The Amtrak Way

The Amtrak Way

I’ve always loved trains, whether they were my childhood model trains or real trains, trains have been an adventure for me all of my life, so it was only natural for me to take the auto train to Florida for a visit with the grand-kids. Traveling on the Auto Train offers a unique and convenient way to explore the East Coast of the United States without leaving your car behind. Operated by Amtrak, the Auto Train runs nonstop between Lorton, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., and Sanford, Florida, near Orlando, allowing passengers to relax in comfortable accommodations while their vehicles are safely transported in specialized rail-cars. The Auto Train combines the freedom of a road trip with the comfort of rail travel...no traffic, no overnight driving, and plenty of time to unwind.

Fortunately my wife Sarah is an experienced travel agent and she was the one who booked this trip.

Using my old iPhone I recorded some of the more interesting moments starting with getting there.

[re]build: Moving Past Fear To Find Purpose

The famous Stoic philosopher, Seneca, believed that fear is not a sign of weakness but rather a natural human emotion. Seneca believed that fear can be useful in helping us prepare for potential obstacles and challenges. How does one overcome fear, and how does one find purpose in one's life? You might try to google an answer but you'll end up with hundreds of suggestions from this search. Or you might want to pick up a copy of [re]build: Moving Past Fear To Find Purpose, written by my guest who for over 30 years has worked as a keynote speaker, consultant, and coach, and has helped organizations and individuals to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

"Stop That Bus" The Music of "Mickey" de la Vega (Video Version)

"Stop That Bus" The Music of "Mickey" de la Vega (Video Version) It was around 1970 when my step-brother Miguel Ernesto Lasso DeLaVega, known as "Mickey" to his friends, began writing volumes of song lyrics. He may have started earlier with poems, but my brother passed in 1991 so I'll never know.

J S Bach Prelude from Cello Suite #1 now on YouTubePodcasts

 

According to my analytical data J S Bach Prelude from Cello Suite #1 is getting a lot of “Hits”. Personally I don’t know how these analytics work, but now YouTube is hosting podcasts, which also confuses me because who would watch a podcast while driving down RT. 17.

Anyway J S Bach Prelude from Cello Suite #1 is now on YouTubePodcasts:

Our Latest Interview Music is Magic: An Interview with Bradley Ski McCollum I first met today's guest in Austin, Texas on March 23, 2013 on South Congress Ave. between Annie Street East and Milton Street East, while I was recording street musicians for my Texas Road Trip podcast which is where I recorded him playing his original tune “Sing Like The Sages” . A native of Austin Texas, he learned to sing and write from around the age of 12. He has studied Resource Environmental Science at both Austin Community College and Texas State University and prior to this attended school at the MediaTech Institute for Sound Engineering and Live Production. For his day job he is a Team Captain but after work he becomes a multi-instrumentalist of wind, string, and percussion instruments but considers himself a writer and singer first. He also considers himself to be a magician just as much as a musician, because he feels that music is magic. Currently in the process of creating short movies and movie soundtracks, it is my pleasure to introduce Bradley Ski McCollum. Download a transcript of this podcast.

Andy and the Rattlesnakes

Click to play Episode III
Andy and the Rattlesnakes was dubbed “one of the great lost, eclectic underground rock n’ roll bands” by the L.A. Weekly and the band is still making some of the greatest music of their careers, combining their classic sound with the musical influences they have absorbed over the past three decades. In the late 70s and early 80s, Andy and the Rattlesnakes captivated L.A. music fans with their exciting live performances. Since the self-release of their first single in March 1980, a cover of Neil Diamond’s “Solitary Man”, the Rattlesnakes have always believed in the importance of the D.I.Y. ethic and their single, “Third World Wives” was included on 1981’s The D.I.Y. Album: Ten of America’s Best New Bands. We opened today’s show with “Last Summer to Dance”, a song which one Snakes fan wrote, "Last Summer to Dance made me get up and dance! Literally! Put on your blue suede shoes, and dig it!" that fan was John Densmore of The Doors. It is my honor and pleasure to introduce today’s guest Andy and the Rattlesnakes’ very own Andy Krikun.
