Halloween Repost

I know that this may step on the toes of Dave over at A Sound Day as his feature Turntable Talk this month will feature write ups about "Spooky Hits." What follows is a piece I wrote about DJing Halloween Parties and the "must have" songs. It shouldn't ruin Dave's feature much, as all I … Continue reading Halloween Repost →

Turntable Talk #38 – It’s About Time

Dave just wrapped up another chapter of Turntable Talk. This was my contribution: It is time once again for Turntable Talk hosted by Dave at A Sound Day. For over three years now, he has offered up a musical topic each month for me (and other participants) to write about. This month's topic is "It's … Continue reading Turntable Talk #38 – It’s About Time →

The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1990’s

I noticed that I accidentally scheduled this to post at 8pm instead of 8am. Sorry I am late. 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 … Continue reading The Music of My Life – Decade Extras – The 1990’s →

The Music of My Life – 1974

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1974 →

The Music of My Life – 1970

As I celebrate birthday 54, I am borrowing (ok, stealing) an idea from another blogger. I have altered the idea a bit, and may decide to change it up after a few posts ... I am calling the feature "The Music of My Life." I plan on starting with the year I was born and … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1970 →

Haunted Hits

I have DJ'd countless Halloween parties. This year I had to turn down one of my favorite ones. For the past few years a local daycare throws a big party and kids and their parents dress up in costumes and it is always a blast. Due to my current work schedule, I was just not … Continue reading Haunted Hits →

Your Birthday #1

I have always enjoyed looking back at things from the past. When I worked at Honey Radio, I produced the Top 12 and 12 every weekday. We'd always have plenty of information about dates in history. No matter what year we were focusing on, we'd talk about how much a new vehicle cost or the … Continue reading Your Birthday #1 →

“Made in 1938”

  Introduction Since I started blogging about a year ago, I have stumbled on some great blogs that focus on old movies, film noir, music, books, and various other things that I find interesting.  Some of these blog sites have hosted Blogathons, and I have participated in a few of them.  A while back, the "Pop … Continue reading “Made in 1938” →
