Hi friends – my sincere apology for not updating you with a fresh posting for so long.  To say it’s been a busy time in my life would be an understatement.  I’ll tell you all about it now. I’ve decided to make a few changes in my life – pretty big changes – but all for Read More

We’re in ‘the windy month of March’, and looking forward to ‘April showers’ to bring forth those ‘May flowers’ - isn’t that how the old saying goes ?  I for one, can’t wait. How’s your winter been ?  It was OK, nothing terrible, although there were a few storms and lots of cold weather – I just Read More

It must be Valentine’s Day – or something !   Perhaps it’s realizing we’re past the halfway mark of winter, and as every day gets a little longer, the sun stays out a bit more, and some days are actually getting a bit warmer – I sense springtime is just a few more snowfalls away.  So Read More

As I prepare my weekly show – ‘Vintage Favourites” – airing Sundays 2-4pm., I do a lot of research among a variety of music and historic sources.  As you may know, ‘Vintage Faves’ focuses on the music from the “vintage era” – the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 1960s.  Each Sunday I take a look Read More

Well happy new year; welcome to 2011 !  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and really enjoyed family and friends.  My daughters came up from NYC for a nice week-long stay, and my son popped by Christmas Eve for a great family get-together.  So what’d we do ?  We watched 6 movies in 2 Read More

So are you the kind of person who just LOVES everything about Christmas, can’t wait for it to arrive, start buying gifts months earlier, and have most everything wrapped up by now … OR would you be called a “grinch” – bah humbug to caroles and tinsel and all this “commercial-stuff” ?  Or perhaps, you’re Read More

As we look to the final days of No-No-November, we wish our American friends “Happy Thanksgiving”, and to everyone in the retail world – “Best Wishes for Big Sales“.  This is the unofficial start of the pre-Christmas sales orgy. May you find what you’re looking for, and may you keep within your ability to pay.  Read More

Well we’re in it now !  The month of November – I never liked it, and like it even less now – let me tell you why – but first let me quote a terrific little poem on the subject. It’s by Thomas Hood: No sun – no moon ! No morn – no noon !  Read More

Well that’s the “magic” of radio – when some on-air performers go on vacation, you hear folks filling in for them. But, when some of us go away for a break, we record our shows ahead of time, and try to make it sound like we’re still here – and that’s what I did for Read More
