Movie Music Monday – 2001

I almost missed an opportunity. You see, us radio people are always looking for ways to tie things together. For example, if I was playing Blue Moon, it would be cool to follow it with Moon Over Georgia. Then I could follow that with Georgia On My Mind. Then I could follow that with Mind … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – 2001 →

Movie Music Monday – Buck Privates

It is no secret to those who know me that I love classic comedy. I have written about the Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, and Laurel and Hardy. While I have mentioned them separately at times, I am not sure I ever wrote about the team of Abbott and Costello. Growing up on Sunday mornings, … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Buck Privates →

Movie Music Monday – Animal House

I have a handful of movies that will always make me laugh. Animal House is one of them. I don't know of anyone who doesn't think of Animal House when they think of college fraternities. Granted, when I was in college, everyone was pretty subdued compared to the folks of Delta House. The movie features … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Animal House →

I have featured this film before, but for a different reason. The last time was the anniversary of Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo Choo becoming the first gold record. Today is for a much sadder anniversary. It was on this day in 1944 that Glenn Miller's plane disappeared somewhere over the English Channel. The incident remains … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – The Glenn Miller Story →

It was on this day in 1993 that Mrs. Doubtfire premiered in theaters. Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, and the late Robin Williams all starred in this funny, yet serious film.
