I may have said it before, but I’ve no problem saying it again and again.  I have loved the Lord of the Ring trilogy from the first time I read the books as a young adult.  I’ve read them repeatedly over the years, each time, learning more about this wondrous world that JRR Tolkien created. Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 240-Aniron”

Needed a change.  Think I found it.  I so love exploring international music. You know you wanna dance…  

Going back to fill in some blanks with something new.  Nickel Creek recently performed for NPR's Bob Boilen at one of his Tiny Desk Concerts.  I may have shared one of the songs already this year, but I'll make the exception for this lovely live performance of that song and three others.  They're just amazingContinue reading “365 Day Project-Days 223 to 226-Nickel Creek Tiny Desk Concert”

Eminem and… Sia?  Wha…?  Two of my favorite artists have teamed up for an amazing song.  Seriously, it's awesome!  So excited to share this new single in anticipation of a new album to be released in November.  Get past the language and listen to the words.  His rhythms and lyrics… Powerful.    

Billy Crystal paid tribute to the late Robin Williams tonight at the Emmys.  His tribute is included below.  I watched it and felt my heart breaking again as Billy shared memories of that funny, funny man.  I also cried at the ending.  It still hurts to think that someone who brought us so much joyContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 237-Over the Rainbow”

Went to my nephew’s house for his birthday today.  The house was filled with friends and family.  There was food and drink and talk and laughter and more food and drink and laughter.  It was fun.  Heard this song on the way there and thought it just right for today’s post.  I found an articleContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 235-Life Is Better With You”

Friday night… time to wind down… Sylvan Esso it is.  

After the Kongos yesterday, thought I’d tone things down a little…  Have loved listening to this song for a while.  Love the cello accompaniment.  It soothes.  

Went to see Expendables 3 this past weekend.  It was entertaining…  Heard this song during the movie and then again, just today on the ice bucket challenge of Paul Bissonette.  After watching that video, I realized I needed to share this song.  The rhythm gets your attention.
