My Mind is a Smart Aleck


29 Nov

For the last two days I’ve wakened with the very lovely song, Hallelujah, on the tip of my tongue. It’s been a nice little mantra to spend the day with. However, my mind has obviously had enough of that for I woke up with this phrase: “I suck teh blue lemons!”

… WTH …

Schoolhouse Rock


08 Oct

We need more Schoolhouse Rock. Remember them? The little cartoon shorties that were simple education wrapped in really good music. Here’s one of my favorites:

schoolhouse_rockSeveral of the Schoolhouse Rock songs I remember better than any lesson I learned at school. Not everyone responds to “musical teaching” but I did. I looked forward to the lessons on Saturday morning, and always hoped to see a new one.

I just read the Wikipedia article and never realised that there were a total of 47 3-minute episodes made. I think I missed a few.

If you watched Schoolhouse Rock, what was your favorite? Feel free to include a link if you find a video.

Well, Wasn’t That A Nice Break?

As you can see by the byline of the previous post, it wasn’t me! It was a more coherent, Thesaurus equipped, snarky professor.

I have 23 followers on Twitter. Do any of them realise I’m not twittering for days at a time? Sometimes months. This sort of thing is happening several places that I joined once upon a time and then abandoned.

DO NOT BE A JOINER!!

IT WILL COME BACK AND HAUNT YOU!!!

Are you a fan of PRIBEK? You’re not? Well, remedy that! Jeesh!

I found this interesting interview last night. It could have been done a few days ago, or years. I can’t tell because someone doesn’t date their posts!

From the interview at Jemsite: The Guitar Hero Series

I got interested in the guitar several years before I started playing. I remember seeing B.B. King on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I was maybe 8 or 9 and something about what he did really grabbed me. When I was 14, I saved $50 up from mowing lawns and bought a Supro guitar and Supro amp from a guy who was a couple of years older. I messed around with it on my own and took a few lessons. Eventually, I ran in to Ron Roskowske, who is a great teacher. He was working at a music store in Washington, Missouri. I took lessons from Ron sort of off and on. I would go for a couple months and, see this was a deal, where my Mom had to drive me 30 miles each way so; I’d take a break for a few months and absorb what Ron showed me. It’s a good way to learn really.

How many of you use themes that don’t date your posts?

uh-huh. That many, hm?

Well? Fix it!
