Cat.....Cat.....ROBBIE!

Wow, 2 episodes in 2 months.  What can I say?  How about "sorry about that".

I will warn you all in advance though, that I ramble even more then normal over this episode.  I mean, 2 stories about cats that total over 8 minutes each?  That, my friend, is craziness and stuff.  But at least they are both A) entertaining and 2) educational.  I guess you could say they're "EduCATutainment".  You could say that, but I wouldn't if I were you, it sounds stupid.  Really stupid.

It's worth making it through the rambling though, because not only is there some good advice about cat pee and human pee, I also have not one, not forty-seven, but two songs from an amazing local songwriter named Robbie Hancock.  Or Robbie Jason Hancock, or Rob Hancock.  To be honest I'm not sure which one he goes by these days.  Come to one of his shows and ask him.  He's the kind of songwriter that makes me realize that there is no justice in the world vis a vis the music industry, because Rob(bie) (Jason) Hancock is not a household word, and Simon Cowell hasn't yet slid under a bus.  Wow, harsh, but heartfelt.

My point is that you really need to check out the two songs I've got on this week's show, then you really need to follow the links below and you really need to pick up his CD and then you really need to check him out live.  I've included links to his myspace page,  and if you're on Facebook, do a search for "Robbie Jason Hancock" and you'll find his groups.

I've also included links to a few other things I mentioned in the show, because, hey, I LOOOOOOVE links.  Especially of the sausage variety.

Finally, on a somewhat serious note, I was saddened to note the passage this week of Jazz and Blues great Jeff Healey.  This weeks show was already recorded and partially edited when I heard the news over the radio, and rather then re-record what was an already overdue show, I decided to include a tribute into next week's show.  When someone who's as passionate about music as Mr. Healey passes away, the light of the world gets just a little dimmer.   Rest in Peace.

Peace, Love, and Puffy-Swollen-Irritated-Nasal-Passages, (see what I did there?)
