Here's me, copping J.S. Bach's style. I call it "Bach, Bach, Bach" you know, for Spring!

Is It Time For a New iPod-like Audio Player?

Yes. Yes, it is. (See, at least I hit the clickbait payoff button quick!) I know, I know, you will scoff and snort at the idea of a dedicated MP3 player. You will consider me a relic and remind me that the MP3 is officially dead. Even though, you probably…

Not All Christmas Songs Are Happy

One Less Stocking by Michael St. James Sometimes Christmas is not about the presents you get, but about those who can no longer be present. This is for my momma, Louise. This is for anyone who has lost someone and is missing them this year and every year. Holiday places,…
