May Day!

Happy May Day all!

I thought I'd give a quick Der Bingle update.  On March 31, I was booted down the road to retirement by my company (a large company that in 2022 acquired the small company I'd worked for since 1986).  So, Der Bingle is semi/mostly retired, definitely post-career.  I'm hoping to find a part-time job at a local non-profit or arts-related organization - something where the work is meaningful and the people are great.  

So, anyway, retirement - yay!

What does that mean for Merry & Bright?  Hopefully more and better content for the 2026 season, since I'll have more time to pull everything together.  But we'll see.  I have a couple artists in mind I'd like to interview, and I'm sure there will be more pop up on the Q&A radar.

What would you all like to see?  Sharing is getting tougher in my home market.  Thrifts have few records anymore, as used vinyl is a hot commodity.  Record stores charge a lot more, and the supply here just isn't great.  So, if you have suggestions, send me a message.

Take care everyone!
