Year: 2006

  • Dan’s Dulcimer and Dancing


    Last night at the Tivoli Theatre here in Chattanooga, Dan Landrum was rehearsing for the 2006 Singing Christmas Tree. Here’s one of his original songs, accompanied by ballet dancers, that I videotaped for him:

  • John Carty (short excerpt)


    Last night I went to a concert at Charles & Myrtle’s Coffeehouse (McBrien Road in Chattanooga) featuring Irish musician John Carty. Good show! Some fiddling, some banjoing, accompanied by guitar. Here’s a brief glimpse:

  • The Sewing Machine


    What with Halloween quickly approaching, I’ve uploaded another Steve Poltz song from his Barking Legs concert. This one is named “Sewing Machine,” and it’ll keep you in stitches. Well, I won’t leave you hanging by a thread; here’s the link:

  • Steve Poltz has Barking Legs


    Last night I caught Steve Poltz in concert at the Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga. Great show! Here’s a sample of the fun, YouTube-style:

  • Day #13,880


    Well, I made it to Day #13,880! Thanks to everyone who helped me reach that milestone. I put together a little video (one of my first forays into the world of high definition) of a related get-together; you can find it here or click on the thumbnail picture. Here’s looking forward to 13,881! Or, dare…

  • IKEA, IKEA!


    I recently visited the IKEA store in Atlanta; wow, what an experience that was. A little mind-boggling at the selection, a little overwhelming due to the odd mazes you travel through… All in all, an intriguing place, and the prices are relatively low, too. I got all the assorted pieces for building a set of…

  • Red Bank Jubilee & Foster Falls


    This weekend was two days of Adventure. First, the annual Red Bank Jubilee and its accompanying parade on Saturday, and then hiking and camping at Foster Falls with Carl and Jim. Great fun! Click on the thumbnail for pictures.

  • Some Light Exercises at UTC


    I had a great time today talking with the students in Elizabeth Gailey’s class on “Making a Documentary” at UT-Chattanooga. The main focus was “Lighting on a Shoe-String Budget.” I’ll share some of the tips later.

  • Tempus Fugit


    I have compressed the entire SPIRAL FUGUE documentary to QuickTime and uploaded it here on my website for your enjoyment and education. I enjoyed the process of making this piece as well as the product that is the result, and I appreciate the cooperation of the featured musicians.

  • Circular Reasoning


    The bloggers mentioned in the story, who presumably are able to articulate their own opinions, received Wal*Mart email and began to simply copy the PR text into the blogs. Wait, I don’t understand. This is news? I thought it was common knowledge that a large portion of bloggers (the majority?) simply copy text from elsewhere…

  • Pancake Day 2006


    Happy Pancake Day! Well, last Tuesday, anyway. I helped celebrate this English tradition once again at the home of Ken & Carla Pritchard. Click on the thumbnail for the gallery of pictures. Also, I’ve compressed and uploaded the music documentary I put together way back in 2000. Enjoy! However, keep in mind that it is…

  • Website note


    A quick metapost: I’ve begun refurbishing the links on the left (Audio/Movies/Biography) with some success, and more to come. Also, in my renovation frenzy I “broke” the Archives of blog entries, but it seems to be fixed now. And yes, I’ve enabled commenting. So far, so good. [Note that this applies to the website circa…

  • On Being Self-Referential


    I’ve recently realized that my personal blog (which would be this here blog that you’re reading right now) has fallen down in Google searches for my name. Well, naturally I tend to refer to myself in first person, and therefore I’ve been neglecting to explicitly state that Philip Luckey is saying this or Philip Luckey…

  • Current Linking Favorites


    I can’t help but find people to be fascinating. It’s that rascally human side of me, I reckon. So, naturally, I have a wonderful time getting brief glimpses into other lives and situations, thanks to the ever-so-prevalent world of blogs. A couple more that have recently caught my eye (in addition to the fun Waiter’s…

  • Random Composition


    Today, while playing around with my guitar and djembe drum (along with GarageBand, Final Cut Pro, and my little camcorder), I put this together. Sure, I’m no professional musician like Dan Landrum, but I do enjoys the musics.

  • MacWorld coverage published in the Pulse


    My article about the Macworld Expo has been published in the Chattanooga Pulse. Welcome to any readers that may have wandered here from there! [Link broken. I’ll try to find an archive!]

  • SF 2006: The Last Days


    San Francisco 2006: The Last Days On Thursday, I returned to Macworld Expo and went from one side allll the way over to the other side of the Exhibit Hall. That night King and I went to the 1906 Earthquake Slide Show (there was a flyer in an earlier photo) at the local library branch.…

  • Macworld Expo 2006


    The 2006 Macworld Expo has kicked off with a bang! In Steve Jobs’ opening Keynote address, he presented the new Intel-based iMac, and the PowerBook-replacement: Intel-based MacBook Pro. Also, new iLife 2006. I’ll be heading down to the Exhibit Halls at Moscone Center in a few minutes to check out the cool new stuff.
