Invisible, maybe…but also alive!

Today is Thursday, which means it’s time for a My Own Way post! I don’t know about anyone else in Duranland, but I’m still exhausted from yesterday!

I have never heard my phone as active as it was yesterday,… Continue reading Invisible, maybe…but also alive!

So, here’s the thing: I love talking about set lists. Discussing trends over the past twenty years? (Is that really possible? I mean…didn’t we do Y2K just like, last year???) Count me in! I love chatting about possibilities. So, here’s a podcast where I do all of that! As always, it’s just My Own Way!… Continue reading Let’s Address a Couple of the “Setlist Elephants” in the Room…
