Best song ever

Below you'll find a video clip of what I think is just about the best song ever...instrumental at least. It's called "Here's That Rainy Day." It was one of Johnny Carson's favorites. The clip I found was recorded from the tribute show for Carson on Letterman in January 2005.

Before, I was ok with the song...but this arrangement is spectacular. Definitley worth checking out.

I remember watching this episode of Letterman, because I was a big Carson fan, and am glad I have finally found a good version of this moment of TV history (you don't see this type of stuff on late night TV, and it's a shame).

The orchestra playing is, I believe, either from Toronto or Montreal, along with Doc Severinsen, Tommy Newsom and Ed Shaughnessy.

Ernesto

Looks like I might dodge covering another hurricane... Ernesto looks as if it may be someone elses problem, which is just fine with me. However, I'm not betting anything until it gets back into the gulf...so we shall see. Keep an eye on Ernie here.

I bought a new cell phone! My old phone was on its last leg...and wouldn't pick up squat. I can actually get the volume turned up loud enough! I'm happy with it.

Anyway, enjoy the late, great Mitch Hedburg.

Randomness

Do you ever have those kind of dreams where you can see something you recognize...but don't 'recognize' it? Say for instance you have a dream about a family vacation...you see everything vividly...but you can't remember where in the hell it was.

I have those dreams while I'm wide awake. Many days I will think of something I remember from childhood...can remember plainly where I was and who I was with...but forget major parts of the memory... I can remember watching MTV (when they still showed music videos) and I can remember various scenes of videos...but can't for the life of me remember what the song was...what the lyrics were...or the band.

It's the trouble of being a child of the 80's...thanks to TV, I can't remember too much of what I watch for a long period of time.

So, since I have this new love for youtube...I think of some random things and see what I run across. Tonight, I ran across a music video that has been in my mind for YEARS...only certain scenes...I could barely remember what group it was... You'll see the video below... I haven't seen it since, at least, the mid 80's...maybe late 80's... Somehow, it's been stuck in my head ALL THESE YEARS! ;)

This video was made back when 80's music was cool...but in many cases stupid...ESPECIALLY the videos... In many cases, the music videos and the songs being sung didn't go together very well... Also, for my TV friends...see if you can catch the bad edit in the first minute of the song...today's technology would make it look like there wasn't an edit...and insert fireworks! ;) Enjoy...you'll probably want your four minutes you're about to waste back!

Been on vacation

I took a few more days off in an effort to clear my mind and get myself back to normal. Life has been a bit of a blur for the last few months...and I'm quite glad it's about to slow down.

I'll be going back to work tomorrow with the fact my desktop computer at work isn't working right...and I probably got more calls from work in five days then I do in six months at home. I'm not happy about that and plan on fixing the problem soon.

Otherwise, I've pretty much made a "decision" on where I'll be in six months. I'm at peace with the decision...so there! ;)

BTW...I wasn't exactly "smashed" each day (except Sunday) while I was at the beach...but I was pretty close!

Enjoy the following... Please note...it is a bit lengthy, but pretty darn funny.

Some News...

It has been a while, so I'll get you up to date. My station, which has been up for sale since April, has been sold. Now, I can make my decision...but after a few things that have happened in the past week, I still don't have a clue on what to do. I prefer to stay put, but it's not looking like that's going to happen. I'll make more updates as the next two-three weeks progress.

I get word today another tropical storm has brewed in the Atlantic and seem to be headed toward the gulf. My luck, it will be a hurricane to affect areas I'll get sent out to. I'll update that later this week.

Anyway, enjoy the video...I feel as if I've lost my mind lately! ;)
