Song In My Head... You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Believe it - my grandpa had this album. As a result of a mixed up Christmas present he would not give it up!

Slapping the vinyl on the record player was one of the first things I did when I landed up at his place.

Song In My Head... And Maybe Forgiveness

... will ask us to call, someone we've loved, someone we've lost, for reasons we can't quite recall

My new favorite Christmas Carol.

Found this version of Ron Sexsmith's Maybe This Christmas by done by Tracey Thorn on a cd I picked up at Starbucks called Under the Mistletoe.

The lyrics are pretty universal  - not entirely - however, there is a good message if you want to receive it.

Perhaps you too will add it to your collection of just good tunes - or not. Enjoy Maybe This Christmas as posted on YouTube.

Song In My Head... Take Two Minutes Would You Mind

In Flanders Fields (Photo credit: Thorsten Hansen)

 

Had the priviledge of meeting and working with Terry Kelly several years ago at the concert Let Peace Reign and Music Thunder (Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice at St. Paul's College).

 

This song was written by Kelly after an experience on Rememberance Day when an young father was out shopping with his daughter and he wouldn't stop for two minutes of silence to honour those who fought and continue to fight for freedom.

 

It's a simple thing being able to post on this blog and express some of my rambling thoughts and ideas. Some in this world don't have that opportunity; especially women. I do because of people like William Goodwill.

Today, I remember and reflect; and realize every day is a choice. Here is Canada's Terry Kelly singing A Pittance of Time as posted on YouTube.

Of course, I end with ThInQ About It!
