The closest option is making your profile public and sharing playlists or stations, but friends can’t see what you’re playing at the moment. Hopefully SiriusXM takes note — this would be a great feature to consider for Pandora’s future.” Have a blessed day, take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

@RagnerTheHiker As a logger and an experienced tree feller, I came across this technique kind of late in my tree felling experience.  The Humboldt notch is commonly used in western logging, especially on larger timber and on steep hillsides. It’s essentially an inverted conventional notch: the top cut is horizontal, while the bottom cut angles upward at roughly 45 degrees. The back cut is made at least an inch above the horizontal cut, which raises the hinge and shifts the point of notch closure to the middle of the fall. Using this technique would have made me more efficient during my years felling trees in the Adirondacks, where the timber runs much larger than what we typically see in my area. It’s particularly valuable on hillsides, where felling becomes far more dangerous and controlling the tree’s movement is critical.  Before I started using the Humboldt notch, I mainly used the Conventional notch and the Opened Faced notch. The open face notch is used the most among tree fellers, but it is essential to know all of the different face cuts and to know which ones to use in different circumstances. Some loggers, however, use the same cut no matter what circumstance they face because it is something they are familiar with and feel safe using. Well, that is my two cents' worth. Take care, and GOD bless.   ... View more

@RagnerTheHiker From March through October, I do landscaping work, I also do residential tree cutting. I used to be a logger for many years and worked for a Sawmill (Lumber Mill). My favorite job I ever had was logging. There is nothing like working in the woods, especially in the winter.  Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

@Brokenheart It is he, not she...Just so you know, for future reference... And yes, I do know my fair share of songs. But I would rather listen to the artist than myself, they sound more like a million bucks compared to me sounding like .10 cents.  Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

@Brokenheart, here is a clear picture of the amount of music I listen to on average. 33,249 hours of music, and here is the breakdown. 438 hours per month 101 hours per week 14.4 hours per day So on average, music has been playing for over 14 hours every single day since late 2019.

@Brokenheart It depends, if I'm posting for This Day In The History Of Music, and Weird but True Facts, Smile or Laugh of the Day, GSOTD (Genre Songs Of The Day). I could be here posting for about 6 hours that day. It takes anywhere from 1-2 hours just to complete This Day In The History Of Music. It used to take more until I cut it back to only posting the more popular events for that day. When I begin working in the Spring, I only post about 15 minutes to 30 minutes per week. As far as listening to music on Pandora, well, here is something you can figure out for yourself: I have 33249 music listening time since October of 2019.  Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more

@SinBadAngel38, here are a couple of fun facts I will share here.  • “Candle in the Wind” → Kate Moss Elton John originally wrote the song about Marilyn Monroe, but later versions and tributes inspired Kate Moss to pursue modeling and eventually music collaborations. Not a perfect match, but a real influence story. • “Hey There Delilah” → Delilah DiCrescenzo She wasn’t a musician at the time — she was a runner — but after the song blew up, she became a public figure, speaker, and media personality. Not a singer, but definitely someone whose life changed because of a song written about her. • “My Sharona” → Sharona Alperin. She became a well-known real estate agent and later worked in music-related business circles. Again, not a singer, but a real case of a song creating a public figure.  These are artists or bands who took their name directly from an existing song.          Rock / Alternative Radiohead — named after “Radio Head” by Talking Heads Blondie Redhead — named after “Blonde Redhead” by DNA After Forever — named after “After Forever” by Black Sabbath Boris — named after “Boris” by the Melvins Death Cab for Cutie — named after the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band song The Rolling Stones — named after Muddy Waters’ “Rollin’ Stone.” Ladytron — named after “Ladytron” by Roxy Music Metal / Punk Bad Brains — named after “Bad Brain” by the Ramones Bonded by Blood — named after the Exodus song Children of Bodom — named after “Lake Bodom” (their own later song, but the name came first from the legend) Pop / Electronic Veruca Salt — named after the character and the fictional song in Willy Wonka Pretty Girls Make Graves — named after the Smiths song Have a blessed day.

@JmanAA He became eligible in 1997, but has never been a finalist.  Some critics argue his style—big, operatic, theatrical rock—doesn’t fit the Hall’s traditional preferences.   Others believe his partnership with songwriter Jim Steinman complicates how the Hall views his contributions. Steinman wrote the songs, Meat Loaf performed them — and the Hall often prefers artists who are seen as the primary creative force. There are other factors that the critics argue as to why he is not in, but these two are the most highlighted.  Have a great day. Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more

@Ethansmith,  thank you for your thoughtful reply. I really do love putting these posts together. It’s not just about the footsteps music has already planted, but about the people behind those footsteps — the individuals, the groups, the cultures that came together to give us melodies that will outlive all of us, just as they did generations before. Looking back at the music that came before us and seeing how it shaped what artists create today is something I never get tired of. As for your question about a favorite artist or year, for me it wasn’t a year at all — it was a moment. I remember seeing my mom sitting on the couch, tears in her eyes, listening to “Coal Miner’s Daughter” by the late, great Loretta Lynn. I asked her, “Mommy, why are you crying?” She looked at me and said, “Son, you’ll never understand the hardship and struggles this wonderful singer and I had in common. Her song takes me back to the early years that made me who I am today.” That moment stayed with me. It taught me that music isn’t just something we listen to — it’s something that carries our stories, and has a personal touch to our hearts. Foolish Games by Jewel has had that personal touch in my life and on my heart. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your support.  I will be back posting soon, so keep an eye out. Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

@Pandora, Singer‑Songwriter has always been my favorite genre. Most of you know Jewel is my favorite artist, and one of the reasons is simple: she writes almost every song herself. Not many artists can say that. Her music comes straight from her own life, and you can feel it. Another great example is my mom’s favorite, Loretta Lynn. Coal Miner’s Daughter wasn’t just a hit—it was her story, written from the hardships of growing up in the coal‑mining camps. And then there’s George Jones, my dad’s favorite. He didn’t write He Stopped Loving Her Today, and he actually hated the song, even though it became one of his greatest. It hit too close to home, reminding him of someone he loved deeply but lost through alcohol abuse and other struggles. That’s what I love about Singer‑Songwriter music. It carries an emotional truth—real lives, real pain, real heartbreak, real resilience. It’s music that doesn’t just entertain; it tells the story of a life lived. Take care, and GOD bless.  ...

@Pandora, I love my created playlists. I have a playlist for work, for reading (several actually), and a kick-back-and-rewind playlist. Plus, my overall favorite, which just surpassed the 2000-song mark. I also have 249 stations that I have collected, and I love playing them on shuffle mode. So I have said all of that just to say I love both... Lol...😂😂😂. Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more
