“When people refer to ‘Back in the Day,’ it was a Wednesday. Just a little fun fact for you.”

August 13, 2014

Every Wednesday is GnuFool day on Coffee. He jumps in to fill the gap of no posting from me. Every week he posts great videos of songs, many old ones I remember well. Do check them out and enjoy! You’ll find them in the comments of the last posted picture.

Thanks, Gnu!!

U.S. vs. Ghana: World Cup Soccer

June 16, 2014

Your co-workers will bolt from work early today. Bars will make a killing. And even the most indifferent of your friends will feign a slight interest in the World Cup.

For today, the United States begins its Brazil adventure when it goes toe to toe with its nemesis, Ghana.

 The Black Stars of Ghana haven’t been kind to America’s World Cup soccer aspirations. They knocked out the U.S. from the group stage in 2006 with a 2-1 win. In 2010, the Americans gave them a run for the money. But alas, an extra-time goal from Ghana — in the 93rd minute — sent the U.S. packing once again, 2-1.

Seven players from the 2010 Ghanaian team are back Monday, including the lightning-fast Asamoah Gyan, the team captain.

They’re unpredictable. And the U.S. will have to be ready for anything.

I will be rooting for the US to send Ghana, my second favorite country, packing.

HELP!!!

May 23, 2014

I have been sitting here for 45 minutes listening to what I like to call Noel Paul Stookey song snippets in an attempt to find music for today. Nothing I heard appealed to me. I am stuck and here’s where you come in. Any of you have a favorite song or one you haven’t heard in forever? I’m willing to post Coffee Family Favorites today and save what I don’t post for other days.

Help me out here!

 

Music Slides

April 28, 2014

Okay, these black music slides just appeared. I did nothing different. I figure WordPress is having some issues. The slides play, but they look ugly to me.

Christmas Strumming

December 7, 2012

Mark Anderson, a long time Coffee regular, has published a book, and this is the perfect time to introduce it. The book is called Christmas Songs for the Amateur Guitarist and Low Voices.

Christmas isn’t that far away, but there is still time to learn some carols then gather a few friends, sing for your neighbors while you strum along!

What I Did On My Summer Vacation!

October 4, 2012

I am not having a regular posting today. I just spend over an hour going through the pictures, adding more information and deleting a few duplicates. I saw your comments and went back and made the viewing public so there shouldn’t be a problem. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do, but having an account is unnecessary (I hope). Click twice on the first picture as you’ll then have a black background which is perfect for viewing. Come see my adventure: please comment!

Wednesday Posting!

June 20, 2012

I know, I know. Why am I posting on a Wednesday? Well, I couldn’t let the first day of summer pass: too many great songs, and I wanted to wish you all a happy summer!

 

(This week I’m taking Friday off instead!)

Welcome to Your Year in Music

January 7, 2012

It seems many of us were born the same year so the list of years is shorter than I’d hoped. If you haven’t chimed in yet, please do so.

I made a chronological list and started with the earliest years. The songs here are those which were on the charts the longest. I chose the top two of each year.

The first two are from 1929; the second two are from 1947.

Enjoy! I’ve had fun doing this!

My Weekend Music Needs Your Help!!!

January 5, 2012

Rick Herndon had the most wonderful suggestion. He thought it a great idea to post the number one song from the years of everyone’s births. I like it. Please use the comment section to let me know your year, and I’ll use the weekends to post four songs a day until I finish.
