I had a paper route as a kid. It was nice because I had an income (not much, but a lot for a kid). With the money I earned, I would run up to the record store and buy records or tapes or maybe I'd go to Circus World and buy some new toy I … Continue reading Mad About Mad!
Tune Tuesday – More Today Than Yesterday
Tune Tuesday takes us back 50 years to 1969. It is a "One Hit Wonder" from the California band, The Spiral Starecase. The group was formed for an Air Force Talent contest. Originally, the group was called the Fydallions. When they signed with the Columbia record label, they were told to change their name. They … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – More Today Than Yesterday
A Memorable and Unique Gift
When I started writing my blog, I knew it would be a variety of personal stories, thoughts on music and movies, and blogs about whatever happened to be on my mind. I wondered if I'd actually be able to write new material often enough to even keep a blog. So, I signed up for "daily … Continue reading A Memorable and Unique Gift
Expanding on an earlier Facebook post.
I am on vacation. I have the next week off and will have my sons all week. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have them over. I am hoping that the weather will cooperate and we'll get to do some fun things this week. This vacation could not have come … Continue reading Expanding on an earlier Facebook post.
Summer Memory – The Good Humor Man
As I was walking to my car to leave for work today, an ice cream truck was driving down my street. I found it odd that it was not playing music. Usually, you can hear the sounds of "Little Brown Jug", "Turkey in the Straw", "Pop! Goes the Weasel", or "The Entertainer" (among others) when … Continue reading Summer Memory – The Good Humor Man
Tune Tuesday – Muppet Music
40 years ago this week, The Muppet Movie hit theaters. My brother and I always made it a point to watch the Muppet Show on TV. It was always fun to see the famous guest stars interact with Kermit and the gang. If I am being honest, I am still upset that the final 2 … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Muppet Music
Recurring Dreams
As someone who works as a sleep technologist, I am often asked about dreams. Why do we dream? Can dreams really tell the future? What do dreams mean? The list of questions I get asked about dreams is a long one. There are many schools of thought about dreams. Take a psychology class and just … Continue reading Recurring Dreams
Tune(s) Tuesday – “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” and “Then They Do”
Let me preface this blog by saying I had an absolutely amazing Father's Day Weekend! Friday, I spoke with someone about some future possibilities (a future blog), Saturday I got the best unexpected surprise (which is another future blog), and Sunday, I spent time with my sons. Past Father's Day's we have gone to ball … Continue reading Tune(s) Tuesday – “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” and “Then They Do”
Father’s Day Reflections -2019
As Father's Day approached, I found a few minutes to reflect. In a world where you hear constantly about "deadbeat dads", I am lucky enough to have a dad who played a HUGE part in my life in SO many ways. I have blogged about his musical influences on me (Which you can read here: … Continue reading Father’s Day Reflections -2019
“Center Sqaure” = Funny!
Born today in 1926 - the very funny Paul Lynde. In his honor, enjoy some of his great lines from the Hollywood Squares: Peter Marshall: If the right part comes along, will George C. Scott do a nude scene? Paul Lynde: You mean he doesn't have the right part? Peter Marshall: Will a goose help … Continue reading “Center Sqaure” = Funny!
