Lenderman and Brad Cook along for the ride. If you were a fan of Katie and Allison's old band P.S. Eliot this album is a must for you.

Never fear though, Wally's here once more to share what's happening in his music world. The latest thing is the younger folks have really embraced the Nineties. We're talking about grunge, indie/alternative, shoegaze, and jangle pop.....all of which really began in the Eighties, but didn't reach its full flowering until the next decade.

I was on the road to Mule Town on 840 when a sudden feeling of dizziness came over me. Perhaps I was dehydrated. Or maybe I was dying. I just knew I was halfway to where I was going and I didn't want to turn around. I had to concentrate. If I could just get to where I was bound the dizziness would go away. I cranked the AC up.

Part OneMy oldest daughter is really into the Muppets. I suppose the whole family is actually. I was almost 3 years old when Sesame Street premiered. So the Muppets have been with me my whole life as they have been for my children. Disney+ streams The Muppet Show so when my oldest was home for a visit a few weeks back I found her and younger sister watching episodes of the classic series.

I've just been busy doing stuff lately. I even went and saw MJ Lenderman live in Knoxville over the weekend. It was a most excellent night of music that I might do a full blown review on in a few days.

It was foolhardy for me to think I could deep dive into each month. I spiraled into depression after the post chronicling January 1993 and came close to throwing in the towel completely. So I'm compromising instead, with fewer links and YouTube videos. This time around we'll go through 4 months at once.
