i was thinkin' 'bout last year and where i was about this time (anza borrego desert camping with my son) while I'm laying aound... i'm just icing my arm on my shoulder, since I broke a bone up there and an elbow while skydiving off a ladder onto some really hard cement while getting the house prepared for the advancing el nino (as well as, to surprise my loved one)... anyways, the recovery is painful and i've got to bear down on physical therapy and get results... so anyways, as i ice up, I'm sitting here thinking I've got some shows in the can, because despite this arduous recovery, I'm headed to Cuba in a week.. i have three weeks of shows to kind of put together.. etc.,etc... the Martin Luther King weekend, the following weekend, and the following, because you never know.. that's three shows ,6 hours of music on air, 2 hours per show to do some research and related tangents, another couple of hours to put it together and that's a lot of time in my week.. but what is time anyway.. there a lot to do before I go.. I guess you know I've been doing this a long time, but i am point man of procrastination.. been doin' it almost as as long as the crazy baldhead, Mr Don Daru... well maybe not quite, but he was on the radio way back when I was just a young punk moving into Reno.. picking up the vibe getting on as a host for folk bluegrass and beyond at KUNR.. with some really good folks and having some good times.. there's some people still around like Eric Swansick and his cowboys theme.. good memories, and there's so many people you meet in music and doing this kind of gig.. though you know, I kinda wish I could meet each and every one that really enjoys the show, cares about it, and keeps me posted now and then.. a big thanks for that and I try to keep up with it all.. it's not an onslaught of things, but you got your daily life... so back to when I think of all the hours I gotta put it in before I go to Cuba in Miami and points beyond and packing and all the other things about life in between.. what does matter and what's important, as i pull forward to I get the music together, get those shows online, and get KUNR the content to play.. because I would like to be there, and also to be out in the audience listening.. the connection with you all.. yeah that's the thing about radio, because you get stuck behind a mic, or tucked into your little voice of trying to put the music together, you just don't get enough contact with those digging the music.. they're groovin' in the sound, maybe sometimes dancing along or adding something to their day, hopefully giving them some thought for things that they may need to do or have contemplated on... I want to do music that does that to me, and refreshes my mind, gets me going, helps me through my day, and on my way..... so with that, I'll be on my way.. wishing you all the great music and love that I can possibly share through dis funky little radio show called Jimbo's Juke Joint & Acoustic Roadhouse Cafe, on kUNR FM, Reno and KNCC FM, Elko thanks folks for give me a listen, and I'll see you down the road...
