We’ve got a trip to New Orleans coming up soon and that always gets me thinking about some of the incredible music from my favorite city. Louis Armstrong, James Booker, Mahalia Jackson, Professor Longhair, Dr. John, Irma Thomas…and so many others. Here is a beautiful song by another New Orleans great, Allen Toussaint:
Timely Tunes ~ a new feature
When your kids know more than you do about something, it’s only smart to take advantage of that. For instance, my daughter, Lisa, built this website for me and provides tech support. And now I’m utilizing my son’s encyclopedic knowledge of music to provide a new feature for Life With Dee. So often I hear…
Music Monday ~ The Dudes
This summer our city has been hosting “Music in the Park” a couple of Sunday evenings a month. We have a music promotion company and were asked to schedule bands for these evenings.

Music Monday ~ Hallelujah
One of my favorite songs is “Hallelujah”, written by Leonard Cohen. There are many beautiful versions of it. My son bought me Jeff Buckley’s album, “Grace” for my birthday and it includes his haunting version.

French Friday ~ June 14, 2013
I think what appeals to me most about the stereotypical French woman is the way in which she lives life intentionally. Rather than just allowing life to happen to her, she makes deliberate choices and designs her own life. Every once in awhile I need a reminder to do likewise and that’s why I’m…
Peace Through Music
A couple of weeks ago I posted about my personal peace plan. I listed five parts to this plan: Meditation Yoga Prayer Inspiration Porch Time When I posted the link on my Well-Groomed Hippie Facebook page, a friend commented that exercise and drawing were keys to his personal sense of peace. As soon as I…
Tea and Crumpets
Okay, so I don’t actually have any crumpets. However, a nice cup (or four) of Darjeeling tea while watching Downton Abbey is a rather nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, don’t you agree?
