Enjoy!

This parody of Jimmy Dean’s Big John was produced by the “Texans for John Cornyn”. touting the Senator’s campaign for re-election: HT:Hot Air

Rather enjoyable as campaign ads go I suppose, but even better is this video which is a tribute to a true “Big John.”

There are many, many children who cut their teeth, so to speak, on Sesame Street.
Heck, there are lots of adults I have known over the years who have gotten one of the catchy tunes performed by those crazy Muppets stuck in their head for days on end. Those who know me well [...]

Last evening CBS ran a special offered by the AFI which listed their selection of the top ten movies in ten categories.
As they covered “Courtroom Movies” I could think of many which might qualify, but this scene from the original version of Twelve Angry Men, one of the winners, stands out in my opinion [...]

Loved this movie and Aretha stole the show in this scene.
Just a little something to [hopefully] bring a smidgen of enjoyment to your day.

An official website dedicated to Frank and his music is now available here.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sinatra live just one time and there was not one moment of disappointment as his performance was tremendous.
Below is one of my personal favorites.
I hope you enjoy, “My Way.”

First Lady Laura Bush and her newlywed daughter Jenna Bush-Hager were guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday night.

Growing up there was always a lot of country music and Sinatra in our house. Eddy Arnold was one of my folks favorite entertainers and through that “music education” he also became one of mine.
Mr. Arnold passed away today at the age of almost 90 but not before he brought much joy to those [...]

What a superb job HBO has done in both casting and producing “John Adams.”
Watching the first two episodes was akin to traveling back in time to join with those who forged the independence of this country.
Having visited Independence Hall and the surrounding historic area of Philadelphia many times, it was easy to [...]

The smooth country voice of George Jones and photography blended together to provide that escape we all need once in a while.

Give a listen to President Bush perform his own rendition of the “Green, Green, Grass of Home.”
I only wish we could see him clearly (more than that I would have loved to have been there.)
Sure to make you laugh (or at least smile) regardless of your political preference.
Enjoy!

It’s fun, entertaining and adds a bit of history all at once.

Talk about a master of his craft. Check out Chris Bliss.

This weeks choice to showcase the arts is no other than Gene Kelly.
He had an effortless mastery of the art of dance which will be showcased for generations to come.

When you discover a form of art which has its own natural beauty, it has the ability to mesmerize and sometimes astound you.
Here is a bit of background on the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe.
In the 15 days after Spring Festival, Tai Lihua, a dancer with the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe, accepted [...]

Finding art in practically all forms interesting, I’ve now added this mans talents to my list.
I hope you enjoy Raymond Crowe in this exhibition of Hand Shadow Art.

In honor of what would have been his 92nd Birthday, I chose this Christmas piece by Frank Sinatra for your listening pleasure.

Wow, Little Richard is 75 years old today.
Courtesy of our kids, we had the opportunity to see him live last year and at 74, he gave an energetic, full performance. What a treat that was.
Here’s a little something I had never heard him perform. Hope you enjoy!

It’s been a while since “Bigfoot” has made an appearance but this video seems to provide “proof” that he/she is alive and well.
Park rangers believe the pictures are that of some sort of a skinny bear. I leave it to you to judge for yourself.

A little Tuesday morning fun!

Short, intricate and enjoyable. Have a great Saturday!

Few across the web can begin a post with the words, “at the end of the world only two things will survive, cockroaches and Cher,” and somehow incorporate politics, health, personal woes and entertainment successfully.
The Anchoress manages to do just that in her latest post with the flair which all of us who are faithful [...]

I was not going to post on the anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley (as so much has been written or said over the past thirty years), until I saw a post this morning at Powerline.
The piece affords lots of tidbits about the King of Rock and Roll but what intrigued me was [...]

President Bush has often been referred to as a “cowboy”. Well that’s okay with me, I love country music and the guys in the big brimmed hats. Apparently the folks at Old Blue Web Designs love them old cowboys too.
For your enjoyment..
“My heroes have always been cowboys.”

A huge decline!

NEW YORK (AP) - Maybe they’re outside in the garden. They could be playing softball. Or perhaps they’re just plain bored. In TV’s worst spring in recent memory, a startling number of Americans drifted away from television the past two months: More than [...]
