This week I’ve been a little below the radar due to the fact that I’ve been teaching music in my church’s Vacation Bible School. Each day I’ve had three rotations of children coming through my choir room, singing, dancing, signing, having an absolute blast! As near as I can tell, I’ve had somewhere between 150 – 170 [...]

I’ve had a lot of hits recently on last year’s post about the Georgia Sales Tax holiday and decided I needed to find out when this year’s holiday was scheduled. In case you weren’t aware of it, for [...]

Did you know? – Hand Sanitizer Safety

Many times, over the years, I’ve received forwards in my inbox that looked serious and important enough to pass along, only to find afterwards that they were “urban legends,” or hoaxes. I’ve learned that it’s only a quick type of the keys to visit Snopes.com to see if there is any basis of fact, before [...]

Last week I shared a video from Great Britain about a shy, humble man named Paul Potts who simply loves to sing. According to Paul, music and singing – his voice – has been his best friend since he was a young boy, coping with bullies at school. He entered the British version of “American [...]

To live up to “his image”
As protector and provider
And “hero of the scrimmage”…
And perhaps [...]

Over the past several years, I have avoided the American Idol craze. I freely confess that I’m a fuddy-duddy when it comes to what I think qualifies as “talented” and “gifted”. In my humble opinion, many of those “winners” were there only because they could sing the loudest, longest, strongest, etc. It didn’t necessarily translate [...]

WordPress.com is an amazing group of people who constantly seek to give their members the best, the newest, the greatest tools for blogging that you can find anywhere. Recently, I was able to upload video clips from my piano studio’s Spring Recital to Youtube.com, but I didn’t want to place them in a series of [...]
