The more I speak with people I first met on Vox the more I find myself missing them dearly and looking to sometimes get away from Vox. You hate to be the ol’ timer saying stuff like, “I remember when Vox was cool to blog on” and “back in my Vox day” but I finding myself feeling that way. Slowly but sadly it’s shifting from, if I may use one of my friends line, “grown and sexy” into this high school, juvenile type of place. Or maybe I’m getting to old in the type of social networking. Or maybe that “new car smell” has finally worn off who knows but one thing is for sure for me, it’s time for change.
Maybe all things come to an end soon or a later, or maybe I need to scrap this Vox account and begin fresh and have a smaller neighborhood (I had someone last week ask me to “remove” them from their neighborhood. What was that about I have no idea). I’m finding myself wanting to get back with the small group I started with and just keep it that way. Maybe it’s me rambling on at 5:29 in the morning but maybe others feel the same way about me.
Maybe I’m feeling “net burnout” or maybe I have reach that age where I do not care what I say and I do not have time for trivial things. I’m not feeling Vox the way I used or like I said before maybe it’s just time to revamp my account and just be more selective of my neighbors.
I like technology but I’m finding myself less interested in reading about it. I’m finding myself more interested in what it does and how it can benefit me in the long run. I’m finding myself getting back to my love for music and sharing God’s word and I’m finding myself wanting to share things with people that I know have the same passion that I do. So in the next couple of weeks I will begin really combing through my neighborhood and only concentrating on one Vox account because I have to get back to what really made me join Vox in 2006…the love for communicating with people who love to communicate.
but this is my first time seeing this on Bill Gates
WordPress is a cool blogging tool. It really is. I have a WordPress blog(as you can see) but I have began and stopped, began and stopped, began and stopped in reference to using WordPress consistently. Why? It’s a very powerful blogging tool…much powerful than Blogger but I don’t use it often. Why is that Keith?
I know why plain and simple and I’m not ashamed to say, it intimidates the heck out of me. Trying to learn how to add badges, trying new templates that are not in the WordPress gallery and trying to embed them drives me nuts. I know I need to conquer this no doubt about it. Part of it is laziness too. Reading through info after info I really do not want to do it but that is how you learn. I found another template withing WordPress and I changed it to see if I will stick with WordPress this time. I see other WordPress blogs and I’m like, “darn those look so sweet.”
I also don’t want to get addicted to constantly “tweaking” the blog. I like simple but somethings I have learn to embed it and that’s to. Since I have a little time on my hands maybe I will try and overcome this fear of WordPress and begin blogging here more because let’s face it Keith…your WordPress blog is lookin’ kinda nice.
This netcast is a mixture of laidback tracks with a little “pick me up” tunes thrown in here. I hope your work week was not too stressful and that you now have time to just relax, close your eyes and just enjoy some “me” time for a change.
As always, sit back and enjoy the music I bring to you

TGrundy is a computer professional and music lover (i.e. “junkie”) who hosts two websites on the ‘Net, NetInfoWeb.com and Rhythms In Black Satin.com.
The purpose of the primary site, NetInfoWeb.com, is to act as a soul music sites (what he likes to call ‘SoulSites’) aggregator, a place to discover and promote new and existing websites that are focused on talking about “soul music” in all of its many forms: Soul, R&B, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, etc. It was created just over a year ago out of his frustration at trying to find good sites online to listen to and discover quality R&B music.
The other site, RhythmsInBlackSatin.com, takes it’s name from TGrundy’s radio show that he used to do back in his college days. Still a DJ at heart, RIBS, as he likes to refer to it, lets him indulge his passion for music on a regular basis. Each week on Thursday RIBS features the “Triple Play Thurs-Day” mix, a podcast composed of three different artists or groups from the worlds of R&B, Jazz, Blues and/or Gospel. The mix can be streamed and listened to online or downloaded to your PC. As he likes to say:
Rhythms In Black Satin, music never felt sooooooo good!
ThriftStoreGems:Level 42/David Lanz&Paul Speer/Special EFX/Kenny Loggins
This I think is going to be a pretty cool netcast that feature artists that whenever I hear their music gives me that “warm and fuzzy” feeling inside. I am so glad I took the time to convert these cassettes and I hope you think so too.
For me Kenny Loggins is known more than just his songs from Top Gun, Caddy Shack. I was really blessed to find a cassette LP of his called “Love Songs of Kenny Loggins” He had songs on there that just blew me away so I am so glad I held on to this cassette and was able to convert it. I have looked all over the web for this on CD but can not find it. Thank goodness for the technology to digitize this.
When I first heard Special EFX I was a stocker at Ann Taylor(I feel as if I have told this story before…oh well) the the first track I ever heard from this duo was, “The Flow” and what captured my ear was the bird whistle in the song. So when I had an opportunity to grab their cassette LP “The Slice of Life” I jumped at it. Till then I have bought several of their LP and again while in a discount store I came across “Double Feature” and was blown away by each track on the LP. The smart guitar playing by Chieli Minucci and the strong percussion playing by the late George Jinda hooked me from day one.
I got my first wind of David Lanz when I was a night janitor cleaning Target stores and I came across a compilation cassette LP by Narada artists and later on that year I began working for The Nature Company where I came across the collaboration of David Lanz and Paul Speer. The cassette LP Natural States. I think the Discovery Channel has converted The Nature Company stores but it’s just not the same. One good thing is that I was able to learn about the artists from the Narada label.
Back in the 80s Level 42’s song, “Something About You” was all over MTV(back when MTV was MTV…Music Television). It was something about this song that made me go to Streetside Records and buy this cassette LP “World Machine”. Once I got the LP home was hooked on the vocal and bass playing of Mark King and the vocals of Mike Lindup. Their sounds takes me back to Summer evenings being with your close friends are the one you love. Since then I have two other cassette LPs by Level 42 tracks on this netcast are from the Standing In Light.
Kick back, relax and let me take you to another place with these tracks.
