HEART TO G...

I blame a lot on My Unfortunate Condition.  But, to be fair, a lot of what has happened to me has been my own fault, and it's about time I said so. Theme Music: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod  http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/ The featured song at the end is "Dreaming My Life Away" by Al Carmichael.  I got it from Garage Band, at http://www.garageband.com/artist/betteroffdud

I tend to believe everybody, though I know I shouldn't.  Which means either something bad happened this week, or didn't.  The theme music is still "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod ( http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/ ).  I re-engineered a bit, hope it doesn't blast you out of your chair anymore. Oh, and I ended with a feature song I thought appropriate, and I think you'll like, and if you like...

I'VE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE MY MID-LIFE CRISIS NOW. I GATHER THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'M SUPPOSED TO DO AT SOME TIME. BUT DOING THE MATH, I DECIDED THE PAST FEW TIMES IT'S COME TO MIND, IT WAS TOO EARLY. Music "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod

I'M A READER. I'M NOT JUST AN OCCASIONAL READER. WHENEVER I LEAVE THE HOUSE, I HAVE A BOOK WITH ME. WHENEVER I'M TAKING A BREAK FROM DOING SOMETHING ELSE, I'M READING. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DOING SOMETHING ELSE, I'M READING. Got my first audio comment, from Rich from the "Bloodthirsty Vegetarians" podcast, which I added at the end of the show.  Always nice to be appreciated; haven't done this long, s...

IT'S A SNOW DAY! YAY! NOT MUCH OF A SNOW DAY, GRANTED, SINCE IT'S SUNDAY AND NOT A SCHOOL DAY. BUT IT'LL JUST HAVE TO DO. AS A KID, I USED TO LOVE SNOW DAYS. LISTENING TO KDAL ON THE AM RADIO IN THE MORNING WITH THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS AND SCHOOL CLOSINGS, HOPING MINE WAS NEXT ON THE LIST. STAYING HOME, CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE SCHOOL BUSES AREN'T RUNNING. AND IF WE GOT TO SCHOOL, WE MI...

This is the easiest and hardest episode I've done.  The easiest, because I just told the story, rather than writing a script and editing and such.  The hardest, because, well... listen to it, you'll know why. Music: "Meditation Impromptu" by Kevin MacLeod

My continuing adventures -- and why they really aren't that bad, exactly. DIGITALLY REMASTERED! With music "Continue Life" by Kevin MacLeod (a much better musical choice, I think)

      IT'S RATHER SAD, REALLY, ALL THE THINGS I THINK I KNOW, BUT I REALLY DON'T.  MAYBE IT'S JUST THAT I'M GETTING OLD.  MAYBE I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH OVER SO MANY YEARS THAT IT'S ALL JUST A MUSH OF RANDOM IMPRESSIONS. TOO MUCH TV, TOO MUCH RADIO, TOO MUCH INTERNET, TOO MANY COMMERCIAL JINGLES I REMEMBER FROM WHEN I WAS A KID, TOO MUCH EVERYTHING.  TOO MANY YEARS. DIGITALLY REMASTERED! (wink wink nu...

This is my very first podcast, and it's edited within an inch of it's life.  It's really not that bad, considering... By the way, updated this with music. The piece is "Meditation Impromptu," by Kevin MacLeod. Kevin's got a website of royalty-free music, Creative Commons liscensed Attribution. Here's the attribution, hope I did this right.. And it's a beautiful piece. Better than my aged, raggedy,...
