I listen to a little bit of everything, from Billy Joel\u2019s greatest hits, old and new New Kids on the Block (not a joke), Hank, Willie and of course my favorite \u2013 Blake Shelton! Right now, I\u2019m really digging the newest CD from the Royal Southern Brotherhood. The band features an old friend of mine and St. Louis native, Mike Zito. If you like blues, you definitely will want to check it out!<\/p>\n

I enjoy watching\u00a0Parts Unknown<\/em>, with host Anthony Bourdain. You never really know what you\u2019re going to get, as this show generally explores places you quite possibly would never even consider visiting. Bourdain visits some of the most fascinating places around the globe and adds his own commentary.\u00a0You really get the feeling that you\u2019re along for the ride, experiencing for the first time.\u00a0That, for me, is the charm of the whole thing.\u00a0Each\u00a0episode takes viewers\u00a0anywhere from big cities to small remote villages, focusing on local cultures and customs, history and current events, music, politics and social conditions,\u00a0local celebrations, oddities, and more.<\/p>\n

The common thread throughout, however, is food. Bourdain, a renowned chef himself, really delves into some interesting dishes prepared by local chefs, making each experience completely unique unto itself. The program weaves commentary and conversation into an art form. I always enjoy a cold beer while watching this show, and\u00a0I think you will, too. \u00a0Check it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
