Because I already know how I want to close this thing out, and because tomorrow is looking like a very busy and long day, and because (as my hubby said) I've done these late, so why not early ( Read more... )

Just posting the first thing that came to my mind today. This song was my mom's way of saying, "Get out of bed, kids, day's a-wasting!" She'd wander in and out of our bedrooms singing and clapping in her loudest voice. Kind of like the little kids in this video...

This is an easy one. Also, Garth was my favorite artist for many years. I still pause and focus on the music when I hear one of his songs. Of course one of his songs had to find a place in here somewhere. I am a little disappointed to find that he doesn't have a YouTube channel. Capitol Records needs to get on that ( Read more... )

The instrument that I most want to learn to play (although, so far obviously not enough to actually do it), is the harmonica. It is just so versatile and beautiful. There is only one song that I know how to play on that instrument, and that is TapsI watch America's Got Talent, and one of the contestants this year has been an incredible harmonica ( Read more... )

Thought about it and thought about it on the day when I was supposed to post. Came up with nothing. But now, after going to bed late and lying awake for a bit ( Read more... )

Here's the thing about my funeral: if all goes according to plan, I'll be dead before it happens. Hence, I won't care.

Funerals aren't for the dead ( Read more... )

My wedding was crazy beautiful. It seems appropriate here to remember the special songs that played on that day.

We kicked off with a somewhat obscure song, Dearly Beloved from Faith Hill. It took some serious searching to find this cute video featuring it ( Read more... )

It's been a few days. I had planned to lump these three together anyway, but then I let it go a couple days farther ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about this one off-and-on throughout the day. I don't think I have a favorite album. I was going to say something here about how the word "album" doesn't entirely mean what a lot of people seem to think it means, but of course since a lot of people think it means that, perhaps we can say the meaning is steadily changing. It's ( Read more... )

Anything from The Postal Service. Their songs completely belong on the radio. Adam Young, the Owl City guy, had this to say about Postal Service: “They released a record in 2003, and that was it. There was really nothing to compare it to until some one else came along and wrote the next chapter. Maybe that’s [Ocean Eyes]. Maybe that’s [Owl City ( Read more... )
