3/30/19: Green

I’m in a great mood today.

3/19/19: Safe Travels

A dear friend of mine passed away recently. We had many wonderful adventures together. She was warm, funny, and life will be less fun without her. This is a song we used to like to play on the jukebox at our local joint. Not because anyone was lying or anything like that – it’s just

2/2/19: Groundhog love

Every year, a bunch of poor groundhogs who never asked for any trouble get dragged out of their nice warm burrows by a bunch of humans in top hats. And then these very humans demand that the groundhog predict the overall weather pattern for the next six weeks. This is a very difficult task even

10/9/17: Monday Funday Dance Party

Music for a rainy day.

10/4/17: A bit of wicked wacky-wicky

It’s a song, it’s a dance, it will be stuck in your head all day.
