Atomic Dog

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

Speaking of dogs, my first dog I named Atomic Dog after this song. Haven’t listened to this song in many years. It used to bring down after my beloved Atomic was put down at the ripe old age of 13 years. But I’m glad that I gave it another listen, it brings back some awesome memories and has a really great funky beat. Thanks YouTube.com, once again, you’ve made my day.

Italia Guitar For Me

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

Italia Guitars have been a favorite of mine for some time now and since I am getting a decent sum of money back in the next couple of weeks from my 2012 tax returns, I figure this is as good as time as any to go ahead to buy myself one. It’s been a long time since I have been able to treat myself to something just for me, some thing fun and exciting. Heck they really aren’t all that expensive, so I have decided to place my new Italia Guitar on the top of my Tax Return Wish List.

Coconuts

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

This is another song that my father taught us to perform when we were little girls. It was originally released by Danny Kaye and there are versions by Monty Python, Pinochio and this one, from the Lion King, which is one of my all time Disney favorites.

Sing it, Stevie!

One of my all time favorite musicians was killed years ago in a helicopter crash. At first they thought that Eric Clapton was the one killed, but it turned out that Eric had given up his seat to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Graduated to Grilled Cheese

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

It’s been a rough couple of days lately. I some how got myself a stomach bug that has turned my life upside down but I am finally feeling up to real food again. I made grilled cheese sandwiches and nibbled on a small handful of Lays potato chips. I’m still drinking a lot of green tea, and I think maybe I’m getting addicted to the tea. I have a cup by my side all day and even take a cup to bed with me and leave it on the night stand.

I’ve given up on TV – the only time I turn it on is to watch the 10:00 news and then I shut it off again. I’d much rather listen to the music I have in my collection and have been playing a lot of oldies but goodies to just listen to them again. It’s not as depressing. Found an old album by Robert Cray that’s really easy on the ears. Haven’t listened to him in ages – love it.
