For this episode, I enjoy a glass of Opolo Zinfandel wine, from Paso Robles. We're going to talk about Sly and The Family Stone, including a couple of albums for the Vintage Pour, and discussion about Questlove's new documentary on the man, "SLY LIVES! (AKA The Burden of Black Genius)." Also, I recommend new music from Sharon Van Etten and Kelela in the Tasting Room. And Paul Simon is touring, including a stop here in Long Beach! Pull up a glass, and dance to the music!

There’s two episodes left this season! I've got my St. Francis zinfandel, along with some other sweets, and I review the year in music. I talk about my favorite live acts (both established artists, and newer), my favorite in-store appearances by artists, favorite music this year, and other highlights of this podcast in 2024. Cheers!

There's only three episodes left this season! Join me as I grab a beer (a chocolate vanilla creme stout), and talk about the newly dropped 2025 Coachella lineup. I had to re-record the episode, so I could highlight the top names, the artists I got right on my mock lineup, and other great acts they've booked. Also, I wish a happy birthday to the late Jeff Buckley, and highlight a couple of music docs premiering later this month. AND, new music from Wallice, Devon Thompson, and Angel Olson. Cheers!
