I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

A Letter to My Daughter
It is my hope that one day, my children will read over these blogs and learn a little more about their dad. This blog, in a sense, is a sort of "autobiography" with some musical, and entertainment memories sprinkled in. A year after my mom passed away, we found letters that she had written to … Continue reading A Letter to My Daughter

It Won’t Be Long
Tunes from Toons
I spent a lot of time in the car with my sons this past weekend. My oldest son asked me if I remembered some of the shows he used to watch as a kid. We began listing the shows he and his brother watched and had many laughs as we remembered specific episodes. This led … Continue reading Tunes from Toons
Books I Couldn’t Put Down
I love reading. I don't get as much time to do it as I'd like. I have a stack of books on my "to read" pile right now. I really need to stop going to the library because every time I do, I bring home three or four and the "to read" pile doesn't go … Continue reading Books I Couldn’t Put Down
Place your bets …
"Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser" - Mario Puzo This is the first year I didn't have any "squares" for the Super Bowl. I am sure I could have purchased some. Some friends on Facebook posted that they had some available, the issue was getting them the money (let alone the … Continue reading Place your bets …
Scammer/Spam “Heads up”
I received an email through the contact page from my blog today. It looked innocent enough: "It looks like you've misspelled the word "Blart" (I was talking about the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop) on your website. I thought you would like to know :). Silly mistakes can ruin your site's credibility. I've used a tool called … Continue reading Scammer/Spam “Heads up”
Build it … and they will play!
It's almost February, but we are still smack dab in the middle of a Michigan winter. The last snowfall we had left about 5-6 inches of what we used to call "good packing" snow as kids. This was the type of snow that was heavy and a little wet - perfect for making snowballs, snowmen, … Continue reading Build it … and they will play!
My First Job
Today's blog stems from a daily writing prompt - "What was your first job?". I'm surprised that I haven't written about this before. The more I think about it, the more I realize that my first job actually led to my radio career! Let me tell you how... Let's be honest, what 16 year old … Continue reading My First Job
