“To live you have to experiment, to have the ability to experiment you have to have confidence, to have confidence you have to be loved, to be loved you have to love.” –Pete Seeger I hope Mr. Seeger won’t mind my use of his photo and wonderful words. It just seemed fitting today. Aren’t we [...]
Anything I might have planned to say has been trumped by the devastating earthquake in Japan. But as I can’t really add anything new, I’ll leave that to the journalists already on it. I will add that I was very, very moved while watching the “home” videos taken during the shaker. Too close to home. [...]
Born today, in 1913, was film and television star Loretta Young. As a child, I adored this beautiful, versatile actress, and faithfully watched her program, “The Loretta Young Show” (1953 – 1961).

I am one of Pavlov’s pups when it comes to this song by Edwin McCain. “I’ll Be” (see below) and “I Could Not Ask For More” set standards for romance in popular music. Read (and hear!) more about this soulful troubadour at his website. Turn up (or down, as the case may be) your speakers [...]
