Virginia Tech has become one of my all-time favorite voiceover clients. They are great to work with, provide good copy and direction, and produce great work. Essentially, they do all the work for me. All I have to do is stick a mic in my face and try not to screw it up. Here’s a new video they produced with my voiceover that will run online, on their social media and during in-game.

I hosted River City Limits on Richmond’s independent radio station WRIR on Saturday night. It features artists from in and around RVA. Here’s a playlist of the the songs and artists played who have a presence on Spotify -plus a few more that I had planned to play but ran out of time for. There are a few who are not on Spotify and are not included here. Check the WRIR logo below for the full playlist. See who else was on the show and go and support them too.
Once upon a time I had a podcast. It featured good people doing good stuff. It focused on wellness, mindfulness practices, health, creativity and other interesting topics. I’d invite smart, interesting people in to ask them questions so I could steal their knowledge and share it with you, the listener. The original name was a little to similar to another entity so I renamed the podcast and relaunched it as “The Good Eye Podcast“. The podcast and an accompanying Facebook page is live. Look for Instagram, Twitter and YouTube with the handle @goodeyepodcast and a website for notes and other content at goodeyepodcast.com. The first new episode is about this year’s Bike MS: Colonial Crossroads event to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It follows my brother and me as we participate in the MS Ride from Richmond, Va to Williamsburg, Va and back. Check it out! And feel free to submit topic and guest ideas via the Facebook page. Thanks! -Jay
This week’s episode is a profile of the 2019 edition of Bike MS: Colonial Crossroads. A whole bunch of cyclists, support crew, police, sag vehicles and MS Society organizers head from Richmond to Williamsburg – all at once! I’ll have audio from the event, interviews with riders, organizers, support staff and more. We do it every year to try and eliminate Multiple Sclerosis. Come along for the ride!
R.I.P. Hal Blaine
Looking back at The Wrecking Crew‘s Hal Blaine following his passing earlier this year. One of the greatest studio musicians ever and one of the most recorded drummers of all time. His drumming has been heard on thousands of songs and hundreds of hits, 40 of which went to number one, laying the foundation for artists such as Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, John Denver, Tanya Tucker, Simon & Garfunkel, Barbara Streisand, Steely Dan, Neil Diamond, and the Byrds. It’s fascinating to hear him in the context of so many different arrangements and approaches to songwriting, recording techniques of various producers, tones, artists’ musical visions and evolving tastes in different eras of popular music. And yet you can always hear his signature sound within it all. His influence on drumming and session recording in popular music can’t be measured.
FULL ARTICLE: 4 Signs You’re Culturally Appropriating Buddhism
This is a really interesting article. It makes some great points, but it also seems to be taking the signs, tokens, symbols, and cairns of spiritual practice too literally. I cringe when I see yin yang symbols on word burnings at Target and on cocktail sets at Crate and Barrel, and cultural appropriation always sucks. But if you take Buddhist teachings at their word, non-attachment and impermanence would dictate that the symbols of Buddhism, “religious” or not, should be seen as just that, symbols. And symbols are subject to non-attachment and impermanence. They’re just physical-worldly markers.. reminders. And as such, any inappropriate or purely aesthetic appropriation only amplifies the distance the user has yet to travel on their path to enlightenment, whether they consider themselves on that path or not. Which would thereby make the appropriation itself useful as a teaching tool – which is actually the intended purpose of the symbol/marker/lesson in the first place and brings us full-circle, to this article. Two steps forward, one step back as a practically newborn species on the timeline of spiritual, intellectual and physical evolution. Thanks to Rachel Douglas of The Innerwork Center in Richmond, Va. for sharing this article. It got me thinking, and reflecting, and meditating. Which is good. Oh, and for obvious reasons, it was an intentional choice not to provide an image to accompany this post. What’s one less symbol?
