A new idea sometimes is just a combination of a few great ideas. Even if they may sound weird to start. Cheddar Cheese and Apple Pie. Fries and Maple Syrup. Peanut Butter on bacon. What happens when you take Gilligan, add the music of Led Zeppelin and an internet famous clown with an amazing singing voice? You […]

Does anybody here remember?
“Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again…some summer day.” You may recognize those words from music by Pink Floyd (The Wall, 1979. One of the best albums EVER!!! IMHO) Well, Vera Lynn passed away yesterday at 103. She was a Dame (female knight), best known for her songs […]
Are you out of tune?
Double standards never lead to happiness. Today in 1859, France passed a standard for the central “A” music note to be 435hz. Prior to this there weren’t any standards; Beethoven played over a half note higher. The note continued to climb; as high as 480hz. Singers complained; strings snapped…so in 1939, a frequency of 440hz […]

It was a day when something almost DIDN’T happen. Martin Luther King Jr decided the day before to drop “I have a dream” from his speech. While giving his 5 minute […]
Will you take the EXTRA Leap?
#2020 is a leap year. What can you do with the extra 24 hours? Will you take that extra time and do the extra work? Not because you’ll get extra props or credit…but because you can. Props to Taylor Swift. She took some extra time (5 days I believe) to write/produce/record/release a Christmas song. Why? […]

Happy Birthday to Jazz! It’s not Buddy Bolden’s special day…Buddy is the guy who shared a new sound back in 1895 in New Orleans having the brass section play the blues…it was called Jazz.

Who is your rockstar?
I use the term rockstar occasionally in my posts. Who are the Rockstars? People who create their art because it’s right for them. It could be music, painting, #sport, #business…even the sharing ideas. They do so despite the headwinds. There are always people thinking they’re better; say you are going to fail; just negative to be negative. As Taylor sings: “Haters gonna hate.” The rockstar […]
