Music Monday – “Many colours are the jewels that sparkle/Many pleasures I will hold and embrace/Still for all that this world has to offer/It’s here that my heart will remain”

When pressed, I might call “Gone” by Greg Keelor my favourite album of all-time.  Here’s one of the songs from that album… “Lucknow” – Greg Keelor

Holiday Weekend Catch-Up

I took a couple days off on Monday and Tuesday to have an extended long weekend to go camping with Shea’s and my folks and to attend Shea’s cousin’s wedding.  Which means I need to do another extended weekend catch-up of missed blog posts… Saturday Snap As mentioned, we went to Shea’s cousin’s wedding at […]

Long Weekend Catch-Up – Happy, Sad, Funny, Tired

Didn’t do any blogging over the long weekend so I’ll catch up now… Saturday Snap Sappy Sunday Gah…so sad. Music Monday Guitar and Drums at the same time?  It’s like The White Stripes in a single body! Tuesday I have a headache and am now going to bed…

Music Monday – “If you aren’t real/Then all my prayers aren’t worth a cent/That would mean I can just make up/What my purpose in life is”

Music Monday – “Say you got an “I”,”T” Followed by apostrophe “s”/Now what does that mean?/You would not use “it’s” in this case/As a possessive/It’s a contraction”

“Weird Al” Yankovic is pretty much the perfect musician for the Internet age – nerdy mash-up specialist who  is no stranger to controversy.  So the fact that his latest album has a song about Internet grammar is pretty much perfection (and guaranteed to go viral)… “Word Crimes” – “Weird Al” Yankovic

I remember seeing the New Zealand band, Hobnail Boots (now known as “Hobnail“) when they played the Ness Creek Festival during a cross-Canada tour, maybe in the mid-1990’s? Funny how hearing the opening notes of this song immediately brought back great memories of their entire performance… “Ouzo” – Hobnail Boots

Music Monday – “Saw her eyes in the rear-view mirror/Girls in the back, trunks full of beer”

“Southern Comfort” – The Orwells

Gone fishing for a week. Expect minimal blogging…

Music Monday – “I got no car and it’s breaking my heart/But I’ve found a driver and that’s a start”

“Drive My Car” – Beatles

Music Monday – “I’m grateful for all you’ve done/I never felt like I went without with what I had/And I’m proud to be your son/And I’m proud to call you my dad”

A video I made a couple years back which has a Father’s Day theme… “Pier 21” – John Wort Hannam
