A radio show from a B&B? I’ve been doing my radio show for over three years. Most of the time, I record it “live” in my home station studio – KZSB AM1290 in Santa Barbara. There, I sit with my producer/engineer and get verbal and sign queues. We have it “down” but sometimes I’m on the road and it’s really amazing that I can do the show from a telephone. My son took these clips of me sitting in our Bed & Breakfast in San Francisco. We were there to attend The Outside Lands Music Festival – but the show must go on (even from the comfort of a B&B)!. Enjoy these videos: The Best of Outside Lands, 2013 and A Taste of Paul McCartney.

Some say time is relevant. Others say it’s measurable and quite finite. Religions have different views of time and theories that vary considerably. For instance, some believe the so-called seven days of creation might have been several hundred years of evolution. Whether it was guided or not might be the province of another column or debate. I leave that to your own beliefs. I just want to assert my view on time, which has changed so much as I’ve gotten older. Teen Love, Outside Lands, & Getting OlderThursday, August 15, 2013 Featured guests: Pastor Drew Sams for “Spiritual Talk.” Kelli Smithgall for “Single Parent Talk” Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column Teen Love. We will also talk about my recent trip to The Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco! Best of Outside Lands, 2013The Outside Lands Music Festival this year was simply fantastic. I took hours of video and you can pretty much get a complete feel for the event in this short 11 minute 45 second compilation of clips, people, and more. I kept all the music clips to well under the “fair use” limit so it’s pretty fast paced and, hopefully, YouTube will LEAVE ME ALONE since I was fully legal as far as I understand. You will see clips of the best concert of the festival – Paul McCartney – as well as others of Surfer Blood, Band of Horses, The National, Gary Carter, Jr., Young the Giant, Jurassic 5, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Head and the Heart, Phoenix, Hall & Oates, Vampire Weekend, Willie Nelson, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. A Taste of Paul McCartney at #OutsideLands, 2013Paul McCartney, at 71, put on a flawless nearly 3-hour show on August 9, 2013 at The Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco. This is just 3 minutes of clips – and EACH clip that has music is shorter than 15 seconds so YouTube – LISTEN TO ME – don’t hassle me about the rights! This should be completely legal and I’m NOT making money from this – just sharing an awesome experience with my friends! When he did “Live and Let Die,” the place went absolutely wild – see it at the end… |
