  This old house was only a few blocks from the state Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. All the neighborhood cats lived in the basement during the winter. The house has long since been torn down, but in 1972 there were AR2ax speakers in the front room, and a lot of good music was heard there.

In the 21st century I am just as opinionated as ever, and I now have an outlet. I shall pontificate here about anything that catches my fancy; I hope I will not make too great a fool of myself. You may comment yea or nay about anything on the site; I may quote you here, or I may not. Send brickbats etc. to: dmclarke78@icloud.com.

Fame at last

Anton Garcia-Fernandez, a professor of Spanish at the University of Tennessee at Martin, is also a music fan. He has been interviewing me about my biography of Frank Sinatra for his website, and I think it's turning out rather well. You can see it here.

Kansas City

We've just spent a week in Kansas City with our pals John and Nancy McGee, and we are more than ever convinced that we'd like to live there. We visited the Truman library in Independence, and had lots of good eats and drinks. Boulevard's Double-Wide IPA is about as good a beer as I have ever had out of a bottle, and Q39 (on 39th Street in Kansas City Missouri) serves the best BBQ we have had since leaving Texas.
