About

Jolly Bongo is about the music I listen to.

I used to be a classic rocker—I thought the only music that mattered was made between 1966 and 1973. Then I discovered "alternative" music and became a complete music snob—the only music that mattered was music you never heard.

After too many discoveries of other only-music-that-mattered, I lightened up a bit.

This site is about whatever music is making me happy at the moment. Hip-hop or classical or (increasingly) people singing in any language but English, check it out. You might stumble on something you dig, too.

Colophon: This site is built on a Drupal CMS platform and uses a lightly customized version of Acquia Slate as a design theme. Can you identify the two album covers referenced in the homepage graphic? One is obvious, the other famous. Both are influences. Drop me a line if you know it & I'll send you something.
