New year, new countdown! This time around, the stars are twinkling for us! Late last year @RasmaSandra asked for a “stars” song countdown. And now I fulfill that request.

@DocAndersen — I know the feeling. I built a cage to hold my thoughts, and they hid the key to the door so now I can’t get to them.

It’s sad that there’s a couple of generations who only know Crosby as “singing a Christmas song with David Bowie.” He wasn’t “my generation’s music,” but that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate him.

He definitely had a voice for the ages. That’s why his version of “White Christmas” is the biggest-selling record of all time. You can get 50,000,000,000,000 recordings of it, but there’s only one Bing Crosby.

It rained all day, and I don’t think the temperature moved. That’s what they call a “stable environment,” which meant no storms. Thank God!!!!!!
