The New Normal
Strange times right now. I've been saying that for some, thinking it a lot more.

Lyrics Post: “Baba O’Riley”
A LONG time ago I was introduced to this band. An old friend who I'm in touch with still today -- though admittedly, not as frequently as I'd like -- was the one who opened my eyes. Since then, I've seen "for miles and miles...", and so still appreciate the energy and creative sound that …

Here's a little something about my humble club, one of 46,000 in more than 200 countries around the world. 51 years. FIFTY ONE YEARS. We've been …
More Color
I think I need more color in my day. Yes indeed more color, that's what I say. From time to time, I find that rhythm adds a little more color, a little more color, to the day. Often in my shirts and in my sox, splashes of color that really rock. So I’m the day …
