I will take a couple of Detours from Midsummer Night's Dreams in this Chapter.

Heading down two different paths!

First, a quick Shakespearean Remedial Course, beginning with a couple of actors not know for singing.…

I have more Midsummer Night's Dreams, don't you?

We should ALL have Dreams for a LONG time to come!

If I say, "The stuff that Dreams are made of", no doubt you will think of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon.…

More Midsummer Night's Dreams.

There are different Types of Dreams- and hopefully during the course of this Series I will touch on all of them!

The two most Memory Challenging Songs in this Chapter will be one by a gentleman named Bram…

We are having a bit of Summer fun with Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is a Comedy.

This Chapter contains a couple of Numbered Dreams.

One of them dates back to the old Free-Form FM Radio days, it was too long for AM…

It's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Dreams can be defined in various forms, sometimes we are awake for them.

But the first kind we think of, the most obvious one, requires Sleep.

You have to Sleep before you can Dream!…

This is something I've been wanting to do for years, steal from William Shakespeare, lol!

Or at least borrow.

This will be my Series Of The Summer, or the Midsummer.

Shakespeare wrote the Comedy A…

Rockollections Goes To The Movies returns to the great Movies and Music of the 60's- I can't get out because I keep thinking of more terrific flicks and accompanying songs!…

Continuing on with the Rockollections Goes To The Movies Series, as I am inclined to do I thought I would take a detour.

Movie Stars!…

It was the 50th Anniversary of the July 21st 1969 Moon Landing just a few days ago, and I have been playing Moon Songs.

You want to write one?

The opening Song tells you how.

And then we will Go To The…

Give me a week and I'll think of a bunch more of Man On The Moon Songs.

I am still celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the July 21st 1969 Moon Landing!

The first Song in this Chapter I hadn't intended to play, but I changed my mind after dealing…

We are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of July 21st 1969, Man On The Moon

And it occurred to me how Proprietary we are about the Moon.

States, Cities, Countries all claim it for their own!

So that's where we…

These next 2 Chapters are the closest to the 50th Anniversary of July 21st 1969.

When Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left the Lunar Module The Eagle, and for the First Time Ever Humans Walked On Another Celestial Body, The Moon!

And let's…

Not getting ahead of myself, for we haven’t even landed yet, but my recollection is that for the Flight Back To Earth, Apollo 11 had to go behind the back of the Moon- thereby cutting themselves off from contact with Mission Control in Houston.

And of course all the rest of…

Here is the first Chapter of a Series inspired by the 50th Anniversary of The First Humans To Walk On The Moon.

It had been 7 years since President John Kennedy’s speech targeting the goal of doing that before the end of the decade, and…

As the 4th Of July fast approaches, I'll go off on a mini-rant on Patriotism.

What the hell happened to it?

This country has done more good in the world than any other.

And continues to do so.

It's not taught in the schools anymore, but our History has never been easier to get.

All…

We are just a couple of days away from Independence Day...or the 4th Of July for those who haven't connected them!

Alright, enough of that- I'll save my rowdy ways for Part Two, in this here Part One I am nice.

I have mentioned before that…

One thing I'd like to clear up before anything else, I didn't mean to mislead anyone in the previous half hour- the Johnny Horton song, Sink The Bismark, was used in U.S. theater trailers for the film, it…

As I continue our Series, I felt that it was necessary to include Adult Movies...I mean why not?

Not that I've ever seen one, lol!…

Maybe not the nicest Weather this week in NYC, but Here Comes Summer anyway!

And an old favorite of mine to get us started for this second half.

The Muse carried me along to the subject of Beaches, so let’s listen to some Songs about Beaches With…

It is just days away, June 21st it Officially Becomes Summertime!

Music to welcome it is what I've got here, with a few Summer Show Traditions.

Vacations are starting to be taken, maybe at your job- they are at mine.…
