For Rick – On Musical Monday
Back when I lived in WeHo (West Hollywood), I had a boyfriend named Rick for one torrid summer. Don’t know how we met; think it was through his friend and later roommate, Steve, when I bumped into the two of them at an Asian Food Festival. It’s weird that I suddenly can’t remember the first … Continue reading
I Love Me Some Buckwheat!
Since I heard a zydeco band at the North Beach Festival on Saturday, I’ve spent part of this evening listening to zydeco music again and thought it appropriate for this Musical Monday. I have no idea where my love of zydeco music began, but it REALLY, REALLY makes me think of (and miss) New Orleans. … Continue reading
Who Remembers This on Musical Monday?
I thought a little Gregorian chant-inspired music was in order. This, for some reason, reminds me of my days in West Hollywood, particularly when I’d go partying with Muffy in Pasadena. “Sadeness” by Enigma
A Completely Different Genre

Holy Smokes, Batman!
I forgot Musical Monday again, and it’s already Friday! Apparently, Motown night at The Dragon Upstairs got me all distracted. Therefore, as an ode to the songstress that didn’t know this song, I’m gonna’ put down a little Grace Jones for you peeps. I remember this as being quite popular in WeHo (LOL!) “Pull Up … Continue reading
OMG, Becky! I Almost Forgot…
Musical Monday. Granted, it’s Tuesday, so I’m late! Whatever! Here it is. This song reminds me of my first trip to Paris. Johnny was driving me to the airport and we were singing along to this quite loudly ’cause we were cool like that! “Story of My Life” – Social Distortion
