Music Monday – “I’m gonna hold on to every spot/It doesn’t make a difference if I use it or not/Sun is rising and folks are shocked to see/There’s no open slots”

This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts… “Towels on The Chairs” – ParoDeeJay

Music Monday – “And it’s just like the ocean under the moon/Oh, it’s the same as the emotion that I get from you/You got the kind of lovin’ that can be so smooth, yeah/Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about “

“Smooth” – Santana (featuring Rob Thomas)

Music Monday – “You’d say I’m putting you on/But it’s no joke/It’s doing me harm/You know I can’t sleep/I can’t stop my brain/You know it’s three weeks/I’m going insane You know I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind”

Music Monday – “Who said that every wish/Would be heard and answered/When wished on the morning star”

RIP Bob McGrath. A huge part of many kids’ childhoods and a deep, impactful connection to Saskatchewan as well. (I never met the man but of all the celebrities I’ve tried to add on Facebook – some successfully, some not – his acceptance was probably the one that made me the happiest!) “Rainbow Connection” – […]

Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

Using a […]

Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”

I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so… On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing […]
