Music Monday – “My heart’s like an open book/For the whole world to read/Sometimes nothing keeps me together/At the seams”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

Music Monday – “So needless to say/I’m odds and ends/I’ll be stumbling away/Slowly learning that life is OK/Say after me/It’s no better to be safe than sorry

I don’t normally add a lot of my own thoughts to Music Monday posts but wow, hearing this song that I loved as a kid (yes, the innovative video was a big part of that!) slowed down and done acoustically really makes it heartbreaking and adds a feeling of nostalgia (in multiple ways) that the […]

  One of the best parts of any trip is the funny moments that happen.  Here’s a few from our recent trip: Hearing Justin Bieber’s popular Christmas song, “Mistletoe” on the van’s radio as we’re shuttled from the airport to our hotel.  (It’s important to note that our trip was in late February, not December, […]

Music Monday – “And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies/And sun, sun, sun all down our necks/And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces/And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck”

Hey look!  I went through an added an “allinclusive” tag to all my posts about various aspects of our all-inclusive holidays over the years to make them easier to find instead of just using the “holiday” tag which is a bit broader.

Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?

Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions.

Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals
