@marty308 This is a great song from their greatest album The Wall. In my personal opinion, I think David Gilmour (who composed the song) had an all-time top 10 guitar solo in this song, but Rolling Stone doesn't even have it rated in the top 150 (mind-blowing if you ask me) what a farce.  Thanks for posting, take care and GOD bless... ...

Good Thursday morning dear friend, here is another weird and true fact about New Year's. The confetti dropped in Times Square is holding secret messages. The confetti in Times Square has thousands of people's wishes written on them. In 2015 "wishfetti" became a part of the tradition. People write their wishes for the new year and submit them to the Wish Wall in Times Square (or online) and those wishes are turned into the confetti that falls over the crowd at midnight. Have a great day, take care and GOD bless...   ... View more

@Mrodeo15 you were given great advice by your late grandfather. I have met two people in my life who never spoke a negative word about anyone, and that included the people who they never got along with. All they said about those whom they did not get along with was this..."Not everyone you come across in your life's path will like you or see eye to eye with you, no matter how nice you are to them or how good you speak about them, some people were just meant to come across your path to be a thorn in your side, so instead of wasting negative energy on those few just carry on with your life in the most positive way so they cannot affect you with their negativity." Those two people in my life were Clara Carkees my grandmother on my mom's side and a family friend Mary Higgins both have passed on, but both were a great influence on many that have crossed their paths in life, and both were beautiful souls...

Good evening, dear friend, I do hope your Monday has been wonderful.  Dear friend, not every hardship, every heartbreak, or the setback that life throws at you will have the right answer as to why. Why now, why me? Searching for answers will seem endless, and searching for emotional relief will always seem to elude you, making it feel like the whole world has come against you. Friend when this happens, or if it is you right now then please know you are not alone. Many others have walked that same path and have come out on the other side stronger than they could have ever imagined. You just need to continue taking one step at a time and one breath at a time before you know it you will come to the end of that nightmare that was meant to break you. Instead of breaking you, it has shaped you into a better, wiser, and much stronger you. Just keep pushing forward my friend. Have a great night, take care and GOD bless...   ... View more

Good Monday afternoon, welcome to Weird and True Facts. Sticking with the New Year theme until the end of the month. The Finns do it the weirdest...In Finland, each new year family and friends gather to burn metal in a pan for a ritual called "molybdomancy". The Finns inspect the shadows the metal casts by candlelight, as those shapes are supposed to predict the future. Although, this metal is customarily called “tin,” it’s sometimes lead, which, among other things, is known to spark severe mental illness... that might explain why this ritual has persisted for hundreds of years. And while that's all pretty well and weird, the Finns aren't alone: Ecuadorians burn paper-filled scarecrows, the Swiss drop ice cream on the floor, and people in Siberia plunge into frozen lakes while carrying a tree trunk -- all to ring in the new year.

Good Monday afternoon, or morning if that is where you are still stuck. Sorry for the two-week absence but I was battling a wicked chest cold that turned into pneumonia, but I'm back to me old self, as the Irish would say... Did you hear about the guy who stole the New Year's Calendar? No...Well, not to worry he got 12 months.  Have a great Monday, take care and GOD bless...       ... View more

Good Tuesday afternoon dear friend, here is another weird and true fact about New Year's.  If you hear plates breaking in Denmark on New Year’s Eve, it’s considered good luck. The Danes hold a tradition of throwing plates at the front door of family and friends’ homes to welcome good fortune for the new year.

Good Tuesday afternoon. I will be adding three songs to the GSOTD post and Playlist. Enjoy the music. Pop/Pop Rock/Classic Rock: Rock'n Me by Steve Miller Band. "Rock'n Me" (also known as "Rock 'N Me" or "Rock 'N' Me") is a song by American rock band Steve Miller Band, released in 1976 from the band's ninth studio album Fly Like an Eagle  (1976). It was written by primary band leader and songwriter Steve Miller and released as the second single from the album. Miller also produced the song and album. The North American release of the single was generally credited to Steve Miller as an individual. In contrast, the European release was generally credited to the Steve Miller Band as a whole group. The song achieved lasting commercial and critical success, with Billboard labeling it "an immediate audience grabber". It became the band's second #1 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed at the top for one week, it also topped the Canadian RPM  Top Singles chart. In later years, the song has been included in several compilation albums such as 1978's Greatest Hits 1974–78  and 1991's The Very Best of the Steve Miller Band. Adult Contemporary/Singer-songwriter: Goodnight Moon by Shivaree. "Goodnight Moon" is a song by American alternative rock band Shivaree, written by Ambrosia Parsley and Duke McVinnie. It is the seventh track on the band's debut album, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump  (1999) and was released as the band's debut single on March 24, 2000. The song topped the Italian Singles Chart and became a top-30 hit in France. Shivaree has not had another such hit, making them a one-hit wonder.  Alternative/Alternative Pop/Electronica/Folktronica/Pop/Oslo: Cherry Came Too by Flunk. Flunk is a Norwegian electronic band consisting of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, vocalist Anja Øyen Vister, and bassist Ole Kristian Wetten. Drummer Erik Ruud played with the band between 2012 and 2020. Have a great Tuesday, take care and GOD bless...   ... View more
