Movie Music Monday – Groundhog Day
I'm sure that it is pure coincidence, but you know I had to take advantage of the fact that Movie Music Monday falls on Groundhog Day. I bet you I don't even have to tell you what song is featured today, because it has kind of become a Groundhog Day tradition. I don't know very … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Groundhog Day
Tune Tuesday – Folsom Prison Blues
In 1955, Johnny Cash released the hit "Folsom Prison Blues." Shortly after that, he became interested in recording a performance at a prison. The idea was always on his mind, but it wasn't until some changes in personnel at his record label that the idea came to fruition. It was on this day in 1968 … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Folsom Prison Blues

The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1990’s
I noticed that I accidentally scheduled this to post at 8pm instead of 8am. Sorry I am late. 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 … Continue reading The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1990’s

Tune Tuesday – Queen & ELO
I have to admit that I almost picked a Ringo Starr song today, because of his birthday this week. I didn't because I really couldn't decided whether to pick a solo song or some of his Beatles stuff. I am guessing that's a future blog - I'll add it to my "blog topics" list. Instead, the … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Queen & ELO
