Today would have been my grandfather’s 84th birthday. I wrote about him last year. Happy birthday, granddad! The impact that they have had on him is undeniable, as he is undoubtedly one of the kindest, warmest, and most loving men that I have ever known, both as a father to his children and as a partner to me.

Recording the Recordings: Best Music of 2013 (So Far)
http://recordingtherecordings.blogspot.com/2013/05/best-music-of-2013-so-far.html
An attempt to listen to every entry in Tom Moon's "1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die". Monday, May 20, 2013. Best Music of 2013 (So Far). The title is somewhat misleading: this is the best music I've heard in 2013, not necessarily made in 2013. There are 15 tracks from the 1000 Recordings that made the cut; classical, rap, country, folk and rock. You'll find a varied mix of my favorite songs of the last 4 months. And one for the 2013 mix. 1000 Recordings Sampler Episode 3. Posted by Mike Misch.
