May I Present:

After years of often daily attempts at humour and virtually any stray thought I could snare on my keyboard, I'm changing the name of this space from Such Is Life, to May I Present:. That should still allow me to post on a wide variety of topics, but steer the focus for readers to my most common writing efforts now, on Folk, Roots, Blues & Americana music!

BRAND-NEW: Podcasts at either libsyn.com, or iTunes (thatdanguy's podcast). Check them out at: http://thatdanguy.libsyn.com/ Oh and by the way - you'll have to go way back into the archives to see why I close with "Chow For Now", and to see my apology to the online Italian community...
