Music Monday – “Her husband, was a hard working man/Just a mile and a half from here/His head was found in a driving wheel/But his body never was found”

Hard to pick the most “pure” moment of Dolly Parton but this one is right up there – on a TV variety show, singing with her entire family, likely exactly the way she did growing up in Appalachia. This one is far from the celebrity you know but it is so much the Appalachia that […]

Music Monday – “She makes the sign of a teaspoon/He makes the sign of a wave/The poor boy changes clothes/And puts on aftershave/To compensate for his ordinary shoes”

Reading a new book about the recording of Paul Simon’s “Graceland” and rediscovering an amazingly influential and controversial album: “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” – Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Music Monday – “Don’t Look Back in Anger” IMAX Trailer

If you’re in a British band called “The Libertines” and have a lifelong history of battling drug addiction, this is a perfect song to cover in a stripped down acoustic form… Peter Doherty strips “The Drugs Don’t Work” back until there is almost nowhere for the song to hide.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Garth Brooks in #YXE (June 2016)

Don’t get to Saskatoon often these days but used to go a lot more when we were younger (including more than one there-and-back road trips to go JUST TO GET WENDY’S when Regina which is pretty insane in hindsight!) and when I worked for a province-wide organization (even had a program where I’d go and […]
