Tune Tuesday – Vieni Su

Last Friday marked the 102nd birthday of my all time favorite singer, Dean Martin. I wrote a birthday blog for him last year, and this year, I had hoped to post my Top 10 Dean songs. As stated in my previous blog, I didn't get to do that because I was busy prepping my speech … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Vieni Su →

Four Things You Can’t Recover …

My last blog was 7 days ago. I had hoped to write for Tune Tuesday, I wanted to write a birthday blog for my wife, do a Top 10 song list for Dean Martin's birthday and post a couple blogs as well, but I am a procrastinator. I was asked to speak at the annual … Continue reading Four Things You Can’t Recover … →

Apple Anger!

I have had my iPod Classic for about 17 years. The original computer I used to synch it with iTunes is long dead. I haven't added any music to it in some time because I had synched it to too many computers (now all dead) over the years. Recently, I had my first issue ... … Continue reading Apple Anger! →

The Comics

While prepping for my weekend shift on the radio, I was going through some old prep to see if there was anything that I could recycle or update. In that prep was a line about a paperboy delivering papers. At first I laughed, because, are there even paperboys anymore?! Second, does anyone read the paper … Continue reading The Comics →

This song hit #1 about 14 weeks after he died in a plane crash in 1973. He wrote this song on the night … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Time in a Bottle →

Only 55%?!

While prepping for my radio show this afternoon, I stumbled on something that just sickened me! According to a new survey, only 55% of Americans know the real meaning of Memorial Day. Just over half? This just angers me to no end! HOW do people NOT know what it really means? It's IN the … Continue reading Only 55%?! →

Just my opinion…

Last night on ABC, Norman Lear and Jimmy Kimmel presented a live broadcast of two original scripts from All In Family and The Jeffersons. I was working, so I only got to see bits and pieces of the show. I will give credit where it is due, however: First, it was an all star cast, … Continue reading Just my opinion… →

25 Things

One of the daily writing prompts I read today asked to list 25 Things I'll Never Do. I grabbed a piece of paper and thought, "This will be easy." It was a bit harder than I thought. I jotted them down one by one and stopped at 25. I didn't go any further. I am … Continue reading 25 Things →

Tune Tuesday – True Love

Today's tune is another one that you have probably never heard before. It's from a 1991 album that the critics gave poor reviews. That's the thing about music - we each have our own tastes and not everyone is going to agree on what's "good" or "bad". I happen to really like this album, and … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – True Love →
