I hadn't planned on a Tune Tuesday Blog, however, I stumbled on an article online that was about Comedy Rap songs. Back in March of this year, I did a quick blurb about white rappers before Eminem. Some of these will be repeats, as they would fall into the "comedy" rap category. Here are some … Continue reading Tune Tuesday: That’s a Rap … A Funny Rap

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.

As Political As I Will Get
Angry! I try to stay away from politics. It is one of those things I don't like to talk about - even more so today with the atmosphere in the world. So, here is just a few quick things that fall into the "political" realm I wanted to write about. Text Messages It's bad enough … Continue reading As Political As I Will Get
“I Hate These Damn Stickers”
My wife reminded me of a funny story this afternoon before work. A few days ago, she told me that she ordered a playhouse toy for Ella. As she gets older, she is getting bored with just chewing on the toys she has. So we decided to get her something that might keep her a … Continue reading “I Hate These Damn Stickers”
National Poetry Day
I missed National Poetry Day. I guess it was October 1st this year. When I was a kid, I used to write poems all the time. Topics ranged from my grandma's food, my grandpa buying lottery tickets, why I loved baseball, etc... I was far from a talented poet. I would never have been able … Continue reading National Poetry Day
That’s a Big 10-4
Jackie Gleason as Buford T. Justice Sunday was October 4th. It was 10-4 day. I was tagged by about 10 friends in pictures from Smokey and the Bandit on Sunday. Those pictures featured Jerry Reed and Burt Reynolds. I figured I should find a good picture of Sheriff Buford T. Justice with his CB, hence … Continue reading That’s a Big 10-4
Blog # 300!!
Another Milestone Well, here it is - my 300th blog post. To be completely honest, I have a few more than 300, but some were kept private. So this is my 300th "published" blog. Over the past few blogs, I knew this milestone blog was coming, and wondered just how a blogger celebrates this kind … Continue reading Blog # 300!!
Catch!
Here's the pitch .... Bad news - you can get it anywhere. Open up your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and you'll find it in abundance. Surf to any local or national news website and it is there. Turn on the TV or radio and they are focusing on the negative things going on, or offering … Continue reading Catch!
Elementary, My Dear Reader
I believe I have blogged in the past about Sherlock Holmes. I guess it is interesting that while I have never read a Sherlock Holmes book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have read books loosely based on the character. There was a series out not too long ago called The Baker Street Mysteries, that … Continue reading Elementary, My Dear Reader
One Hit Wonder Day
Yesterday (9/25) was National One Hit Wonder Day. A One Hit Wonder is a song that would be considered the only hit song for an artist. In surfing through Sirius XM while driving, almost all of the "Decade" channels were playing one hit wonders yesterday. The book pictured above is filled with great stories about … Continue reading One Hit Wonder Day
Remember Fast 111’s?
It's amazing how two people can remember different things about the same event. My brother and I chatted on the phone tonight. Today marks the 39th anniversary of the passing of our grandfather. In talking about this, my brother and I both (1) remembered that we had been at my grandma's house the night before … Continue reading Remember Fast 111’s?
