I know… I haven't been blogging much lately… I could blame it on work and rehearsals because I did a show this summer. I may have shared before, but I find that I don't write as much when I have another emotional and artistic outlet… like a production. I was in a play this summer andContinue reading “The Greatest”

It's been a year… Life has gone on… Differently… but it has gone on.  I have a granddaughter now. She'll never know her Papa, but she'll hear the stories. She'll hear of the man that brought his family to a new place, a new life. She'll hear of the man who liked to laugh andContinue reading “West Texas”

A truly special young lady was born on this day sixteen years ago. It was the same year that Coldplay's first album, Parachutes, came out with it's breakthrough single, Yellow. I love this young lady. I also love Coldplay and I find it especially… felicitous that they essentially… came to be in the same year. HappyContinue reading “Yellow”

Sting has a new album coming out November 11. This is the first single release. I ♥ Sting…    

A friend of mine told me about Sharon Jones. Found this video of Etta James' classic song, performed by the Tedeschi Trucks Band that featured Sharon Jones, so Win-Win-Win! Will be sharing more of her.

In light of the mess we find ourselves in, politically, this Tiny Desk Concert seems appropriate…     

Heard this song on the radio a couple of nights ago. Shazamed it to find out who the artist was. New to me, but it seems they've been around a while. Just now getting around to posting the song. The sound is described as synthpop. Fascinating.    

A GREAT Tiny Desk Concert featuring Los Hacheros.  Quick, before they close the borders and we all get kicked out, give a listen… Bet you'll be dancing by the end!
