Love, peace, and music. I wish those for you. And now, let’s get down to business. No, I’m not smokin’ any halo tobacco. It doesn’t take a dope-smokin’, long-haired, hippy freak to talk about the finer parts of life. And, … Read the rest
Elgielene will back me up on this (and she’ll probably add how annoying it can be). But there are almost always notes and beats going on in my brain. And the annoying part (for others who can’t hear them) is … Read the rest

95 years ago, today, October 6, a quirky little guy said, “”Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet.” And the crowd went wild. You probably already know I’m talking about Al Jolson. And you probably already … Read the rest
Music is an aural expression of life. From babies in the womb to the silver-haired citizens, music is an amazingly comforting language. I’ve shared a lot of information about the health benefits of music and sound. But it doesn’t benefit … Read the rest

Here’s a short story about how music and memories are closely connected. My Dad didn’t really go for high-priced vehicles. In fact, I don’t think he ever bought a new car. But I do remember a couple of times he … Read the rest
Music is a drug. Yeah, some people would like you to believe that. And think of it that way. But I don’t believe that’s a healthy way to think of it. And I DO believe music is good for you. … Read the rest
Stress and anxiety. Ho-hum, no pro-blum. Right? So life’s a little stressful. And who cares about anxiety? You and I just sing in the face of such things. Like this… In case you can’t see the video copy and paste … Read the rest

Do a search, for “retire,” on just about any search engine with the suggestions function. And you’ll probably see something like “retire ready” or “retire age” or, the best one, “retire early.” Yeah, if you’re gonna do it, retire early. … Read the rest
