Clarence Carter Ruined My Life
•May 15, 2026 • Leave a Comment
When I saw that I’d missed a call from my mother an hour earlier, it felt ominous.
When I called back, she confirmed. “I just called to tell you; Clarence Carter has died.”
Clarence had an indelible impact upon my existence. I can say no more without revealing familial truths not meant for public disclosure. But I needed to publicly acknowledge his passing.
Mother Talk

Several years ago, I decided to acknowledge The Mothers of all my friends in thanks for the great work they did raising their children.
I searched for the mailing addresses of the Mom’s I’d personally met over the years, so that I could send them actual Mother’s Day cards.
This also helped me remember to send cards to my Mom, Aunts, Cousins and friends who were Mom’s, themselves.
I did pretty well for a few years. In fact, this is the first year since starting that I completely hosed it.
Sorry, Cindy, Carol, Zoey, Jen, Darcus, Charlene, Inez, Penny, Sammie, Pollie Alice, Annette, et al.
Happy Mother’s Day.

Kenny Loggins in “High Adventure”
•March 14, 2026 • Leave a Comment
Been sleeping on this album for decades.
Firstly, look at that cover photo. Imagine waking up to that every morning. Got me feeling all Marcia Brady. Dreamy.
Blinded by the hits – “Don’t Fight It” (ftg Steve Perry) and “Heart To Heart” (ftg Michael McDonald) – I naively missed out on the gems supporting Kenny Loggins’ 5th solo album.
The fact that it was released in 1979 alone should have clued me in that this one was a winner. Most of the records in my collection from that year are stellar.
This album is a pleasure, and a precursor to much of what was yet to come in 80’s rock.
Every song is hit worthy… wait. I spoke too soon. …
This closing track is not hit worthy. Kind of a bore.
Not enough to ruin the listen, though. It’s been on repeat for a few days, now.
These grooves will definitely be getting more wear moving forward.
