I was between books recently and the ones I was waiting for were still unavailable. So I searched for something quick to tide me over until my next read.

I decided to revisit one of the first topics I blogged about, as there are many new followers since 2018. As a kid, we … Continue reading Rocking At The Schoolhouse →

Tunes from Toons

I spent a lot of time in the car with my sons this past weekend.  My oldest son asked me if I remembered some of the shows he used to watch as a kid.  We began listing the shows he and his brother watched and had many laughs as we remembered specific episodes.  This led … Continue reading Tunes from Toons →

Favorite Films – The 2000’s

It's been a couple of weeks since I picked back up on this series of blogs, so I thought I had better.  A while ago, I saw a post that suggested you pick one favorite film from every year of your life.  So far, I have covered 3 decades.  Some years were easier than others.  … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2000’s →

Father’s Day Reflections -2019

As Father's Day approached, I found a few minutes to reflect.  In a world where you hear constantly about "deadbeat dads", I am lucky enough to have a dad who played a HUGE part in my life in SO many ways.  I have blogged about his musical influences on me (Which you can read here: … Continue reading Father’s Day Reflections -2019 →

Toon Tunes …

As I stated at the end of yesterday's blog - I could easily write an entire blog about Cartoon Theme songs.  Some readers messaged privately with suggestions, while others commented on Facebook.  So, I sat down and gathered some thoughts and have come up with a list of some of my favorites.  In doing so, … Continue reading Toon Tunes … →
