Happy Heavenly Birthday to Alvis Edgar Owens Jr. who was born on this day in 1929. You probably know him as "Buck." I was introduced to Buck when I saw him on Hee Haw with Roy Clark.

The Music of My Life – Decade Extra – The 1970’s (Part 2)
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 I just really like. I found that with the first three decades, there were songs that I didn't … Continue reading The Music of My Life – Decade Extra – The 1970’s (Part 2)
The Music of My Life – 2020-2025

Movie Music Monday – NUJV?
In 1965, The Beatles’ second feature film, Help! premiered at the London Pavilion Theatre in the West End of London.

The film’s soundtrack doubled … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – NUJV?

Welcome to May! Were you aware that May is International Drum Month? Cheers to the instrument that keeps the music in time.
