I couldn’t wait to see the lady that lent me the scrapbook, to discuss the contents and find out exactly whose scrapbook it belonged to. I worked with her last week and the first question I asked was who’s scrapbook was it? Well I was quite surprised when she said it was hers! So much […]
A lady I volunteer with in the gift shop was telling me of having to go through a relatives estate and having found a scrapbook on The Beatles. She then said that I was probably too young. Well you know that ain’t right. I proceeded to tell her about my love, (obsession) with The Beatles […]
The other day my sister-in-law sent me the lyrics to this song by Chris Stapleton. After reading and listening to the song I was in tears. Not only did he describe my Maggie, but the picture of his dog, looked just like my Maggie and his Maggie is from Tennessee and so was mine. Chris’s […]
My first record was a 45, “Hello Goodbye” on one side and “I am the Walrus” by the Beatles on side 2. My first album, (33 1/3) was “Sgt. Pepper”. No surprise there. During my high school years I never bought any albums except by The Beatles and never played any record in my room […]
I was listening to the Beatles channel on Sirius XM and they were doing a segment called Dark Horse, which showcases George. The above song came on and I remembered how much I loved this album. Probably the most played album I had, (besides Sgt. Pepper) during my high school years. We all know that […]

“The sound you make is muzak to my ears,” a lyric from John Lennon’s “How Do You Sleep.” This was an attempt by John to put down Paul’s music as silly and not important, no depth. This was after they broke up and there was a back and forth between them. Of course John’s retaliations […]
October 6, 2020, Eddie Van Halen died. Unbeknownst to me he had been battling throat cancer for some time. To me, Van Halen was a supergroup! I was in my 20’s, early 30’s when they came on the scene. What stood out from the onset was Eddie Van Halen’s talent as a guitar player. As […]
I don’t think I mentioned this in my Music Background but I collect rock ‘n roll memorabilia, specifically The Beatles. I have a few Led Zeppelin pieces and a couple of photos of Robert Plant and a great photo of Slash that I took, (you really can’t call that a collection) so I’ll change it […]
