We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….
Memory Lane Monday…Cassette tapes
My son’s Facebook status today was about cassette tapes and the death of the Sony Walkman. In the comments that followed were reminiscences of making mix tapes for friends and taping from a record player. It brought back memories of sitting by the radio with a tape recorder much like the one in the picture…
Memory Lane Monday…Eres Tu
The other day David was watching a movie downstairs and I heard a little snippet of a song which brought back memories of singing in junior high choir. I hadn’t heard the song in years and years but just a few bars of the tune (I couldn’t even hear the words upstairs) were enough to…
Music on the Patio

Summer nights…

Here in our little Oklahoma town, that sort of thing used to be hard to come by but things, they are a changin’. This past Thursday evening I…
Memory Lane Monday…Memorial Day
In honor of Memorial Day, I thought I’d share an appropriate memory: I can remember singing this with friends, particularly on one occasion as we drove up to the mountains (I grew up in California where there actually were real mountains). I don’t recall any of us talking about the lyrics so I’m not sure…
