"The Sunny Side of the Street" One of my favorite commercials on TV right now is the "Spring Into Action" commercial from Kohl's. There is something about the smile of the little girl as people "hop" by that tugs at the heart strings. It is a wonderful "feel good" commercial. If you haven't seen it … Continue reading Sunny Side of the Street

A Holiday Dozen
I mentioned to my friend Max that I had hoped to post a Christmas song every day from December 1st through Christmas Day. When it comes to holiday tunes, I could probably post a favorite Christmas song for every day of the year ... At any rate, rather than spend the time to do that, … Continue reading A Holiday Dozen
Son of a … Mitch!
Sirius XM Radio has a few holiday music channels. They each kind of fall into a category - Country Christmas, Uptempo Holiday favorites, etc... I often find myself listening to the channel they call Holiday Traditions. This channel focuses on songs and artists from the 1940's through the 1960's. I hear a lot of my … Continue reading Son of a … Mitch!
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…
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
A Golden Gift
Outside of a wedding ring, I don't know many men who wear a lot of jewelry (unless they are a rapper!). I know a few guys who wear a chain around their neck or maybe a bracelet. I don't wear much jewelry, and up until a year or so ago, I only wore a ring. … Continue reading A Golden Gift
Reflecting on 2019 …
As the year draws to a close, I have pondered about what I wanted to write about. Some of the blogs I follow have posted "Year End" Top Ten lists featuring their 10 most read blogs of the year. Others have written rants about the old year, and posted resolutions for the new year. Yet … Continue reading Reflecting on 2019 …

Winter Storm and Winter Songs
According to the calendar, it is still officially Autumn. There are still colored leaves on the trees here in Michigan. Many people haven't even started raking them yet. This, however, may be the shortest Autumn I can remember as we were hit today with quite the winter storm! I guess we broke the record today … Continue reading Winter Storm and Winter Songs
Back in Time?
All writers get writer's block. I am hardly a "writer", but sometimes stare at the blank page and wonder what to write about. Since I began blogging, I have stumbled on blogs written by others who share some of the same interests as me. I have followed blogs that feature movies, TV, music, nostalgia, positive … Continue reading Back in Time?
