Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 20, 2024 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Find an ice rink in the San Diego area and snatch up some of the Zamboni leavings that can be piled outside sometimes. Put an at least symbolic wee very-short-time pile in sister's yard. You'll be the, like, bringer of, like, joy.

Nice ide, but probably too elaborate for me. Last year we dialed up a roaring fireplace on youtube and that kind of did the trick

Dude. When I was a little kid I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC and Killeen ,TX. I'd never lived through a "real winter". When I was 7, we moved to New Castle, IN. That was the winter of the "Blizzard of '77". It was all snow, Mopar, and malaise.

Hey, Uncle Michael! Been listening to the show all afternoon. Too mesmerized by the music to send comments. So sad to lose ZAKIR HUSSEIN. Such an amazing musician!. Just like all the rest you have been playing today. Been a McGlaughlin fan since his time with MILES on the "BITCHES BREW" sessions and his startling acoustic LP, "MY GOAL's BEYOND.". Thanks so much for this tribute to some of the greats of Indian music!
