Friday Night Music-School Days

Friday, September 21, 2018

So, this is going up a bit early, because in a short while I’ll be hitting the road to attend the first of two events connected to my high school reunion ( HPHS!!!! SAY IT LOUDER! WE’RE THE BEST). I won’t say how long it’s been, but if you guessed that the first digit is […]

Friday Night Music: channeling Trump

Friday, September 7, 2018

This song has an odd history. This video is not, I’m sure, by the actual artist, whose name may be lost to history. When it first came out, sometime in my high school years, it shot to the top of the Big D Swinging 60 survey. It was getting plenty of air time until, all […]

This is Labor Day Weekend. I can’t claim to know the details of exactly how it became a holiday, but it’s always been my impression that it had something to do with…you know…labor. Working people. Unions. Nowadays, of course, no one cares about working people, except the ones who go to diners in the Midwest […]

This is the last night of our annual Vermont vacation. For the entire time we’ve been here, Vermont has been taunting us. The sun comes out for a while, and then it rains, and before you know it, the sun is back out. I was driving up the mountain on Route 100A up by Calvin […]

So, posting will be even more infrequent, as we just began our annual Vermont vacation. I don’t know if I ever posted anything by Rhiannon Giddens before, but she is well worth a return trip. I think she’s great, and I’m going to get the new album, from which this song is taken, as soon […]

Now for something completely different. This is going around, but I thought I’d pass it along for anyone who hasn’t already seen it. This guy is brilliant.

Here’s one from the one hit wonder vault. At least I think they only had this one hit.

So, this is a little different. I guess this is all over the tube, or maybe it is, but since I don’t have a television I have no way to be sure. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. Watch the whole thing. If you’re of a certain age, I think you’ll have a hard time not […]

Friday Night Music and More

This has been a banner day for fans of justice, in that Paul Manafort is where he belongs. I found it interesting that, from what I read, a number of experts in the field (I never practiced criminal law) felt it was unlikely that he’d be sent to jail. Personally, based on the allegations, I […]
