Deep In The Forrest

Today, I'm keeping it simple... and in keeping with the April NaBloPoMo Theme of "Letters" , I thought I would dig back into Music's grand archives and present some Classic songs about Love Letters. 1. Elvis Presley - Love Letters (Straight From Your Heart) 2. Patsy Cline - Love Letters In The Sand There you go, hope you enjoy those. Not everyone enjoys older music, I am pretty eclectic myself. I say you can't be a musician of any substance without studying and at least "giving respect" to our musical forefathers. We wouldn't be anything without them. Lastly, it's not really Friday (since it is Thursday), but Thursday happens to be my 'technical Friday' this week, since we have the MLK holiday tomorrow... the City-observed holiday. So 3 day weekend for me, for everyone else, T.I.N.F., eh? Don't forget, participating in NaBloPoMo, I have to post daily throughout April, so I'll be here every day, posting something. Whether you are h...

Anyone else ever feel like some phenomenon "Stalks" them from time-to-time? For me, it has long been The King of Rock and Roll, a.k.a. "Big E", that's right... Elvis. I started to notice it one day when I was driving peacefully down the interstate when I looked over and saw a humongous, hulking Elvis-face billboard glaring at me. Although slightly dizzied, and taken aback, I continued my safe driving. Then I went into a music store, and saw even more Elvis faces looking at me slyly with that crooked grin. "WTF?!?" I thought... "What's with this? Why am I seeing him everywhere I go?" It never seemed to let up (and I'm not even "into" Elvis!) My best friend, Tamra and I (and I think I've mentioned this before) began noticing that he was increasingly everywhere! Shopping in the store, he was on a box of candy. Shopping for clothing, he was on T-shirts and souvenirs. Magazines, Books, Calendars, Wall Hangings, of course CDs ...

Friday is here, and I am glad for that. I'm not going to think about how fast the weekend might pass, or what I might not get done this weekend, but rather think positively about the limitless possibilities that the hours ahead of me might hold. I'll still try to think of some great things I'd like to do before the weekend is through, and save my negative rants for Monday (where they belong). Fridays are for dreaming, and reminiscing, and fantasizing of things that make your spirit soar... so let's plan our [mental] escape, and start packing now. Take a hot air balloon ride over the fantasy place of your choice, or hope on a riverboat and see where it takes you. Today is all about you (me, you know--US!) So let's just milk it for all it's worth and enjoy! The weather is fine, and even though we're expecting rain tomorrow it would be a great day to take a long walk down by the river. Or if I had my way, and had the time and the ability to I think I would pro...
