50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon #MusicMonday

This is the third song I’m taking from the soundtrack of The Tender Bar, a film I’d recommend you watch if you can. It’s playing on Amazon Prime right now. Paul Simon’s original lyrics, coupled with the unmistakeable, repeated drum riff by Steve Gadd made this Simon’s first and only number one hit as a...Continue reading 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon #MusicMonday →

Good Times by Chic #MusicMonday

This is another song taken from the soundtrack of The Tender Bar, a film I’d recommend you watch if you can. It’s playing on Amazon Prime right now. If you were a teenager in the seventies like I was, the band Chic was the rage. Their funky grooves were incredibly catchy, and to this day,...Continue reading Good Times by Chic #MusicMonday →

Radar Love by Golden Earring #MusicMonday

I watched a delightful film on Amazon Prime this weekend called The Tender Bar, adapted from J. R. Moehringer’s memoir of the same name.  I didn’t know much about the author, but I was in the mood for something “writing-related.” The film follows the life of Moehringer growing up on Long Island in the 70s...Continue reading Radar Love by Golden Earring #MusicMonday →

Shine by Robert Glasper #MusicMonday

I featured Robert Glasper the first time on my blog with a cover of Kendrick Lamar’s song, “Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst.” With the help of friends, D Smoke & Tiffany Gouché, here’s his latest called “Shine.” I thought it a good song to kick off a new year. It contains positive lyrics,...Continue reading Shine by Robert Glasper #MusicMonday →

2021 Wrap-up includes Herman Miller, Actinolite, and Decreasing My Circle

I flipped through my 2021 calendar to recall what happened in the past twelve months, see if I could draw upon a theme to write this post. To gauge the Zeitgeist, I also browsed social media pages. Was there heightened excitement and buzz for the new year or sadness for the conclusion of an old...Continue reading 2021 Wrap-up includes Herman Miller, Actinolite, and Decreasing My Circle →

Whole Lotta Love #MusicMonday

I found out yesterday that a friend passed away. The last time I contacted Franco was less than two weeks ago, sent as a follow-up to a text delivered a week before that. He usually responded quickly, and I found it odd that I hadn’t heard from him. I knew him from the yoga studio...Continue reading Whole Lotta Love #MusicMonday →

Endless Love with Jon Batiste ft. Aloe Blacc #MusicMonday

I chose this song for today when I first came across it in March. Jon Batiste’s “Endless Love” seems appropriately festive and lyrical without too much sentimentality. Nine months ago, I’d have bet my life on it that we’d be ‘back to old times’ by now. We’re not. Omicron is wiping the floor with us,...Continue reading Endless Love with Jon Batiste ft.
