Gardening, music, life with MS
It was 40 years ago today that John Lennon was murdered. I can clearly remember the events of that day. I was 22 years old, married, with a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son, living in a one bedroom apartment in New York, (Westchester County) I woke up to the phone […]
“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 […]

12:00 noon, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RINGO STARR, spread message of PEACE AND LOVE!
I have not been there yet and I’m dying to go. One thing I have to say is that I don’t believe “Gangsta Rap, or Rap”, should be in it! It is not called the Rap Hall of Fame. I think they’re trying to be politically correct, but they needn’t be. There are a ton […]
5/21/20 Country music I have no history of voluntarily listening to country music. I was not accustomed to hearing it. My first introduction was when I was 19 years old, with my infant daughter, and my husband at that time, an alcoholic. He would stay out drinking till the middle of the night and come […]
5/10 Yesterday we lost another rock ‘n roll icon, Little Richard. He was 87 and died of bone cancer. Little Richard was a trailblazer. He had a lifelong career but initially made his mark in the 50’s. I’ve only experienced him on TV but I’ll never forget his energy and talent. There is nothing like […]
5/9/20 Last fall we went to see Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience. I’ve love Led Zeppelin since I discovered them in 1975 in high school, (another story). I wanted to see this band because it had John Bonham’s son leading it. I had some doubts on who the singer might be. Seriously, who could live […]
