My “Go to” Karaoke Song(s)

It has been some time since a "Daily Writing Prompt" moved me enough to use it as a blog idea. Today's though, was definitely one I could use. The Prompt? "What is your 'go to' karaoke song?" I have to admit, I have sung a lot of karaoke. I did this mainly when I was … Continue reading My “Go to” Karaoke Song(s) →

Happy 79th to Capitol Records

On this day in 1942, Johnny Mercer and Glenn Wallichs launched Capitol Records in the United States. Wallichs was the man who invented the art of record promotion by sending copies of new releases to disc jockeys. It wasn't until 13 years later, in 1955, that the now famous Capitol Records building was built. The … Continue reading Happy 79th to Capitol Records →

April is National Humor Month and I only recently discovered that Sirius XM had added a comedy channel that I really have enjoyed. The Comedy Classics channel can be found for a limited time on Channel 104.

Nice Lids!

I rarely post two blogs in one day, however, my last post made me think about something - hats. The reason for this is the first line of the song "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (Grab your coat and get your hat ....) I guess I have always appreciated a good hat. I … Continue reading Nice Lids! →

Square Dancing … in Gym Class?

Sandra Boynton writes some of the best children's books. They are perfect reads for Ella right now. They have great pictures, fun verses, and many of them are actually songs. I would say that they are just as fun for us to read as they are for Ella to listen to! This week, Sam was … Continue reading Square Dancing … in Gym Class? →

Well, well, well. Look who’s back…

This is my first blog since May 18th. I guess this is the longest I have gone between blogs and many have sent private messages wondering if I am doing okay. My good buddy, Max, sent an email asking about me and it took me a while to write him back. Knowing I work in … Continue reading Well, well, well. Look who’s back… →

The Little Things

Spring! I saw the above cartoon on Facebook and had to share it. Even though the "official" first day of Spring was in March, it is actually starting to feel like it here in Michigan. When people ask my what my favorite season is I usually say "autumn." Spring is a close second. Spring is … Continue reading The Little Things →

Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar

I wish I could speak Italian. I have always wanted to learn. I guess I always end up talking myself into believing that I can't learn it. The older I get, the less I can remember. I also tell myself that I probably don't have the time to learn it. Then, there is the cost … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar →
