YouTube Friday: Andy Gibb - Everlasting Love

The video I decided to share with you all is from the YouTube Channel of JoseAlvarado24. It's of the song "Everlasting Love" by the late Andy Gibb. I heard this song on the radio, and this is a great song with a danceable beat to it. I like hearing the "rarely heard oldies, as you probably know by now. I like listening to the songs of the '70s, '80s and '90s, and even into the early '00s. What are your favorite types of music?

Busing it

I saw this bus for Tutor Time Child Care center as I was running errands, and I decided to check out their website to see what they were all about, since I've only seen them on a couple of occasions in the past. Tutor time takes care of kids from 6 weeks to 12 years (before/after school care for older kids and day care/preschool for the young ones). The bus shown here reminds me of the vans and buses that used to come to my school as a kid to pick up kids who attended after-school programs.

Imported from Detroit


I saw this as I was going about town this afternoon, and was passing Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI. The slogan, "Imported from Detroit", was made famous in the ad that was shown during the Super Bowl this year. I hear that they had shirts with the phrase on it that sold quickly. Just wanted to share this with you all.

Picture Bloggin'

Sorry for the lack of picture so far this year, TWaSbL-ites. I've been going through a lot, and not blogging as much lately. Anywho, Here's a favorite picture of mine so far this year. It was taken shortly after leaving the Detroit auto show this past January . I may have posted this at an earlier date, but I like it so much that I posted it again today. I'm sorry that I'm not blogging in regularity. I'm on a semi-hiatus for now. I'm just trying to get a few things in my personal (offline) life straightened out right now.

YouTube Friday: Frankie Avalon - Bobby Sox To Stockings

For YouTube Friday, I selected this video that I ran across (via John 1948Five's YouTube Channel) after hearing this on the Canadian Radio station. I thought that this song was pretty neat. It seems that nowadays young ladies are changing from Bobby Sox to Stockings (or from flats to high heels if you prefer) earlier and earlier. Sorry I've been so quiet recently, I've been going through a few things I'd rather not get into online. I'll try to write more in the future.

Might Music be back at Orchestra Hall?

I heard on the radio this afternoon as I was coming home that the DSO might be back playing without a contract pending a vote by orchestra members. I remember seeing the Musicians union marching in the Labor Day Parade last year, a few weeks before going on strike in early October. I'll say a prayer that something gets worked out.
