My highschool sweetheart recently contacted me after a number of years without any communication. I won't go into that though, since I'm trying to keep this musically related. However, it has given me an idea for a new series. Since I have always really been into music, I've taken notice of the musical preferences of my significant others. In retrospect, I'm noticing that there is no solid ...

Okay, I'm a sucker for Billy Joel live albums. Ever since high school, I've been a fan of everything he's done. About a year ago I saw "Movin Out" which is quite brilliant and unlike any other musical. On this album there is quite an array of his songs, and "Miami 2017" makes an appearance, one of my favs. So, check it out :)

We're on the Southern State Parkway in Long Island and then the traffic starts getting nasty, so we get off the highway and start driving towards the city on Jericho Turnpike.

Toxic in the Lounge

It doesn't have to be a Tuesday for things to get toxic in 2009. I don't ever recall so many notable deaths in one year, and the year isn't over yet. The list of the celebrated, talented dead increased again in the past couple of days with poet/author/singer-songwriter Jim Carroll meeting his demise by a sudden heart attack and actor/dancer Patrick Swayze expiring after a long hard-fought battl...
