http://mattorel.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, April 18, 2015. Getting high with a little help from a friend. Played with Ringo Starr. Last night, and there was an echo of magic in the air. Just before that, Stevie Wonder. Combined to create unforgettable performances of Bill Withers's. Most famous songs. The induction ceremony lasted 5 hours, this was the first I've attended. These high points in the wee hours will stay with me for a long time. Beck arrives and greets fans.

Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Just a little bit warmer. Graph 1: Ascending: The global temperatures of my life. (data source: GISS). Last Friday, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) released the final piece of data for 2014 global temperatures. The numbers are published in several places, and the newspapers. Pick them up almost instantly, but the page I've always used is http:/ data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata v3/GLB.Ts dSST.txt. Graph 2: Look at this, it's flat! Was anomalous in absolute ...

Orel Family: November 2014
http://mattorel.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 22, 2014. Joy and a Lot of Wonder - Stevie Wonder, November 20, 2014. Playing Sir DukeL Stevie Wonder at The Palace of Auburn Hills, November 20, 2014. Songs in the Key of Life. Has always been, to me, the. Perfect album. An album of astonishing breadth, both topically and musically. An album in which every note, every utterance, seemed perfectly placed. The album that taught me why a great double album might have side one on a different disc than side 2, because of course. To play har...

http://mattorel.blogspot.com/2015/05/dylan-and-then-mcguinn-in-michigan-may.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Dylan and then McGuinn in Michigan - May 15 and May 16, 2015. Roger McGuinn at the Michigan Theater, May 16, 2015. How often do we get to see the master and arguably his greatest interpreter back-to-back? Not too often, I don't think. So off we were Friday to see Bob Dylan. At the Fox Theater in Detroit. At the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. Even though it was two weeks out of date - gave a fairly precise idea of what he was going to play. Not that I have an issue with songs like "P...

http://mattorel.blogspot.com/2014/12/whiplash.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. Play, and of the one time at Fort Ord when he was the only person in a dining hall where Lester Young. Was practicing. When dad was 80, an old record would make him 20 again. That was the power of the best music. Today, my 17- year old son is becoming a player. Not yet breathing it, really, not yet really. Yesterday, we saw the movie. It has a 96% rating over at rotten-tomatoes. It's from a CD. On a boombox. I've read that writer / director Damien Chazelle. But then I start t...

Orel Family: July 2014

Thursday, July 31, 2014. Tambourines and Elephants: John Fogerty at the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater, July 30, 2014. John Fogerty at the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater (photo: John Fogerty facebook page). Being too young to see CCR play, I waited. a long time. I didn't see John play live until the 1990s, and last night was still just my 4th show - and two of the other 3 weren't full length performances. In recent years, John has come around as an opening act for performers like John Mellencamp. And groupon was selli...
