This blog is my entry for Dave over at A Sound Day's "Turntable Talk." Kudo's to Dave for picking some fantastic topics, and at the same time letting us participants "run" with it. The following are the instructions we were given: We were told we " ...don't have to write literally about the question, but … Continue reading Turntable Talk – Did Video Kill The Radio Star?

“Mama’s Got a Squeezebox…”
It wasn't until I was working at B-95 that I discovered National Accordion Awareness Month. My buddy Tim and I would get together quite often and think of bits we could write and produce to play during our radio shows. We came up with some really funny stuff. It was mid-May and we were writing … Continue reading “Mama’s Got a Squeezebox…”
It’s National Kazoo Day!!
Every year on January 28th, the country celebrates National Kazoo Day! What kid didn't have a kazoo growing up? I know I had quite a few. Why are kazoos so fun? It's the musical instrument for those who can't "play" a musical instrument! All you need to be able to do is hum, and you … Continue reading It’s National Kazoo Day!!
A Holiday Dozen
I mentioned to my friend Max that I had hoped to post a Christmas song every day from December 1st through Christmas Day. When it comes to holiday tunes, I could probably post a favorite Christmas song for every day of the year ... At any rate, rather than spend the time to do that, … Continue reading A Holiday Dozen
Tune Tuesday: That’s a Rap … A Funny Rap
I hadn't planned on a Tune Tuesday Blog, however, I stumbled on an article online that was about Comedy Rap songs. Back in March of this year, I did a quick blurb about white rappers before Eminem. Some of these will be repeats, as they would fall into the "comedy" rap category. Here are some … Continue reading Tune Tuesday: That’s a Rap … A Funny Rap
Me: From A to Z
By far not the most original blog idea, but this stems from a daily writing prompt. What is cool about something like this, is that I can probably return to this idea a few times and come up with some different answers. The idea is to take all 26 letters of the alphabet and describe … Continue reading Me: From A to Z
Three Birthday Tributes
Today I would like to salute three of my closest friends. I guess, in a way, I am taking the easy way out by including all three of them in one blog. I am doing it this way because they all celebrate birthdays this month. So here are some thoughts on three great guys. Joe … Continue reading Three Birthday Tributes
Favorite Films – The 80’s
This blog is a continuation of a series I started earlier this week. Somebody had the idea to post a list was to consist of your favorite films from each year of your life. So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from each year. … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 80’s
Mad About Mad!
I had a paper route as a kid. It was nice because I had an income (not much, but a lot for a kid). With the money I earned, I would run up to the record store and buy records or tapes or maybe I'd go to Circus World and buy some new toy I … Continue reading Mad About Mad!
Reflections on “Blog Year One”
One of my Facebook friends noted on his page that this weeks marks the 100th birthday of comedian Red Buttons. Red was known for his "never got a dinner" and "I was there" bits which he did frequently at celebrity roasts. I remembered that last year, on his birthday, I blogged about Red and included … Continue reading Reflections on “Blog Year One”
