Today I want to wish Stevie Wonder a Happy 75th Birthday! He is a Michigan Hometown Hero as he was born in Saginaw, MI in 1950. When I went to pick a Stevie Wonder song to feature today, I was overwhelmed. He had so many hits to choose from. I suppose it shouldn't have been … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday
Movie Music Monday – Pulp Fiction
It was on this day in 1994 that Pulp Fiction premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Today's song is one that you will recognize immediately if you have seen the movie, but you probably had no idea what it was called. The song is Miserlou from Dick Dale and His Del-Tones. No one knows who … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Pulp Fiction
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
Mother's Day is one of celebration and sorrow for me. I celebrate my wife and her being the mother of Ella and Andrew. At the same time, I remember the woman who gave birth to me - my mom. She's been gone 19 years and yet there is still a hurt in my heart. I … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day to my amazing wife, Sam. The responsibilities and duties of motherhood are many and overwhelming at times. Despite that, she takes her role seriously. More often than not, she goes above and beyond as mom. I've said before that being a mom is a full time job in itself. Sam, essentially, has … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
Book Recommendation – The Ministry of Time
I waited a long time for The Ministry of Time to come out as an audiobook. On a recent trip to Barnes and Nobel, I found it and bought it. Shortly after I bought it and began to read it, the audiobook was released. I read the first 3/4 of it, and listened to the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Ministry of Time
Friday Photo Flashback
I found some more Moose pictures that made me laugh this week. I am not sure if this was for a charity event or if it was a St. Jude Fundraiser. Our staff was asked to play in a basketball game. They got us uniforms with the station logo on the front and each of … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
An Udder Disaster
This past Sunday was interesting. My wife had to work that night so she was asleep. The kids were playing in the living room, so I decided it was a good time to shower. I told the kids I would be jumping in the shower and I'd be out as quick as I can. Now, … Continue reading An Udder Disaster
The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1980’s
This is sort of a continuation of the Music of My Life feature. It focused on music from 1970-2025. It featured tunes that have special meaning to me, brought back a certain memory or a tune that I just really like. I found that with the first three decades, there were songs that I didn't … Continue reading The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1980’s
Tune Tuesday – Beautiful Loser
My home state has produced some of the most amazing artists and music of the past 75 years. As a Michigander (Michiganian?), I consider Bob Seger to be Rock and Roll Royalty. In all the years I listened to his music and played his music on the radio, I had never seen him in concert. … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Beautiful Loser
Movie Music Monday – Skyfall
The last James Bond movie I saw starred Timothy Dalton. I think it was The Living Daylights, I might be wrong. I've honestly never seen a Bond film with Daniel Craig as 007. That being said, the music today comes from his movie Skyfall. The reason? Adele was born on this day in 1988. Bond … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Skyfall
