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 Part 2

This is sort of a continuation of the Music of My Life feature. It focused on music from 1970-2025.

You never knew who committed the crime until the end of the episode.

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) →

The Big O

The Beatles and Elvis Presley (both legends in their own right) had stated on record that Roy was a major influence on their music. Roy's music was different - it had it's own style and a certain darkness … Continue reading The Big O →
