I started playing late-August of this year and I try to practice a little every day. I still love playing it. It’s a very relaxing hobby. This is a little bit of I’m Looking Through You by The Beatles.

A friend asked me what I’ve been listening to lately so I put this list together for him. Some of these are free downloads from Amazon… the rest are links to where you can listen to a sample or a YouTube video. I listen to a lot of different styles of music (translation: my wife [...]

Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you. Venkman: What? Spengler: Don’t cross the streams. Venkman: Why? Spengler: It would be bad. Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”? Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body [...]

Just because they’re young doesn’t mean they don’t have any taste. I’m not against spinning the occasional silly songs collection (although I do [...]

Tonight we had one of those random, wonderful moments that you try to hold on to because, despite how silly you know it was, it was great and you know it will never happen again. It’s the kind of thing that can only happen when your children are at a certain age. They’re young enough [...]

Song by Eric Herman. Via A Family Runs Through It.

PBS Kids is running a self-promo between programs that shows kids and PBS characters playing on a beach. It’s black and white with splashes of green and a catchy tune is playing in the background.
