Remembering Joe Hackett, My Teacher, Mentor, and Friend
Sunday, Oct. 17th I started this post in the morning. My husband and I were headed to Montreal to spend time with my mom—whom we hadn’t seen since Covid hit. Along the way, we stopped to stay with friends in the Thousand Islands. This small getaway was a giant step for us, a mini holiday....Continue reading Remembering Joe Hackett, My Teacher, Mentor, and Friend →

Wasted Days with John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen #MusicMonday
I’ve liked John Mellencamp since he first performed as John Cougar in the early 80s. His hit “Hurts So Good” introduced me to his heartland rock style of music. He was also a founding member of Farm Aid, which began in 1985. The fundraiser concerts have continued annually, raising awareness for the loss of family...Continue reading Wasted Days with John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen #MusicMonday →

When I happened on the video last night, it finally clicked for me. The visual made me appreciate the song in a way I couldn’t have when...Continue reading Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran feat.

On April 7, 2020, John Prine passed away at age 73 from complications of Covid-19.

Feeling Good #MusicMonday
Whenever I want to hear a voice that restores my faith in humanity, I listen to Nina Simone. She recorded “Feeling Good” for her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You. The song’s been covered by numerous artists including Lauryn Hill, John Coltrane, and George Micheal. Nina’s version is the best for me, and...Continue reading Feeling Good #MusicMonday →
