There was music in the cafes at night, and revolution in the air. She had to sell everything she owned, and froze up inside. And when finally the bottom fell out, I became withdrawn. The only thing I knew how to do, was keep on keepin' on, like a bird that flew. Tangled up in blue. Bob Dylan 1976 Ram's Horn Music. D major. Thanks for listening.

Some people enjoy being alone. At the beach, the movies and on vacation, I'm one of those people. Thanks for listening.

What say you about these times we're living in, dear cat owners? Running out of cat litter? Me, too. Thank you for listening.

Some years ago, a dear friend gifted me with a one-quart container of pure Vermont maple syrup. I explained  I was not a big fan because it was too sweet for my taste. I may have kept the conversation short trying to keep her feelings from getting hurt. I had not even open it. Some years later, I opened it. To my delight, this Vermont Grade A Medium Amber syrup was DELICIOUS! Upon her suggest...

TGIF! Kicking off this holiday weekend with great food and wine? That's my desire for you, your friends and family. Thank you for listening.

This is about stocking on food supplies by home cooks during this new surge in covid cases. Panic shopping is back with a run on red meat and other food items. Already there are fewer people inside supermarkets. Many who continue to shop are not wearing masks. Americans are dealing with food shortages this Labor Day weekend trying to stay safe by keeping their distance from other people. This is n...

Wish you were here. Thanks for listening.

There we were face to face with no masks talking about roast beef like two buds without a care in the world. Didn't even occur to me to raise my mask as I showed him a picture of the meat I was looking for on my cellphone. At that moment, we were less than one foot apart. He found it and we parted with a smile. Hope that virus was nowhere in sight. If I do contract the virus, you'll know I died a...

This is my desire for you today that there is peace and tranquility in your world. Seems to me that words of encouragement bring more happiness than playing a musical instrument. Learning to play one inherently needs encouragement. Share the love and find someone to encourage today. Thank you for listening.

Today's episode is about living with pain and suffering. Thank you for listening.

Grieving over loss is a state of mind. If you are grieving today, you are not alone. God loves you and wants you to be happy. The Word of God comes in a book with many chapters about relief from despair and loss. It is about healing troubled minds and living a life of peace and assurance. It is not a psychology book. If you own a Bible, start reading. Even when depression and other disorders are p...

Thank you for listening to this episode about the method I use to alleviate lower back pain that doesn't require exercise equipment or a chiropractor. This method can be done at home without the help of anyone. However, I would keep a phone nearby to call for help in case you can't get up. It works as long as your back muscles are strong. If not, I recommend stretching exercises in a heavy comfort...

Are you listening? It's the sound of a new text message or ring tone on the iPad or smartphone while multitasking throughout the day and night. These devices have many advantages, but can also bring bad news. When the news is good, we are happy. When it isn't, we wonder what happened? Is this turn of events simply a minor distraction or my fault in some way. It might also be meant to set new guide...

When love is real but doesn't seem to last, we "gird our loins" and get on with our lives - or perish. "Gird your loins" is a line from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci. The subtitle is Hell on Heels. Some years ago I wrote a screenplay and entered it in the 7th Annual International Screenplay Competition organized by the American Screenwriters A...

The song was written by Hal David (words) and Burt Bacharach (music)...

Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little. Can barely stand on my feet. Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me. I have spent all my years in believing you. But I just can't get no relief, Lord!  Somebody, somebody. Can anybody find me somebody to love? QUEEN.  Got no feel, I got no rhythm. I just keep losing my beat....
