Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]

Music Monday – “I’ve got that whiskey in the eye, my love/You know I’m not afraid to fight/Cause word’s been gettin’ round this town/and I can’t wait another night”

Soon after the Humboldt Broncos accident happened on Friday, I was sure I’d be posting Tom Cochrane’s “Big League” as my Music Monday post this week. But I’ve linked to that song a couple times already – I decided to post it right away on the night of the accident and again yesterday in a […]

“I’m not unusual in Canada for how much hockey has meant to me my whole life.”

I put this on Facebook before the Humboldt Broncos Vigil tonight (and after some time has passed, I may share some other thoughts on that) but wanted to capture it here too since Facebook sucks. 😉 I’m not unusual in Canada for how much hockey has meant to me my whole life. I was never […]

Music Monday – “I like girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch/I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone/Since that summer”

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on me posting songs from my “Tropical Vacation Tunes” playlist after our holiday is over. But I’m going to keep doing it for the time being (and since there’s more than 52 songs on that playlist, who knows – maybe I’ll post one a week until our […]

Music Monday – “Dancin’ in the moonlight/Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright/It’s such a fine and natural sight/Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight”

Another favourite from my “Tropical Tunes” playlist that provided a soundtrack for our recent Mexican holiday. “Dancing in the Moonlight” – Toploader

Music Monday – “Allow us to take you to the palm trees/Put your mind at ease Lay out in the sun Yuh feel the cool ocean breeze/Take a trip from Canada/I want all of us to go” @tasmanjude #ThePalaceLife

Twenty-four hours until we’re heading for the airport! Not sure how I first came across this groovy western Canadian reggae song (I think it was used for someone else’s travel montage video on YouTube?) but it’s become a staple of my “Tropical Holiday” playlist. The lyric version of this song is easier to understand… …but the live […]
