Dizzy Heights #98: So It’s Come to This: A Covers Show

  By

Truth be told, I’ve been wanting to do a covers show since I launched the show in 2017, but it just felt wrong, lazy, too easy back then. I am knocking on the door of 100 Dizzy Heights shows, and it’s 2025. I have no shame about doing one now.

I mention two rules for making the show in my talkie bits, but I overlooked the third one: it had to be a studio recording. If you welcome live covers into the party, well *the universe explodes*

Also, I was wrong about who wrote one of the songs. It was Danny Whitten. That’s probably a giveaway for a lot of you.

Thank you, as always, for listening.

Dizzy Heights #97: The Re-Beginnening

There is clearly something wrong with my microphone. My daughter has been using it for gaming purposes for the last year, and my kids’ rooms tend to be the places where good electronics go to die. I should have known better. I will do better with the next show.

So what was all of that talk about calling it quits two years ago? I couldn’t yet tell you the truth – we were planning to move, and the kids didn’t know that yet. Knowing that there would be no time to make shows in the months leading up to the move, I decided to say that the show was done, but I never really wanted to stop. You don’t get this close to making 100 of anything and willingly walk away.

Already prepping the next show, so I’m not going to disappear for three months like I had been. At least not right away. 😊

Thank you, as always, for listening.
