I’ve recently taken a break from social media, specifically Facebook. I still occasionally look at Instagram and Twitter but I spend much much less time on them. I felt I was getting to caught up in the minutia of the posts and splitting my focus wondering what was going on and recently posted. I realized …
Saw a great blog post on Lifehack that is a must read. It lists the top 20 books you should read if you’re a devotee of productivity or just need to become unstuck in your daily routine. Give it a read here.
In year’s past I’ve spent a pretty good deal of time listening to, writing and playing music. I’ve recently determined something. Today’s music isn’t very good. There is a great deal of evidence to back up that statement. Exhibit A – The radio today. I usually listen to classical or audiobooks while driving but if …
I’ve had the pleasure of owning the new Kevin & Bethany Paige CD “Beautifully Broken” since their performance at our conference in June. After listening to it in it’s entirety I can honestly say it is one of the best start to finish set of songs I have heard in the last 20 years. No kidding. …
It’s said that the title comes from the way 60’s movies have a green tint to them but all I can say is this song has one of the catchiest hooks of anything I’ve heard lately. The song is from Mr Big‘s 1991 album Lean Into It, which also had the hit single To Be With You. Paul Gilbert’s opening guitar work is superb and the vocals are tight, even in the live version linked below. Take a listen and add to your mobile device for listening when you need a quick happy song.

I think Del Amitri‘s ‘Roll To Me’ might be the perfect 2 1/2 minute pop song. Great harmony, groove and the ultimate sing-a-long chorus. Can’t remember where I heard this first but pretty sure it was on FM100 back in the middle 90’s. Take a listen (the video is grainy but the audio is clear).
Most people who know me well know that I love music, I always have and hope always will. Music has the unique ability to transport you to a different time and place along with instantly bringing back memories. So what better series of posts related to memories than a few posts on my favorite songs. …
Can’t really tell if this is legit but with Bruce Lee’s talents I wouldn’t doubt it.
