Go Away - "Fly Away"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48639) • Denver, Colorado 29 Oct

We’ve just three songs left before Go Away goes away. Forever. (The “forever” sounds better if you read it in the voice of Squints from The Sandlot.) Anyway, time for some classic 90’s funk rock, courtesy of the...

Go Away - "Take Me Away"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48639) • Denver, Colorado 28 Oct

We have officially walked away for the last time. We’re also back into classic rock territory for the second day in a row, albeit from a different decade. “Take Me Away” was a single from Blue Oyster Cult’s 1983 album, [i]The...

Laughter on Halloween

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Oct

Two comedians and actors, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, were known for their work on radio, film, and TV and were one of the most popular comedy teams of the 1940s and 1950s. Two films they made are comedy mixed with horror and...

Woman Totally Obsessed

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 27 Oct

Obsessed crazy woman number four. Portraying a totally demented woman Glen Close did a great job. She made me jump when she appeared. This is the one movie that should teach everyone if you have a good life and loving family but...

Raving Mad Fan

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Oct

Crazy woman number 3. This film is based on the novel by Stephen King. Kathy Bates did such a good job in scaring the heck out of me and everyone who watched this film that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress and this is...

ChatGPT to the rescue

Judy Evans @JudyEv (390555) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Oct

The photo is of the Nungarin Hotel. It’s typical of our country hotels although there is little need for such lovely big buildings nowadays. The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. I know not everyone likes AI but we...

It's Ladies Night - "Sentimental Lady"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48639) • Denver, Colorado 8 Oct

I’ve written before about songs that have more than one life, in this very series, even. And today’s tune is no exception. Written by vocalist Bob Welch for his first wife, “Sentimental Lady” was first performed by Welch as a...

When Hitchcock Decided to Look Into the Mind of Norman

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Oct

Director Alfred Hitchcock was a genius; there is no other way to look at it. He could take something ordinary and make it so it scared you to death. It was amazing what he did with "Psycho," and now this film is a good addition to...

Love at First Bite

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Oct

We cannot spend all of the spooky season scaring ourselves to death, so some comic relief in-between is welcome. I absolutely love this movie with a dark and handsome George Hamilton playing the fangy Dracula. The film “Love at...

Horror of Dracula

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Oct

This horror film from 1958, "The Horror of Dracula," has one of the greatest Dracula actors, Christopher Lee. The film includes Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, and in my mind I always picture him with a stake ready to attack the...

It's Ladies Night - "You Are My Lady"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48639) • Denver, Colorado 7 Oct

I was planning on using this song, but not necessarily this morning. However, with yesterday's news that R&B singer Freddie Jackson had passed away on October 5th, I’ve moved it up in the rotation. Freddie Jackson was born in...

Wildflowers next door - but not to us

Judy Evans @JudyEv (390555) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

Our niece lives in the hills above Perth, next to a vacant block with natural bush quite close by. We’ve been hanging out trying to find some wildflowers when all we needed to do was visit her! It’s not quite that simple, of...

Nosferatu

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 Oct

Just right for spooky season and for horror movie fans. This is a silent film, but who needs sounds when a spooky vampire is on the loose unless you’re screaming? The film "Nosferatu" dates from 1922 and features a vampire who...

Fright Night

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101916) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Oct

The original 1985 movie is the best and just right for the spooky season. By the time the vampire in the movies says, “Welcome to fright night, for real," you are ready to head out the door. The film is about a teenager named...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (390555) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep

Recent legislation is about to ban the use of good character references when a person is brought before the courts for certain offences. The use of such references often resulted in a reduced sentence for convicted persons. A...
