Yes, I’m also caught up in the fascination with Lorde, but she’s good.  Have been listening to her album Pure Heroine and find it every bit as good as they say.  You can catch Jian Ghomeshi at the end talking briefly about her music when she preformed in Studio Q last year.  

Now that I've cut the cord with my cable company, I'm finding time to work on things here at home and organize for the new year.  Not that I didn't take time to catch this week's episode of Downton Abbey…  But I was able to watch it on my terms; e.g, I watched it whileContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 6-The Kiss”

We sang this at church today.  What an amazing mystery, that Your Grace has come to me.  What an amazing love I see, that Your Grace has come to me.    Selah.  

Ok, I now have Roku.  How to describe Roku to those who do not know…  It helps me eliminate my cable bill while still enjoying all the shows I watch on cable and then some.  You need to check it out if you’re tired of watching your cable bill going up.  It was easy toContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 4-Say Something”

Phil Everly passed away today.  I remember, as a child, listening to him and his brother singing harmonies.  They were so cute, but even more their singing made me want to learn harmonies.  This video is of them performing in June 1957.  I wasn’t even a year old then, but I grew up to theirContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 3-Bye Bye Love”

I wrote about Bastille during my last project (October 24th for those interested…).  They’d just released their album, “Bad Blood.” and I loved the song, “Flaws.”  It could be the cough medicine I’m taking… it could be time of year, the bleak midwinter… but I’m in a general state of oblivion… yeah, I’m gonna goContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 2-Oblivion”

It’s a new year and I’m posting a song a day again.  There may be commentary to go with each song and there may not, depending on the day and the mood and, in some cases, the time.  Interestingly, I’ve found myself NOT listening to music on the radio as much this past year.  WhileContinue reading “Happy New Year–365 Day Project – Day 1–Monster”

Check out my year in review on Facebook.  Not a bad summary of the year’s activities… Since my marathon in June 2012, I’ve finished 10 half-marathons and been in 5 productions; a busy year for me.  But now I’m looking forward to the new year, quietly, anticipating the birth of my third grandson.  God hasContinue reading “Another look back”

Yes, I know… the season has already begun, but seriously, I’ve been a late-comer to so many things in life… why bother changing now…?  Don’t answer that. At any rate, I’m done with my most recent show and finally have some time to think… for myself and on my own… I'm planning to start up myContinue reading “Advent”

Seems everyone I’ve talked with lately has lost someone.  Two people I know lost brothers. One of them lost a father as well.  Someone else lost an uncle; another a father.  Another friend is losing a husband.  It has been a hard season.  As I’ve thought about all this loss I was reminded of aContinue reading “Somewhere down the road…”
