The spring peepers can barely wait for the snow to stop falling. Last Monday, we got dumped on with a foot of wet, slushy snow. Monday night the peepers began their annual chorus. One day, just as quickly, it’ll end. They’ll be replaced in the late summer by the sounds of bullfrogs.
I think I’ll end [...]

87/100 – Wild Horses

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day
I guess we’ll all probably pick a favourite Stones song. I pick this one, in memory of a sweet moment on the dance floor in grade 12.

Don’t Cry for me Argentina

Evita.
This is the one musical I can’t miss whenever it’s playing nearby. I’ve forgotten how many times I’ve seen it. School productions, professional productions, community theatre – yeah, I even watch Madonna give it a shot. This woman’s life fascinates me.
Don’t Cry for me, Argentina

Songs I’ve watched my daughter sing on stage.
She was uncomfortable with the lyric “Single my ass”, but when it came time for the curtain to raise, she swallowed her 11-year-old nerves and sang it. Loud.
(They didn’t dress quite this sexy…)
(Is it just me, or are these women TOO skinny?)

Did I actually beat everyone to this? (I haven’t done a very good job of keeping up on all the blogs lately.)
I know it was a monster hit for Procol Harum, and I love their version of it, but I’m a huge fan of the Annie Lennox version too. (It’s a weird video, isn’t it?) [...]

This weather is making me feel all Christmassy.

Donkey Riding
Posted in Uncategorized on April 4, 2007 | 6 Comments »
What can I say? I’m in a Great Big Sea mood.
Way hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey and away we go
Ridin’ on a donkey.
Was you ever in Quebec
Launchin’ timber on the deck?
Where ya break yer bleedin’ neck
Ridin’ on a donkey!
This song always gets people out of their seats. The [...]
Ordinary Day

Great Big Sea
And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day
and it’s all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you’ve still got to say,
it’s all right.
Among those of us who love this band, the opening morse code riff of this song is as instantly recognizable as the funky chord at the beginning [...]

Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on solsbury hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
I’ve been touched by a lot of music, but I wonder about people who really think an artist is singing specifically to them. Like when I heard John Lennon chuckling over the fan who wrote [...]
79 – Paint it Black

Rolling Stones
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
In my memory, Guy and I are driving home from University, and he has his cassette player [...]
