Tune Tuesday – Delbert McClinton

Happy 85th Birthday to Delbert McClinton! Delbert first hit the stage in 1957 and toured continuously until his last tour in 2018. He is a multi talented musician who can play guitar, harmonica and piano. For me, it's hard to put him into one genre of music. He's probably best known for rock, blues, and … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Delbert McClinton →

Movie Music Monday – Play Misty For Me

When I got into radio, I asked one of the DJ's if he had any advice for me. "Don't get involved with a listener!" was his reply.

Halloween Repost

I know that this may step on the toes of Dave over at A Sound Day as his feature Turntable Talk this month will feature write ups about "Spooky Hits."

Life’s Little Moments

We had Parent-Teacher conferences last week. We are thrilled that both kids are doing well. We found out things that Andrew was doing in school that we didn't know he could do. We both felt kind of bad when we were done. "Gee, how dumb did we look when she said he could spell his … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →
