In a previous post, I talked about not being ready to go back to Birmingham and how my heart wants to stay here. Back in 1999, when Sabrina and I first met in person, the day she left to fly back home, I felt like my heart was being run through a shredder. I getContinue reading "The heart"
Long, Long, Long, Long Way from Home
In nearly 22 years since I moved to Alabama, I have made numerous trips back home to PA to family and friends. The older I get, and the older my family gets, leaving is never easy. I have been known to weep my eyes out before leaving in a part of the house here andContinue reading "Long, Long, Long, Long Way from Home"
A Night with the Music Nut
May 2, 2024 was the day that John the Music Nut and myself finally met in person. We first came to know each other through the Contrarians and various panel discussions. I believe that we probably started to have a bit more of a bond when we were involved in a series on U2’s discographyContinue reading "A Night with the Music Nut"
Giving credit where credit is due
I started My Music Corner YouTube channel really as a way of getting to share my thoughts on music once in a while as I had been doing stuff with the Contrarians and I have had the opportunity to “meet” some great people. The North and South Rock and Metal Connection came about out myContinue reading "Giving credit where credit is due"
April 3, 1954
70 years ago April 3, 1954 Today, April 3, would have been my parent’s 70th anniversary. Dad was a Marine from around 1950-1952. The story goes that it came down to a flip of a coin to see if he or his friend in boot camp named Howard would go off to schooling or toContinue reading "April 3, 1954"
Why April 1 will never be April fool’s day to me
April 1, 2011. I was staying up with my Dad along with my Mom. It was around 1 or so in the morning when my brother came in to relieve us. I would go to the basement where I was sleeping and next thing I know, it’s around 5:45 AM and my brother comes downContinue reading "Why April 1 will never be April fool’s day to me"
Barabbas Am I
Today, as I type this, is Good Friday. I call myself a follower of Jesus. And today, I reflect on the day He was hung up on a cross for all the wrongdoings of my own life and the sin and iniquity of the world. Maybe you read that first paragraph and already tuned out.Continue reading "Barabbas Am I"
13 years ago
In a previous post, I shared some events of things that transpired in my family with regard to my Dad’s final days. It was roughly a week before he passed where my mom, brother and myself were having a conversation about this music station that was playing on the cable company’s selection. Dad liked BigContinue reading "13 years ago"
My Music Corner
I knew when I first joined in on some panel discussions with a group of folks called the Contrarians, that I was going to enjoy myself. Even challenge myself and probably thinking how did I get to be and why am I amongst such music aficionados? But then I decide to take the plunge intoContinue reading "My Music Corner"
Love Coma
Love Coma? What is that? They’re a very good band out of the San Antonio Texas area with its singer/lyricist Chris Taylor. I first learned about Love Coma around 1998 when I saw a video of theirs on an inspirational/Christian video channel called ZTv. It was for a jangly, groovy, thought provoking song called HeartContinue reading "Love Coma"
