Cayamo 2015 Through A Social Media Lens

Music, photography, social media, , ,

It has been almost a week since our return from Cayamo 2015 (the eighth edition of the Americana music cruise, hosted by Sixthman, and the fifth one my wife and I got to attend). So many musical highlights there is no chance I can list them all. But for me, the nicest moment was getting on an elevator only to find Buddy Miller on it, and getting to say “Thank you” to him for all the great music. The genius musician and producer is so modest he actually thanked me in return. Rather than trying to summarize the musical experience with any more words, I am going to merely opt for a sampling of social media photos from Cayamo 2015.

Documentaries To Haunt You: From One Second to the Next

Film, social media, , ,

Apparently AT&T hired Werner Herzog to documentary about the dangers of texting and driving, available on YouTube, called From One Second to Next. Not surprisingly, the film legend does a damn good job with it, taking four stories ranging from the perspective of victims and those texting. It is haunting, just as described by the Slate post that made me aware of it.

I am guilty of checking email as I drive, I will admit that. I need to stop because my luck is going to run out someday. I could have been in this documentary.

Where Have I Been?

social media,

No new posts since late November? Yowza.

I love pop culture and I love social media. And since I first developed this blog, the ability to share my thoughts-random and short-has become much easier with sites like Tumblr (You can find me there here). And the feedback is more immediate than I often receive on this blog.

Is this my time to end the blog? Heck no. For one thing, I cannot run interviews on Tumblr-and I still want to have this forum to express myself. I may start providing links to fun Tumblr items (or other social media observations) as well.

Thanks for your patience, in the interim, and thanks for reading.

Live Rosanne Cash…From Her Living Room

Music, social media, streaming video, , , , ,

Rosanne Cash is a songwriter/musician/writer and (as far as I am concerned) an overall genius. She loves Twitter and loves to interact with her followers. So it was in this case, where she took musical requests via Twitter for a few songs to record in her living room with husband/producer John Leventhal, in a series called “Live From Zone C” for AOL’s The Boot. Below watch one of the videos, Black Cadillac.

Man, the audio production on the video is just exquisite.
