Friday, July 11th, 2008

Paul Simon performs the classic “Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover.”

Or should we say fifty-one?
A Russian woman in St Petersburg killed her drunk husband with a folding couch, Russian media reported on Wednesday.

Wednesday Music

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

What a terrific form of storytelling country music is today and has always been.
This recent Trace Adkins recording is no exception:

Enjoy!

This Political Junkie Has Crashed

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

The wall has been hit.
This he said, he said, they said, she said election cycle has taken its toll.
Later will be soon enough (for me) to have the desire to read one more word about either of the two men who are the leading contenders for the big chair. Heck, it seems [...]

Music Loses A True Gentleman

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

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 [...]

Just Precious!

Friday, April 25th, 2008

While the video quality may be a bit rough, (no doubt due to age), the message from Bill Gaither to his grandson is pricless in this performance of “We’ll Be There.”

Just Because

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

I was in the mood for something patriotic and not political.
The National Anthem was performed prior to a Superbowl by the combined Military Academy Choirs accompanied by the US Army Herald Trumpets.
I remember this performance as it was my home team participating in the game and thought it was worth sharing.

The Dixie Chicks and the Marine Corps Corporal

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Remember the controversy back in 2003 when Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks made the following statement?
Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.
It caused quite a furor, so much so [...]

Mid-Week Music

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Yikes, I knew them all, (and given a bit of time probably could remember all the words.)
How many can you name?
Enjoy!

When no news, is no news and more no new news

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

No Tuesday Tid-bits…no anything.
Just no news which hasn’t been hashed and re-hashed a million different ways over the past couple of weeks and at that, written far better than I would ever hope to pen.
This is not to say that I do not enjoy reading those who find what’s available at the moment appealing, [...]

New York Philharmonic in Pyong Yang, N. Korea

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Here’s a bit of what went on during this amazing concert.

Can you imaging our National Anthem being played in Pyong Yang and the North Koreans standing in respect?
This is the New York Philharmonic playing Arirang, a Korean traditional folk song, in Pyong Yang, North Korea.

I have seen reported that some of the musicians were moved [...]

Here’s hoping you will too.

George Winston delivers an amazing rendition on piano.
Here’s hoping you enjoy!

A Silly Little Christmas Song

Hallelujah Chorus

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Christmas season isn’t Christmas season without hearing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
This version is a bit unconventional but cute. Enjoy.

Soul Children of Chicago Perform “Silent Night”

Friday, December 14th, 2007

In searching for Christmas music to post today, I stumbled across a Gospel Choir, Soul Children of Chicago.
While this performance is a bit longer than most, if you do not have the time to devote to their full rendition of Silent Night, please have a listen from just about the three minute mark. I [...]

“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

If you are stopping by to read on this busy weekend, you might want to take a few minutes, relax and enjoy this rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
While the song admittedly “belongs” to Judy Garland, Aretha Franklin does it proud and the visuals added are terrific.

What do music and history have in common..have a listen

Monday, November 19th, 2007

With all of its shortcomings and its trials and tribulations, this really is a Wonderful World.
It never hurts to have a little bit of history mixed in while listening to the remarkable voice of Sam Cooke.

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I admit it, I am a country music junkie. I love absolutely anything by George Jones, and when it comes to gospel music, Vestal Goodman had one of the most beautiful voices I had ever heard. While this video has a few rough patches in the beginning, to me it is well worth [...]

I think Judy Garland would be proud of this performance

Friday, September 14th, 2007

This must be the British version of American Idol and while I am not usually into reality type programming, a friend sent this off to me and watching it to its conclusion, I admit I had the same reaction as the female judge in this competition. What a lovely little girl and what a [...]

A little girl…a big voice

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I had mentioned toward the end of last week that I would try to post at least one patriotic piece a day up to and on 9-11. Today’s offering is one which immediately upon viewing, became a favorite.
The parents of this young girl must have been so proud.
Hope you like it.
