Isn’t Life Strange?

Do you want to know why so many of us have been so pissed off at the main stream media for so long?

It’s too bad this classic Disney ride no longer exists. I was able to ride it only once during a whirlwind (and my very first) trip to Walt Disney World in 1996. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was replaced by a Winnie the Pooh-themed dark ride. I’ve not been on that one yet, […]

I found the following 45-minute video to be absolutely fascinating. For those of us who hadn’t visited Epcot before the mid 1990’s, the video reveals how much the Future World section of the park has changed over the years.
Granted, some of the newer attractions have drawn more people to the park, but I sure […]

I found the following spoofs amusing. Someone must have had a lot of fun.

You’ve probably noticed an odd little pattern here over the past few days, as blog entries seem to either focus on The Moody Blues or anything Disney. A little variety may be in order. But not yet.
Hey, it could be worse than this. I could start ranting about politics. […]

It’s hard to believe that at one time there was another version of The Moody Blues. Prior to the day that nineteen year old Justin Hayward joined the band and quickly penned “Nights in White Satin”, The Moody Blues had a completely different sound.
Take a look at this blast from the past […]

I’m getting more and more excited as time draws near my next pilgrimage to see the mouse.
As much as I enjoy the thrill rides and newer attractions at Walt Disney World, the original attractions that have roots back to Disneyland and other Walt Disney projects are no less fascinating or entertaining. Audio-Animatronic […]

In my search for more Moody Blues related videos on YouTube, I stumbled across a cover of a beautiful Moodies’ song, “New Horizons” performed by Paul Sonnenberg, a bossa nova artist living in Austin, Texas. You really can find good music everywhere.
Here’s his nicely performed cover of “New Horizons”

And here’s an original […]

Those who know me know that my favorite band in the entire world is The Moody Blues. It’s odd that in the two plus years I’ve been doing this blog that I have managed to avoid (unintentionally) writing anything about them. After all, the name of this little blog is a rip off […]

Funny stuff!

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today. Maybe it’s the music I’ve been playing or perhaps it’s been helped by my first Jack and Coke, but there are days I would give anything to go back to the 1980’s and enjoy my days as a young man. I have to admit that there is […]

This morning I watched a short story on Fox News regarding ACORN’s illegal voter registration activity. CNN has done a much better job covering the details of the story in their piece as follows.
It’s not exactly that these problems never existed in the past. Nonetheless I would assume that the activities […]

Well folks, I’m now officially creeped out.
I’ve been trying not to do much of anything political here or get into a habit of commenting on the candidates for the upcoming election. I think those who know me and read this blog know well enough where I stand and what I believe and I’d rather […]

We lost another great musician just a couple of days ago. Jerry Reed, star of stage and screen passed away at the age of 71, I’ll always remember his memorable performance in the movie “Smokey And The Bandit.” But he was a musician first, and a great picker at that. What […]

I have no idea who Tommy Emmanuel is, but this is some fine guitar playing.
