Nothing Ventured

The wave towered over me. Then the sound filled my ears. Not the calm breath of the waves; but it was surf music. I was maybe 3. Song names and artist names were beyond me. There was only the blue-green wave and the twang of the guitar.

I have chased music all my life. Just had to figure out the tools. The record player and the giant speakers taught my first lesson: pressing buttons was joy. In my pursuit I learned in about records, tapes, CDs, mp3, flac, streaming, Napster, torrents, Winamp, VLC, blanks, CD-R/RWs, compression, bit rates, conversion, transfer, backups, VPN, networking, impedance matching, DACs, amplifiers, calibration, ARC, fibre, buying, licensing, and streaming in approximate order.

Most people know my love for Norah Jones (I bought the cassette for Come Away with Me before all the awards), most people don’t know that I’m a long time fan of Anoushka Shankar also. To hear the sisters talk and play together is something else! If for some crazy reason you don’t want to listen to the podcast, here are some of their songs from albums:

Here’s one of Anoushka with Sting:

And the best tribute I saw to Chris Cornell:

Now go listen to the podcast 😉
