here’s the next of the shows that have gotten me out of the doldrums lately.  been meaning to post this all week, but life got in the way as happens sometimes.  on the other hand, i’ve listened to this around 4 times this week, and it’s still as fresh as a daisy.  enjoy!

things are opening up here in dublin, at last, and though i’m nervous, i’ve been to one jazz show this month and have tickets for another.  it was so nice to get out of the house for some live music.

recording-wise (“-wise”… you can tell i’ve recently seen the apartment starring jack lemmon & shirley maclaine), it’s been a bit of a slow month though, with nothing really lighting my fire except for the arrival of a few cds i’d ordered in late february.  until the past few days, when things picked up starting with this 2012 show originally shared by ‘watten’.

here’s a nice bit of italian jazz that i’ve been listening to, shared by ‘survivor69’ that same day. no seriously, how do you do that?  even when the program is early in the day?  i found a pdf of the program (a copy is now included).

i recently bought an avermedia tvhybrid usb tuner for tv and radio.  i’m mostly using it just for listening to radio when i feel like it, and it’s great also to have a radio when travelling with my laptop.  works well, easy to install and, big surprise, turns out i get loads of irish television!   and i can record both fm and this new live tv!  not that i’ve found anything that i want to record off the air in the past 5 years, but sure, that’s a different question.
