My musical tastes are pretty eclectic, but I like to think that I have a pretty high standard for what counts as worthwhile. The unintended side effect of that is that there are not a lot of musicians I’m willing to listen to over the long term, and even fewer to whom I’ll pay good money to get a CD.
I’ve recently found (thanks, in a roundabout way, to Laurence) another CD to add to my collection:
Matthew Ebel, Beer & Coffee.
Yes, that’s a link to a place you can buy it. No, it’s not Amazon. No, I don’t get a referral fee. This post is a purely unsolicited and uncompensated endorsement.
Try a representative sample or two from his website:
“Drive Away” and “Tennessee Never Cried (Live)” — good stuff.
No, great stuff.
Personally, I think Ebel sounds like Billy Joel might have, had he grown up somewhere other than New York… and had more soul.
Give him a listen, then buy the CD.

I went to see my regular doctor yesterday, on a sort of “touching bases” visit. As he is not a neurologist, I didn’t actually expect any answers.
He did, however, talk to my neurologist, who has apparently declared himself “baffled.”
Superb.
I see the neurologist again on Friday; he’ll be doing another exam, just in case something has been missed in previous exams. I’m hoping there will be an “a ha!” moment. And no, I don’t mean the 1980s pop group from Norway, even though I think their music video was pretty cleverly done.
I have a bad feeling that when all this is done (assuming it ever gets done) I’m going to end up with a disease named after me. [Note to my little brother: no, not “geekitis.”]
I’ll be seeing my regular doc again in a few weeks. Why, I’m not sure, but it will give me a chance to ask about the TV, which I completely forgot to do yesterday. Oh, and about a handicap tag for the truck. I figure if I can get decent parking, I ought to do just that.
