Blasts from the past … what a hoot and a half

Posted in Music I like, My Chinese Checkered Past, tagged , , , , on March 18, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Not every step in my journey through this life has been fun … far from it … but some have combined hilarity and joy so effectively that they resonate and stir a smile up even years later.

I’m grinning this morning thanks to a comment that appeared on a post from a while back, a blast from the past, sweet and beautifully written, from one of the guys who staggered along with me for a few years back in my Rock & Roll roadie days.

John was the bassist with the mostest in Spider Kelly, a whip-smart (and yes, his wit could sting), shy, brooding gangster in his 20s at the time who provided moments that I strongly suspect were formative and to this day can make me, in present vernacular, lol.

He is still making music, as his myspace page clearly shows, and listening to the offerings there conjures a clear image of him as his voice fills my computer.

Speaking of his myspace page … I’ve nicked a vid from there, a shining moment from another band we hung with in the old days, Little Roger and the Goosebumps, that I haven’t thought of in years … the song, not the band. (Rick and Roger … you are NOT forgotten!)

Enjoy …

Adios, Singapore … Terima kasih …

Heading for home in a couple of hours.

Seems I’m being haunted or channeled or something by the wonderful Jason Mraz, who just happened to be in Singapore the same time I’m here. “Lucky” me.

Here’s another fav:

The Day the Music Died

Posted in Music I like on February 3, 2009| 3 Comments »

Fifty years ago today, the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper crashed in a snow storm, killing all on board.

Buddy was 22-years-old.

His music and legend live on.

And for an almost eerie icing on the cake, this vid of John Lennon singing Buddy Holly.

Celebrate Life

Posted in I wanna, love, Music I like on January 6, 2009| 4 Comments »

The end of 2008 brought so many goodbyes … so much death … and it’s time I spent some time here reaching into 2009, welcoming the potentials and celebrating life.

I have hope, always, and the beginning of this year requires that I replenish my stores of it.

There is a lot of joy on the edges of the horizon, and so much love coming toward me. I want and need to be ready for it all.

Here’s an inspiration … something that reminds what it’s all about …

Thanks Jo and Paul …

Needing laughs, and finding them

Posted in Angelina Jolie, Elections USA, England, Friends, Fun, Music I like, World politics on January 5, 2009| 3 Comments »

I know I’m coasting here, posting vids instead of writing, but, believe me, my work sucks these days with all the crap swirling in my head … plus, I need all the music and laughs I can get out of every hour.

That being the case, I’m sticking a couple of YouTube contributions up here that had me wetting myself, and anything that can crack me up this much today deserves to be passed along. (Thanks, Jane)
