Music Monday: A Tribute to Songs About Caroline (with no link to a video of Sweet Caroline!)

I was reading one of my favorite blogs earlier today - Nashville Noise - and there was a story about singer-songwriter Will Payne Harrison. According to a previous story about Harrison in Nashville Noise, he’s "got a diverse musical background that includes traditional cajun music, Louisiana blues, New Orleans brass bands, “swamp pop” and Zydeco. … Continue reading Music Monday: A Tribute to Songs About Caroline (with no link to a video of Sweet Caroline!) →

What’s Wrong With My Fingers?

Becuase. jsut. ot. estiatme. The above typos are examples of how the timing of my typing is off ever so slightly. And I did not pick those words at random. I would guess that I type the words becuase because and jsut  just incorrectly 95% of the time. In fact, while I was just typing … Continue reading What’s Wrong With My Fingers? →

Music Monday: Sarah Blackwood of W.O.T.E. with a Beautiful Lullaby

I started off earlier today thinking I would write about what songs were number one in other parts of the world; hoping that along the way I'd discover a new artist I might like. Unfortunately, I checked a few of the music charts from a select group of countries, and many of the songs on … Continue reading Music Monday: Sarah Blackwood of W.O.T.E. with a Beautiful Lullaby →

Music Monday: Was I the Only Teenager Who Liked this Band?

It's a fairly clear memory from high school. Someone asked who my favorite singer/band was, and I made the mistake of telling the truth. Let's just say that for the next few days, many people were questioning my taste in music. But I couldn't have been the only one that liked this group. They were … Continue reading Music Monday: Was I the Only Teenager Who Liked this Band? →

Sunday Is Fun Word Day: Flibbertigibbet!

I always just assumed it was a made-up word -"flibbertigibbet", sort of like 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pu1adxqUAg But I came across flibbertigibbet twice today and given the source of where I came across it the second time, it made me think that it might be a real word. And that is not the only coincidence I want … Continue reading Sunday Is Fun Word Day: Flibbertigibbet! →

Music Monday: Some Old Time Rock and Roll, Thanks to Bob Seger

I've mentioned Bob Seger quite often over the past five years. In fact, I just did a search of my blog, and I found nine posts where his name and music is mentioned, the most recent being a few weeks ago in a post about the movie Urban Cowboy. Despite all of these mentions, I … Continue reading Music Monday: Some Old Time Rock and Roll, Thanks to Bob Seger →

Music Monday: Three Dog Night

They were a staple of my youth, with so many great songs. I have vague recollections from my 8th-grade graduation of our entire class (all 17 of us), singing Joy to the World, and thinking that life didn't get any better than this. But as I started reading about Three Dog Night as part of … Continue reading Music Monday: Three Dog Night →

Music Monday: Meat Loaf Mania

I’m guessing most people reading this are familiar with the smash hit from Meat Loaf in 1977, Paradise by the Dashboard Light. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is one of the longest songs to be released uncut on one side of a 45 RPM record. The only difference between the single (45 RPM) and album … Continue reading Music Monday: Meat Loaf Mania →

Music Monday: Revisiting WOTE (Walk Off The Earth)

One of the favorite bands I discovered as part of my Music Monday series is Canadian band Walk Off The Earth, often just referred to as WOTE. I first wrote about them back in September of last year: Music Monday – The Quirky, Creative, and Wonderful Music of Walk Off The Earth, and since I liked … Continue reading Music Monday: Revisiting WOTE (Walk Off The Earth) →
