The Volume Down Podcast

21/07/2024

A little bit of a new format. More music and a great song by Carsie Blanton - one of many you'll hear from her from now on. A few stories, a little funny stuff - at least it's funny to me - and all in just under 35 minutes. And a new music-focused podcast is in the works featuring all independent artists - so if you are one (or know one), send me something - and send me something while I'm waiting. I have some really good music ready to go and will always be looking to add more. I'll tell people who you are and where to find you - not in a weird way, just to see you perform or buy your music. Doesn't have to be new. If you went to all that trouble to make it, then I'd like to play it.

Episode 6 now out. You'll hear: Louisville and Scotty Scheffler – What’s in a name?; July birthdays; Don’t forget to brush your scam – fake Amazon reviews; The first of many songs by Carsie Blanton; Movie discussion – Salesman (1969); My Dad’s display of business integrity. Music: Holdin...

Now this is the way a book ought to be packaged. Inside this wonderful heavy brown paper wrapping is a book that my wife gave me for Christmas (completing my Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian). The cool stamp shows that this was purchased from Pelican Bay Books in Anacortes, WA. This is not a paid ad, just an appreciation for a classic, simple pleasure and a job well done. You can find them at pelicanbaybooks.com and https://www.facebook.com/PelicanBayBooks/. Look them up. The place looks fantastic. If I am ever within range I will absolutely be making a stop here.

Hi everyone, and welcome to The Volume Down Podcast page. I have had more fun putting this together than just about anything I've ever done, and I hope you'll get some fun out of it as well. You can find the podcast on Spotify (see link below), and I'll be expanding it to other platforms soon. If you are or know of a musician or group who would like to have their music featured on the podcast and have the ability to give permission for its use, please let me know. Also, if you have an idea for something you think I should talk about, or a story that ought to be shared with the world (please forgive the optimism for a podcast that thus far has no followers), let me know on the page, via messenger, or by email at [email protected]. Finally, if you like what you hear, please share it with your friends. This is not a commercial venture - I'm doing it because it’s fun and because I hope that others will get something positive from it.

Thanks for being here.
