Let's rock and roll!

I thought that I would bring out my inner rocker with this classic by the J. Geils Band.

For us in the US of A, this is a short week, and I want to start it off with a bang!

That's one of those songs where, if you aren't tapping or singing along or on your feet...man, check your pulse!

I've seen a lot of 70's and 80's bands live, but missed J Giels somehow. their concert sounds like party!

I went to a J. Geils concert once and although they are a great live band I ended up having to leave the concert because of some inconsiderate concert goers. First was because the guy behind me was so drunk he spent the majority of the concert trying to keep his beer down and rather than get a backfull of Budweiser I vacated my seat. Second was due to the amount of Wacky Weed being smoked in the old Richfield Coliseum. I am highly allergic to that crap and ended up out on the concourse trying to breathe. A deputy told me to go back and sit down and I told him why I was out there and asked why didn't they do something about all the pot smoking. His reply was "What do you want me to do, arrest the whole place?" I that point I left and never went back to see anything at the Coliseum ever again.

Funny thing though, the ushers could always keep a handle on the cigarette smoking at the Cavs games.

Concerts at the Coliseum got themselves a bad rap, especially after Led Zeppelin.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
