After some quick follow up about Jason's keyboard situation, we dig into a big topic of giving up on games and how we decide whether a game is worth the continued time investment. Have you heard of the small game called World of Warcraft? It's getting a major update. Also, Game Pass is getting a price increase, so is it still the best deal in gaming?

This week we're staying in the world of the Big B's of the 60s - but now it's Bob Dylan and his achingly beautiful 1963 ballad "Girl from the North Country" (3:07). Erik thinks it's a meditation on being forgotten, written at a time before Bob was famous. We get deep into the song, including the lyrics, the "place" of the song, and the moaning mouth organ! Then, in 1965, Link Wray did the song! (1:18:59). This one rawks. 'Nuff said. The third version is by Kansas kids The Blue Things (1:39:19). Weldon thinks the galloping drumbeat here takes the song to the American West. Oh, and it's also a stomper. Finally, there's some real obscuros, The Plymouth Rockers, who had We Five on their mind with their rendition of Dylan's ditty (2:01:29). It's jangly, we like it! And Bob's yer uncle!!
The boys are back together in Chicago. We talk Open Championship and Brian Harman pissing off the entire Country of England plus what the hell is MegaCorp (00:00:00-00:26:51). The running backs have gotten on a zoom call together (00:26:51-00:35:08). Who's back of the week including Messi the GOAT and bunk bed technology getting out of control (00:35:08-00:56:21). Joe Buck joins the show to catch up on his first year doing MNF, whether or not he misses Baseball, his now rectified beef with Eli Manning and who he will root against this upcoming season (00:56:21-01:42:03). Mt Rushmore of Blue Things (01:42:03-02:01:14) and we finish with a Monday Reading of "Husband Dinner" (02:01:14-02:18:30).You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Everyone can benefit from adopting more productive habits into their day, most especially salespeople. Meeting quotas involves staying on task and focused. They cannot afford the liability of distraction. To learn some key ways to develop productive habits, listen to this episode of Sales Reinvented with special guest Chris Croft! Chris Croft hails from the United Kingdom and offers in-person training in project and time management. If you’re not native to the UK, he offers courses on Lynda.com and has a popular YouTube channel. He’s been a management coach for over 16 years, is an author, and an all-around expert in the field of time management—a core competency of productivity! Outline of This Episode [0:20] Paul introduces Chris Croft [1:05] What is productivity? [2:30] Why aren’t salespeople productive? [5:10] How to improve day-to-day productivity [9:35] 7 tips to overcome procrastination [13:05] Productivity tools to embrace [17:00] Top 3 Do’s and Top 3 Don’ts [19:50] His favorite productivity story Time management is a core habit sales professionals must develop Salespeople are constantly barraged with choices. What activities that they engage in can vary greatly day-to-day. It’s important to focus on the important things and do those well. But many sales professionals are flexible opportunists that are easily distracted—it’s the nature of the job. So having a grasp of time management is essential to being productive. Chris illustrates his point with a color-based time management model: Red = Key time that you are doing productive things essential to your job. Black = Administrative tasks that you want to minimize. Blue = Things that are forgotten which may include planning, creating, thinking. Anything that is future-based. The goal to being productive is finding a balance—a blend—of the three colors. All are things that do fall on your to-do list, but each with differing importance. Productive habits begin with decluttering the mind Chris advocates for completely emptying your mind so you can focus on the present moment. No one wants to be thinking about a project they need to work on while in a meeting with a client. So what do you do? Get a diary, journal, planner, etc. and write everything down. Write down every appt., every promise made, every follow-up call, and any tasks you need to remember. In that same planner, Chris recommends creating an appointment with yourself every day. A half-hour time-slot for you to plan. His second tip is to never allow your calendar to get full. Save yourself an hour each day for small tasks (such as emails) that crop up throughout the day. Lastly, note whenever you need to complete a follow-up action such as calling a prospect back. Chris talks about creating a master list and a daily to-do list and why it’s important they must be different. Keep listening! 7 ways to beat procrastination Chris believes a characteristic of a great salesperson is discipline, and disciplined people know how to overcome procrastination. He details 7 things you can begin to implement to procrastinate less: Write a task in your planner so your mind isn’t cluttered with trying to recall what you were supposed to do. Leave whatever it is that you need to complete visible on your desk, so it’s not “out of sight, out of mind”. Break a large task into smaller chunks so it’s easier to complete. Have a fixed work routine. Perhaps you call 5 people immediately every day. Start the day with whatever is hanging over your head. Make the rest of the day easy. Reward yourself when you knock out a difficult task! Chocolate, anyone? Make sure you’re getting enough sleep! A lack of energy will impact your productivity. Chris outlines some other productivity tools he recommends, habits to develop, and his top 3 do’s and top 3 don’ts. Don’t miss his insight into productivity. Blurring the lines between work and home is allowed Chris was on holiday in the Lakes District (in England) with his wife. They were walking their dog, and he got a work phone call. He answered it and happily scheduled some training courses. He wrote it in his planner, pocketed it, and continued with his vacation. Many might criticize him for taking a work call while on vacation. But to Chris, it was a complete win. He took a few minutes and scheduled something that he loves doing. Blurring the edges between home and work is okay! If you have to completely separate yourself from the work you do, maybe you’re in the wrong job. Because if you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.

Set 1: Diggin' into the 45 vault for Tony Jackson & the Vibrations with "Fortune Teller" with stellar guitar work from Paul Pilnick...why isn't he in the R&R Hall of Shame?....Charlie Feathers [another candidate if you ask moi….maybe the requirement is a full set of teeth?] singin' his tale of a "Wild wild party" which was released on a 7" slab o wax in 1961 / Memphis Records. Mickey Most doesn't want to miss the 45 rpm party but even if he does "It's Alright" w/ Sir James Page on guitar...Fairport breaks the 45 spell with a cut from their first LP with "Time will show the wiser"...Ian McDonald aka Ian Mathews on lead vocals and none other than Judy Dyble on background vocals...great guitar work from Richard Thompson... Set 2: The Bloos Magoos on 45 rpm..."So I'm wrong and you are right"...after this [their 1st 45] they changed their name to The Blues Magoos. The Blue Things with a DRR staple "Orange rooftops of your mind" on a 45 from RCA...Killer! The Onion Radio News checks in with their weekly report on prison food....And speaking of food....Papa Link Davis on a small label out of Texas with "Rice and Gravy Boogie" takes us to The Nazz "Under the Ice" a 45 rpm on the SGC label 1968. Set 3: A bunch of Browns.... Roy Brown w/ the R&R Trio on a 45 / Imperial Records 1958...."Hip shakin' baby"...Roy never sounded better! He doesn't need more cowbell he needs more REVERB!....Milton Brown & His Musical Brownies check in with an instro-mental "Takin' Off" / Decca 1935. Brown is considered the architect of western swing predating Bob Wills by a few years. In fact Wills got his start in one of Milton's early bands...the world would know more about Milton Brown had he not died in a car crash in 1935 driving his "date" home. The Steel guitar is played by one of the greatest of all time Bob Dunn who is credited with the first amplified steel guitar ever recorded! Phil Brown keeps the ball "Rollin' and tumblin" off his first record called Cruel Inventions from 2002...I dig Phil a lot....James Brown with "It's a new day [Let a man come in" from 1970 finishing out the last proper set of music for the evening..... We finish out the festivities with one of the great German bands of the last 50 years...CAN. "She brings the rain" is the b-side of their 2nd single and a great one at that...Earl Jean [McCrea] with the original recording of "I'm into something good" which was a big hit for Herman's Hermits....and taking us to the finish line is a really good Canadian band called Mother Earth...their cover of Soul Sacrifice is essential! That's if for this week.....so if the good lord's willin' and the creek don't rise we'll be back at the Purple Grotto with another DRR Show next week....stay smooooth…...

Hey....it's been awhile....I could use the excuse that I've been busy so I will. That compounded by the decision on my part to start selling off my vast LP collection and only keeping what I either listen to or want to use for future broadcasts. The money realized by "the selling' is being used to purchase 45's & 78's!! So not all is lost r&b, psych, blues heads! Dig this Pod originally broadcast in February 2012.......
Oh brothers and sisters.....it's been awhile. I could use the excuse that life has gotten busier, harder, unmanagable, yada yada yada....but the God's honest truth is that I'm a lazy Irishman that's been searching for inspiration...a period of calamity, uncertainty and sloth hopefully has tipped it's hand, shot it's load, got the f**k out of town, found another body to inhabit......we ask not for forgiveness but for absolute salvation!! WE'RE BACK!!!
From the opening salvo of Russ Meyer to Richard Lloyd's rerecording of Fields of Fire we aim to pummel....Link Wray / Dale Hawkins / The Blue Things / The Kills / The Kennedys / Junior Wells / Bobby Freeman / Elmore James / The Troggs / Steve Wynn / The Galileo 7 / The Southern Sons / Link Wray & finishing off another hour with Richar Lloyd's rerecording of his fantatastic "Fields of Fire" originally on Mistler Records 1985....the 20th anniversary of the song......
We're pretty busy these days with the holidays right around the corner....but managed to craft another 58 minutes of podcast with 45's, 78's and LP cuts from the quasi-meritricious vinyl vaults located here in Boonton, NJ.....We found a copy of XTC's Dave Gregory's mega-rare 22 track-made-for-friends and relatives "Remounds" and sample 2 cuts from it...So kick off you shoes, get a "cuppa" your favorite poison and "dig the vacuum 'cause tomorrow is a drag, man, a king size drag......" if I might quote the famous for 15 seconds Philippa Fallon from "High School Confidential"......Next week: Santa's Got A Brand New Podcast
