Anybody home?

Hello? Hello? Anyone out there but Deven, Steve and Larry? Hello? Anybody?
It’s getting kind of quiet here. Maybe the topics have been too… out there. Let’s try something easier.
Yeah, that’s it: EASY SONGS.

This is not dedicated to the one I love

This week’s column is about my daughter’s best friend, so we’ll go with a best friends theme. No love songs, please, even if you’re fortunate enough to be married to your best friend. Think of some other best friend… like maybe your best friend from kindergarten.
The theme: SONG FOR A BEST FRIEND.

And then later…

Continuing with the previous theme’s theme…
YOUR FAVORITE SONGS FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

Do you remember?

YOUR FAVORITE SONGS IN GRADE SCHOOL.

OK, so…

P.S. There’s also a new link to Sunday’s column, which [...]

Steve’s OK

After a long visit to an area ER, my beloved is resting comfortably this evening, spending some quality time with the gall bladder he probably won’t have much longer.
It inspires the next theme:
SONGS FOR THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

Moving ahead blindly

Forgive me if this post has any typographical errors. I’m sort of flying blind here: I haven’t bothered to put my glasses on yet this morning. That’s fine for watching kiddie TV, cleaning house and stuff like that… but no so great for reading or writing.
It’s sort of fun, though: I can see well enough [...]

FLASHBACK: Baseball/Softball Day

Another theme from the original incarnation of Song of the Day. This category honored Hard News, our rec league softbal team.

Ty: Centerfield, John Fogerty
Beth: In Right Field (Watching the Dandelions Grow)
