Topic: The morning commute...

Was listening to KZOK 102.5 on the way to work this morning. I leave the house around 5am so I typically don't hear much of the Bob Rivers show live (it starts at 6am) - but the radio station replays highlights from the previous day's show from 5am to 6am.

Much to my surprise Joe was in-studio yesterday. Surprising in that his show in Seattle isn't until Sept. 16th, and he has shows in CO, CA and OR between now and then. Joe was talking about a local Blues in the Schools presentation he was doing. Of course they also plugged his upcoming show and the new album, and talked about it debuting at #1.

Joe performed Ball Peen Hammer and Woke Up Dreaming. He was in great voice, and smokin' on the acoustic guitar. I swear Woke Up Dreaming gets faster and faster (and cleaner, if that's even possible) every time I hear it...

What a nice way to commute into work than listening to Joe.  I found the audio link for the show to listen to Joe.

Wow! I don't feel so bad now. 65 miles each way. I leave around 5am and get home about 6pm.

Re: The morning commute...

My commute into Chicago is about 45 miles and when I drive (I'm usually on the train) can range from an hour to two hours, depending on what time I leave (earlier is better).
I drove today and it took me Sloe Gin and half of Blues Deluxe.

Re: The morning commute...

I rode a bicycle to work, when i lived in the bay area. Now that I'm out here in Sac town, it's 15 miles to work, 20 minutes to, and I hour to get home, bumper to bumper and I love it!! It's the best way for me to play my music as loud as I want, nobody to tell me to turn it down ( the wife! )

No, thankfully I don't have that hassle (and expense)...
