The Beatles Liverpool showed up on the way from Lancaster to Cambridge. Should I stop and look around? Pose by the statue? At the very least, sing a few Beatles songs on the way by? Me: Honey, take a music video of the Beatles Liverpool sign, and me singing. Her: Really?
GOOD MOOD MAKES A DIFFERENCE?
March 13, 2024 by
A good mood sets the day. A bad mood? Everyone has one, but not everyone shares it over and over. And over. Is there a huge difference between the two?
BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND
January 28, 2024 by
Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:
NEEDY PEOPLE NEED DANCE MUSIC
July 18, 2023 by
Needy people, and who isn’t one, have their favorite toe tappers. Some are sad, some defiant, some just lost in the shuffle. But we all remember the one song that hit at just the right time. Then another for another time, and another and another and another. Whew, it’s needy time.
BEATLES BREAK UP REASONS REVEALED IN GET BACK
July 13, 2022 by
The Beatles break up runs through the Get Back documentary. The lads joke about it, work through it, and eventually the end is near. Why the break up of the greatest band ever assembled? They weren’t as happy together as they were alone.
AGING MUSIC FOR COUPLES TO GROW OLD BY
May 23, 2022 by
I first heard aging music from the Beatles. When I’m Sixty-Four came out when I was thirteen. Why would a young band contemplate being 64 years old? It seemed weird. Until I turned sixty-four.

February 18, 2021 by
Guitar relationships are like any other. Some are better than others, and we remember them all. The best part about guitar relationships? They last a lifetime. Can’t say that about every relationship, unless there’s a guitar link. There’s something about music creating the ties that bind. But where does it start? By making something that […]
FUN TIME BALANCES REGRET AND REMORSE
July 29, 2020 by
A fun time is the break in the clouds, a ray of sunshine on an otherwise darkened day. How’s that working this week? We all having a fun time yet? If not, why not? Maybe we need a new soundtrack, new songs for this space in time? (Thank you Ten Years After.)
JOHN PRINE: WORDS FOR ASMR CALM
April 17, 2020 by
I heard of John Prine in 1972. This is his first album cover. He’s a guy sitting on a hay bale like it was just another day. Then he became the Mark Twain of songwriters.
WILLIE VLAUTIN SAVES LIVES
November 7, 2015 by
Richmond Fontaine is the name of Willie Vlautin’s band. Like Creedence Clearwater Rivival was the name of John Fogerty’s band, and Foo Fighters is Dave Grohl’s band, Willie is a musician comfortable without his name in lights. There’s no me, me, me with some guys and it’s a relief. They let their work speak for […]
