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…

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…

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…
