New Video Song Added – Color My World

I remember my cousin Reggie and I trying to learn this song.
We were so upset that our fingers couldn’t reach the chord fingering stretches.
It was so simple, yet so hard.
Well, for us beginners.

After all these years, I finally had the courage to re-learn it
and play it here.

But to be honest,
this wasn’t really the song I wanted to record today.

I started playing something else
and my thoughts just jumped from one thing to another.
Everything just went in tangents.
I really must be getting old.

Anyways.
Here’s
Color My World
Music by – Chicago
Covered by – yours truly.

Please don’t mind the mistake at the end.
I am too lazy to redo it.

Lyrics start here:

Old man

A friend told me yesterday,
now that I have reached my age,
I will start to “Not Care” about stupid things I cared about when I was younger.

I think I have been preparing myself for this,
because quite frankly, I really haven’t been paying attention to anyone’s bullshit.

And of course,
here’s my obligatory “another year older” cover song.

I’m so old, I’m gonna have to start driving slow and yell at kids
to get off my lawn!

And start smelling like Ben Gay or Kaopectate.

Pilot of the Airwaves

…here is my request.
You don’t have to play it but I hope you’d do your best.
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio.
And you seem like a friend to me.

I too grew up in the generation of the Radio.
Well, I meant how radio was, in the 80’s and 90’s.

There were no iPods, no Napsters, and no easy iTunes
where anyone can download their favourite songs readily and easily.

Picture TBT

Here a little throwback for Thursday.

This was in Atlantic City, NJ when a pink Cadillac flew into the Hard Rock.

This must be around ’98 or ’99.
I don’t know.
I’m so old I can’t remember anymore.

World Cancer Day

Today is World Cancer Day.

Remembering all those who fought and lost.
Those who fought and won.
And those who are still fighting.

Hoping there would be a cure
At least in my lifetime.

I have always said,
Whenever I die, I am going to have a little chat with whoever invented this horrible disease.
They’ve got some explaining to do.
