Now Playing on Festival Radio

I've been blogged elsewhere. Check out my ruminations on Old School NHL Fans at Dave King's blog at
Ideajoy.
I have a really fine featured artist this week. Susan Werner is a remarkably talented musician - part folk singer, part cabaret singer. She plays a mean piano, and writes great new songs that sound like they're from the Great American Songbook, as demonstrated on her recent album, I Can't Be New on Koch Records.
I am gradually becoming one of those people that I used to make fun of - I have bought a PDA. I used to be able to keep everything in my head for instant recall; now I find myself forgetting meetings and forgetting to do important things. I'm only 39 - this should not be happening to me. When did my life become so complicated that I have to store some of it electronically?
The consolation is that not only is it a really cool gizmo, but I also got a great deal on it, which mitigates the pain somewhay. It was a display model at Micro Center from a line that they are no longer going to carry. It has a digital camera and it plays mp3s. I've loaded a bunch of Kate Campbell and Kate Jacobs tunes on it and set it to shuffle play. Why is it that giving in to the dark side is so much more fun if it has all the bells and whistles?
