Only 16 days left… Lyrics: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I’m found, Was blind, but now I see. ’twas Grace that taught, my heart to fear. And grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear, […]

Only 17 days left… Lyrics: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Praise Him in glad adoration. Praise to the Lord, who over all things […]
It Is Well With My Soul is my favorite hymn. The history of it moves my soul. It will be sung when I leave this earth.
Only 19 days left… Lyrics: There is sunshine in my soul today, More glorious and bright Than glows in any earthly sky, For Jesus is my light. Refrain: O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine, While the peaceful, happy moments roll; When Jesus shows His smiling face There is sunshine in my […]
Revive Us Again, like all hymns has a very interesting back story. This hymn centers around a doctor and a found Bible.
In 1868, a pharmacist named Sanford Fillmore Bennett, 31, was filling prescriptions and handling sales at his apothecary in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. His friend Joseph Webster entered the store. Joseph was a local musician, vocalist, violinist, and amateur composer who suffered from periods of depression. The two men had occasionally collaborated on […]
Jesus Loves Me starts off how I will end this project. From this time on, until day 365, I will be singing nothing but hymns to give thanks to God.
Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog (and company) is,..well,..the only song I know of them. Yep, I like the tune, but haven't heard anything else by the group.
I Am Machine is a song about being so numb inside that you need to cut yourself to feel something,..anything. It’s a place where I was many, many years ago. I Am Machine expresses a state of being that really has no state of being. It’s a place that I […]
I was watching the Netflix movie "I Am Not Your Guru" (a FANTASTIC flick BTW) and all the while I was wondering, "can Tony's voice take any more?" The movie reminded me of the warm-ups I do everyday.
Nick Winter's "Star Wars",..yeah...Bill Murray's rendition has been forever stuck in my mind since 1978. Such a cultural influence on a 10 year old boy
Cheek To Cheek, a gorgeous song that really stuck in my after seeing the movie “The Green Mile“. Cheek To Cheek was the song that started the story of John Coffey form the movie “The Green Mile“. When the movie starts, the protagonist Paul Edgecomb (played by Tom Hanks) is […]
Silent Noon, another song from Ralph Vaughn Williams song cycle "The House of Life", was a favorite of mine in college (Go Griffins).
Who Can It Be Now, a song that is missing just one thing, me playing sax. I never was that good, but the song was fun to try.
Only 31 days left… Lyrics: Wheels on the bus go round and round Round and round, round and round The Wheels on the bus go round and round All ’round the town The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish The wipers on […]
With Or Without You, a song by one of the greatest bands that ever existed, U2, is a song that every love sick person has heard at least once. With Or Without You was a song that I’ll always associate with a certain young girl in high school. She was […]
"Walk For A Dog" is an app that helps you keep healthy and supports your local animal shelter. I give it 4 PAWS out of 5. Here's my review.
Her power is growing and she is no longer content with peaceful co-existence. Max and I try to hide from her wrath, but it’s only a matter of time. NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! I will not sacrifice the household. We’ve made too many compromises already, too many retreats. Hermione invades our space, […]
Every Breath You Take, a song by The Police is etched in my head because of great songwriting by Sting. Every Breath You Take was a song that came out during my high school years at a time when I was infatuated with a girl that I thought I would […]
