Movie Music Monday – Batman
It was on this day in 1989 that Michael Keaton hit the big screen as Batman. Jack Nicholson was chosen to play the Joker. Growing up, my only knowledge of Batman was from cartoons and the 1966 series. When the previews came out for this, I was very apprehensive. It was darker than any previous … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Batman
Tune Tuesday – Neal Hefti
The amazing Neal Hefti was born today in 1922. Neal may not be a name that you recognize, but I bet that you recognize at least one of the songs that he has composed. He was a jazz trumpet player, arranger, and composer. He began arranging songs in his teens and went on to arrange … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Neal Hefti
Movie Music Monday – Spiderman 2
Superheroes were big when I was growing up. I watched the Batman 1966 TV show, on Saturday morning my brother and I would watch the Superfriends cartoon, and on the Electric Company, there used to be a segment with a live action Spiderman. Hollywood is forever recycling ideas and it is no surprise that Superhero … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Spiderman 2
Tonie Talk & Play
A couple years ago, the kids got a Tonie Box. If you look at the picture above, you can see the character sits on top of it and it plays a story or music.

Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes
I'm adapting this post from a few years ago because of a couple recent articles on MSN about TV theme songs. I clicked on one about the Top 30 best TV Theme songs, and that lead to MSN offering up many other "TV theme song" articles and lists, naturally. At any rate, back when this … Continue reading Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes

My brother and I would wake up on Saturday mornings and watch The Superfriends! Batman and Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman were always there. Sometimes the … Continue reading Celebrating Some Supers
A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
Time To Play
I know very few adults who wake up and jump out of bed with a ton of energy. Personally, I get up and need a cup of coffee in order to get the day going. My daughter, however, always seems to be up and ready for the day as soon as she gets out of … Continue reading Time To Play
Hot Or Cold
There was a Katy Perry song that I used to play when I was doing radio part time called Hot N Cold. I often wonder if she spent time at my workplace and found the inspiration for that song here! It's insane! Our tech room is a rectangle. At both ends of the tech room … Continue reading Hot Or Cold
