What are you listening to right now?

I find it very peculiar the effect music has on my emotions. I hear Karen Carpenter sing "Merry Christmas, Darling" and the waterworks begin. My mother, who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it, sang that song every year before she died in 1996, at the top of her lungs as if she were singing for the American Idol title. I smile through my tears every time I hear it.
 
I really like the tune Mike posted.

Some of us here kinda go back to our roots during the season. Plenty of us here with "connections" to other lands and languages. Nuttin' wrong with that. Respect for all.

[This is not the best. But what I found quickly.]

And, No. I never wore that antiquated garb. But, I did have to sing along.

Special times. Just as everyday is for all and each new one should be.

Happy Holidays and every day to all my friends here and everywhere!


Since I've spent lots of time between the Keys and way up in Michigan - Oh, yeah, some time on some SBH isle, too:


I really dig this song, the sentiment and the state.

It was a great XMAS. Plenty of great stories we shared - we lost Carla and Ben this year. Ya go on. Period.

More "entertaining" here for some days. Yep. It's cool, but a pain to coordinate. It'll work. ;) :)

Never, ever, not make the last train to Clarkesville. ;)
 
Had an ugly moment at a store this morn. As we're all in the checkout line, some ahole tries to cut in while spouting about the lousy service. We exchanged a few words. Then we wished each other a Happy New Year. With the permission of the folks behind me, I let him get right behind me in line.

As I'm walking to the car, he waves and I remember this classic Michigan tune (We ain't just Motown here. We've covered every musical base possible.)

Sighhhhhhh. A very good friend of mine is surrounded by family, a doc and a priest right now. We rode our Harleys all over.

I talked to his daughter. Through tears, she said "It's max a day or two." (Cancer crap)

I told her I hadn't seen her since she was as tall as my kneecap. "Yep. But Dad always talks about you." I blubbered.

She rides a "Hawg," too. "Can we get together with some of Dad's friends some time? I wanna hear more about him and you that were family for him all these years." I simply said that we've got to get through this and then keep in touch with all. A nice scoot ride to a favorite place and sharing memories is gonna happen.


BOB! Hang in there as long as it's worth it.

So sad Voosh - I have lost friends to that deadly disease as well and it's never easy. The memories, however, are what gets us through it and they sustain us when the fight is over. Hope you plan that get-together with his daughter
