If all goes according to plan, I will be going live tonight at 6:30 PM E.S.T as a solo artist once again!
Unfortunately the weather is looking like storms all weekend, which can mess with the internet. If I am unable to go live tonight then I will reschedule the show.
This show’s theme is another one suggested by Superdekes: Friendship! Good friends, and all the great tunes that connect them. Music, and pals! The reason for this week’s topic is simple.
Today begins the 19th annual Sausagefest. I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to stay isolated this year. While I am 100% confident that none of my friends will get sick, I am practising a stricter social distancing policy. 2020 is a seriously screwed up year, and this year I’m valuing family more than ever. If I want to spend time under the same roof as my parents at the cottage, and have them be comfortable with that, then I need to respect them by adhering to the same distancing as they are. If I want to be enjoying my “happy place” with them, then I need to respect that.
Because I cannot be with my friends today, I’ll be talking about them. My “Nostalgia Stream“, about my childhood best friend Bob, was one of the most popular shows I’ve done. He had a huge impact on me musically, but so did others. This time we’ll be talking about some of the other colourful characters in my crazy life, all centred around the love of rock and roll.
As before, when I’m done yammering on I’ll open it up for others to join in!
Facebook: Michael Ladano or Facebook: MikeLeBrain. YouTube: Mike LeBrain.

It comes around once a year, though it has stuck around longer than usual and the amount of times I’ve felt bad this week is unprecedented compared to previous times. I should be fine. Eventually.

I used to get sick badly once a year like you. This is the first year I haven’t gotten ill in such a long time. More handwashing and distancing, I guess for me.

LeBrain’s Increasingly Elaborate Bids for Human Connection in a Ravaged World of Destruction and Anger is the only title more accurate than LeBrain Farts.

So many good choices to choose from. I like The LeBrain Drain and The LeBrain Train: A Rockin’ Adventure dropping the Friday because that limits you to what day you can do it.

The Train was Jen’s idea! She will be thrilled you liked it.

It is catchy and the tag line is great and you can go so many ways with the phrasing like “Come Aboard the Madnesss” and each week the theme can be a stop along the tracks….”Tracks” – OMG songs are tracks and trains have tracks…BRILLIANT!! :-)

Plus a train can have passengers, like Deke or Books or yourself. I think I might be convinced John.
