One Nice Thought

Musicians around the world write and play music that evokes emotions of all kinds.

Born prior to 1964? Strut your stuff! Music stuff, that is

55-Alive! is having a contest for musicians who were born before 1964 – and there are a lot of us out there! Wait, I am not a musician, I am the antithesis of a musician, but you are, I bet. You have a bit of time to enter your digital music video, and if [...]

No, not today, but my new computer should be here in time to have pictures for next week!  It has been a long time with no pictures to post! I’ll have to get the blog roll again, too! I cannot wait!
