Lee was 46. Of all the people I know, barring parents and grandparents, I knew Lee the longest. We “met”, photos and family say, when we were infants/toddlers. A few of my earliest memories include a starring role by Lee. We didn't see each other often, but we made the most of the time we…

Singing Crabs, Kung Fu, and a Little Bit of Faith #AtoZchallenge
From kissing to other amorous things to kung fu to growing up and keeping the faith, a quartet of songs I love. And this image of Sebastian's look of utter disbelief is – quite possibly – my favorite Disney movie clip ever. Me and Kirk rented the tape any number of times. Most times, we'd…

Jackson Boogie
Holy shit! Only two songs today! Jungle Boogie Thank you Quentin Tarantino for putting together a kick ass soundtrack for Pulp Fiction (one of my favorite movies of all time). I'd never heard Jungle Boogie before seeing it in Pulp Fiction – which I saw for the first time at the now-closed theatre in Bethesda…

Drinking Alone With Ponies #AtoZchallenge
Hard one today, I thought I'd go with just "If I Had a Pony" and stay somewhat short for a change, but I keep thinking of a few others to add. Got to the drinking songs and decided to end it there. Feeling virtuous after a run yesterday and an hour in a Boot Camp…

If Don’t Hold On to Your Hundred Dollar Bill, You Can Get a Room at the Hotel California #AtoZchallenge
Friday Night (Hundred Dollar Bill) Officially, this is an F song. I always call it Hundred Dollar Bill and got the order flipped. Whatever. My blog, my rules. I. Love. This. Song. When the girls were younger, they'd both go to Louisiana for weeks during the summer. Candice and I would each get in a…

Gimme Gimme Gimme – #SoCS
FYI, this post is only tangentially about Knox (that's the puppy sitting on top of Oscar). Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “give/given/giving.” Begin your post with one of those words. Bonus points if you end your post with one as well. Enjoy! Give me, give me, gimmegimmegimme, was the first thing…

Gambling, Galveston, and Saying Goodnight to the Moon #AtoZchallenge
Once again, I thought I'd have two songs, because, “G? Nothing starts with G.” And, I left off Daft Punk's Get Lucky, Get Back by the Beatles, Georgia on My Mind by Ray Charles, and Get Up by the Godfather of Soul, The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness, James Brown. As I started writing, The…

A Family Tradition of Perfect Fat-Bottomed Possums Fallin’ on Faith #AtoZchallenge
There are so many great songs. As soon as I think I might be done, I think of another. And I'm sure when I'm done with all of these, I'll look back and think, “How could I not have thought of THAT.” Actually, I did that earlier today thinking about B. How the hell did…

Ellie and Evelyn Go to El Paso, Twice #AtoZchallenge
Diving straight in today. Ellie the Elegant Elephant Not the kids books and recordings. I couldn't find an actual recording of this song by Two Ton Baker, though while I was looking I came across two songs from the 1940s that wouldn't be made today: The Too Fat Polka – which includes the line “I…

Dancing and Drinking With the Devil #AtoZchallenge
Today is especially a hodgepodge of music – one of the best fiddlers around, a made up group, the Boss, a Mardi Gras party song, and Les Miserable. My crappy title also reminds me of my favorite line from the first Batman movie; “Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?” Jack…
