Aww, Delbert, Say It Ain’t So

April 28, 2008

I’ve been to enough outdoor festivals that I should know these things by heart. Items to take to an outdoor festival: chair camera binoculars blanket or jacket bottled water sunscreen mosquito repellent antihistamine! taser gun for zapping unruly crowds! I know them, but I still forget. I had told y’all about the horrible crowds at [...]

Y’all, I’m so excited I can’t sit still. I’m poppin’ around like corn kernels in a frying pan! The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival is just around the corner, and I just found out who will be playing! DELBERT McCLINTON! I’ve told you I adore Delbert, and even got to meet him once. It’s on [...]

Mama Said Not To Play With Your Food

March 31, 2008

So I didn’t grow up to play music with the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. That’s what I said, “vegetable.” This video starts slowly, as the musicians choose their “instruments” at the market and then prepare them for playing. A carrot becomes a recorder, eggplants become clappers, a leek is a violin, and squash become percussion instruments. [...]

Yes, We Can Can

March 10, 2008

The first time I saw the Pointer Sisters on television, I thought, “What an unfortunate choice of clothing!” Those gals were dressed in 1940s garb, which wasn’t very stylish back in the 1970s. Heck, it probably wasn’t “stylish” in the 1940s! It looked like something out of my Aunt LaVerta’s closet that she donated to [...]

Rock On!

January 5, 2008

Y’all have probably already seen this, because it said in my AARP Bulletin from August (I’m finally getting around to reading it) that they are a cult hit on YouTube. This is The Zimmers, who are a group of 40 “Old Age Pensioners.” This British group certainly challenges any pre-conceived notions about old age! Alf, [...]

For the Moms (and anyone who ever had one)

September 27, 2007

My friend Connie sent me the link to this in an e-mail, and I thought it was hilarious so I had share it with you. The performer says she figured out what a Mom would say in a 24 hour period and condensed it into 2 minutes and 55 seconds. She sings it to the [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 26. Scattered

September 6, 2007

I can’t concentrate, so this Thursday Thirteen will be all over the map. Usually, I take great pains to put together something silly, but today I’m just going with the flow, because I’m 1. Get cool letters with Spell With Flickr. They were much too large for this page, so I copied them into Adobe [...]

Pickin’ and Grinnin’

June 19, 2007

Don’t think for a minute that living in a small Texas town is boring! Well, maybe it is; but, we have our share of characters. Saturday is a good time to see them all come out of the woodwork, at least here in Denton, Texas. Last Saturday, my husband and I had one of those [...]

The Man in Black

May 15, 2007

Today over at Duward Discussion, Jamie had a unique idea that I just love. Because she doesn’t often comment when she visits blogs, and rarely answers the comments on her own blog, she decided to put videos as “thank you gifts” to folks who had recently commented. She said, “So here are some presents for [...]
