Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
By way of the Jewish calendar, today is the first day of 5763. I’ve never actually been a “practicing Jew.” With my wife and son being part Cherokee Indian, I like to think of our family as “Schmo-hawks” of a “spiritual kind.”
Yes, I’m happily a very new age Californian. I claim myself a spiritual being while riding the 134 to the 5 to the 605 to the 405 to the 73 to the 55 to the sea. There I look west towards the grand Pacific Ocean to meditate on the past year and pray for the future.
I do it in my own way and thank my Jewish ancestors for keeping track all these years. Rosh Hashanha 5763 reminds me to stop working, emails, and making radio shows for a day and reflect…
Ok, I did that yesterday.
Today it’s time to rock on! Since we’re talking New Year, I quickly whipped up some of favorite new vinyl releases of the season!
