I couldn't let the day go by without sharing my thoughts in my increasingly inactive blog. Please consider commenting on the blog if you can.

My go-to Aretha track.  Perhaps I'm also swayed by Chuck Rainey's incredible bass line:

I once heard Marty Balin at a Starship concert in GGP introduce David Freiberg as “my favorite singer.” This beautiful tribute shows a pretty convincing mutual appreciation.

I immediately flashed on attending a double-header at Candlestick vs the Dodgers.  Mays, McCovey, Marichal, Koufax, Drysdale.  I remember McCovey hitting a homer off of Drysdale, back in the day when he was called a "Drysdale Killer."

It’s been about a year since my last blog post.  That doesn’t mean this is worth waiting for, but since I spent so much time watching the hearing, I felt like I needed to process some ideas.

I look forward to your leaving any comments.

Thanks,
Geoff

I just noticed that KCSM is no longer on our cable system.  Upon investigation, I discovered
the TV station has been sold to Santa Rosa public broadcaster KRCB.  The new call letters
will be KPJK, honoring the station's founder, Professor John Kramer.  The article referenced
below says that KCSM dropped PBS in 2009, which I find confusing, as I have been checking
their schedule somewhat regularly for PBS music programs like Austin City Limits, Infinity Hall
Live, and The Artist's Den.  The new station couldn't get PBS membership because PBS doesn't
want more duplicate stations in the same market.

It's a weird lineup of foreign (but subtitled) dramatic series and other oddities.  It's also caused problems for folks who listen to KCSM-FM via cable because their cable channel (which was 199 on Comcast SF) is now also featuring KPJK, which means the new TV station has 2 channel positions, 199 and 17.  Meanwhile the KCSM-FM channel in the radio station section, 962, is having audio problems so some folks are pissed.
We're among the pissed off.  How long does it take for Comcast to pump a decent signal through the system?

about halfway through the TIAA Cref ad, you'll hear the old instrumental "Apache."  I guess I was sensitized to it, since our band started playing it recently!

KCSM is already running promos for their Autumn Pledge Drive -- which is 3 weeks away (begins Labor Day wknd). Guess they were spooked by the shortfalls they had during the last 2 drives.
Isn't there a change in ownership/license?
