39. you want to go antiquing

Song Blog

I learned about Jonathan Coulton from Anna and Jason who do a weekly podcast I like. They mentioned him in passing – saying they missed his last concert, but had seen him recently, so I checked him out. I’m glad I did.

Last year he wrote a song a week. He called it Thing a Week and uploaded it to his website for free download. My favorite is Creepy Doll, although RE Your Brains is a lot of fun too.

Check out his You page for links for videos and other multimedia that people have made using his music. Some are are a hoot.

Here is a YouTube video of him performing Creepy Doll.

37. Mistaken identity

Song Blog,

Stealing this one from Deloney –

On the way to Savannah we did something unusual. We stopped for lunch at a sit-down restaurant.

It was Ruby Tuesday’s (Cracker Barrel, next door, had a long line).

Clare wanted to know why it was called Ruby Tuesday – Why Tuesday and not Sunday or Monday. I enlightened her.

Watching Deloney’s link for B kiddo, I discovered I was mistaken – and now I need to tell Clare it was not the Beatles but the Rolling Stones.

Oops.

(Could I tell her it was a lame April Fools joke?)

36. Savannah on my mind…

Song Blog

Completely cheating on this one.

I have no history with this song, but maybe I have a future. I’ve never been to Georgia (except to drive through it on the way to Florida, picking up fire ants on the way)

I’ve had Georgia on my mind for the past few weeks since we decided to visit Savannah and Tybee Beach for our kids Spring Break. So there you have it. I may or may not be around until after Easter Sunday.

Ray Charles – go at it.
