Music Monday – “What am I gonna do?/I can’t survive on my Amerika/If the worst is true/Is it just a waste of time?”

Dedicated to last night’s US Presidential Debate…

Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”

Here’s one of the songs I taped at the Fred Eaglesmith show on Saturday night (which just happens to be one of my favourite Fred Eaglesmith songs of all-time.) “White Rose” – Fred Eaglesmith Actually, speaking of my favourite Fred songs, why not turn this post into a list? Jason’s Top 10 Fred Eaglesmith Songs 1. […]

Music Tuesday – “Going to the candidate’s debate/Laugh about it, Shout about it/When you’ve got to choose/Every way you look at it, you lose.”

I didn’t a Music Monday song yesterday since I was too excited about making a snarky Donald Trump post.  But how can I not post this? “Mrs. Robinson” – Simon & Garfunkel

Friday Fun Link – Dancing at the end of @officialRPL 50th Anniversary “Retro” Party

After originally being posted by Shea to Facebook (which means I have plausible deniablility but also that not everyone could view it since she didn’t make it public), this video has taken on a bit of legendary status. I’m getting all these cryptic e-mails from other people at RPL (and even beyond) that say “Hey, […]

Music Monday – “Polly wants a cracker/I think I should get off her first/I think she wants some water/To put out the blow torch”

One Final @RoryAllenMusic Video From The RP Anniversary Gig (And A Few Thoughts on “The King”)

I have lots of Elvis memories from growing up. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to my parent’s record collection.  My dad was a big Elvis fan and passed that love of “The King” on to me via the various Elvis records he owned. I used to argue with one of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland (August 2006)

Since I’ve got a bit of a rock & roll theme going this week with the various posts about RPL’s 50th “Retro” Anniversary Party featuring Rory Allen this Saturday from 1-4pm, I thought I’d post a picture of me outside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland…

Music Monday – “Honey, I know, I know I know/Times are changing/It’s time we all reach out/For something new, that means you too”

Some say that the mark of a great song is that you can re-work it into a different style of music and it’s just as powerful. This is a good example of that theory in practice… “Purple Rain” (Bluegrass cover) – Leroy Justice
