Hello all,

After years of not posting on my old website, I’ve started another. I’m hoping this one doesn’t meet the same fate. It’s the same basic idea – a wordpress website that I can use as a blog to post about my projects and collect some thoughts about music. I’ve greatly enjoyed the blogs of other musicians and have needed a stronger online presence and portfolio, so here it is. I expect to be posting thoughts on albums I listen to and concerts I attend, as well as entries for when I’m on tour with different groups. You can always check out my instagram or twitter (@snacks_turner) which I try to keep interesting with gig photos. The best way to keep track of my upcoming shows is my facebook page. Maybe I’ll start a mailing list, too. I’ll probably find some way to connect my DJ work to this website as well – you can hear me on KMHD (89.1 FM in Portland), Monday through Friday at 6-7 AM when I host Jazz at Sunrise, a mellow morning program of ballads and pretty recordings. Then I’m back from 10 to noon with the AM edition of The Bridge, which dips into all the genres KMHD plays – a backbone of straight ahead jazz classics, with bits of soul jazz, latin, funk, blues, and anything hip enough to share that fits the format. We stream online at http://kmhd.org.

Alright! Now I gotta print new business cards with this site on ’em… QR codes aren’t hot anymore, are they?
