An awesome song by Don Henley and the subject of today’s reading from my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I am sure in some point in time, I will record and post a few Don Henley tunes that I cover. Man, what a voice. A big musical influence on me and my style, asContinue reading “The End of the Innocence”

Royalty
Dukes, Duchesses, even Viscounts (whatever those are) all qualify as royalty. Lebron James doesn’t. The concepts we are taught when we are growing up like Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, and Knights, Lords, and Ladies, are all tres romantique, no? Crowns, castles, swords, man those looked like some pretty trippy times with a lotContinue reading “Royalty”
Despair
Despair is the emotion you don’t wish on anyone, or at least you shouldn’t. To take away someone’s hope is “the unkindest cut of all.”Sometimes it is the only thing left to take away from a person. That and personal pride, something I have always had way too much of. Despair is the emotion coveredContinue reading “Despair”
Musicals
I must have a gay gene in me somewhere. I love musicals and I love Barbra Streisand, so that probably seals it. I appreciate all the work involved in producing entertainment and coordinating the talents and resources of others who are just as enthralled with the whole process as everyone else involved with the theater.Continue reading “Musicals”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
The one day (besides your wedding anniversary) that you absolutely cannot forget unless you are the perfect partner. Quite honestly, there are a dwindling few of us left. I was rifling through some old papers and actually found this poem I wrote when I was nine years old. If it is not the worst loveContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
Tomorrow it is Then
Super Bowl Sunday. Food paradise. Alcohol nirvana. Party time! Close friends, family get-togethers, oh, and shouting and screaming. Lots and lots of shouting and screaming. I will only squawk about this once and then I will climb down from my shaky old soap box. Take care. We are finally making gains against this killer virus,Continue reading “Tomorrow it is Then”
A Letter to a Hero
Three months ago I wrote a letter to Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford. My beloved Reds are making a run this year in the Premier League, currently sitting top of the table at the seaon’s mid-point. Marcus has been using his voice and celebrity status to try and get the British Parliament to form andContinue reading “A Letter to a Hero”
Outrageous
As my loyal 17 followers know, I am bound to say or do anything on this platform and now I am starting to learn just enough to be dangerous. Starting with my blogpost TODAY, Jan. 11th, I will post a link to one of the songs I have written, recorded, and performed. I will postContinue reading “Outrageous”
Coffee or Tea?
I never drank even one cup of coffee in my entire life until I was 60 years old. Now, I have one or two small cups every morning. I’m very exacting in how I mix my delectable early-morning treat. I like a little sugar-free vanilla creamer, and a splash of whole milk or halfContinue reading “Coffee or Tea?”
