American folk music popularized storytelling with many tunes, some dating back centuries.

Tell me a good old folk story. See ⬇️

As my grandson turns 13 I started reminiscing about the magic of the 1960s, a decade that truly defined the music scene for me and my two older brothers forever.

The British Invasion was an iconic moment in pop culture history, and the blending of musical styles between the UK and the US during that time are fascinating subjects in ways that resonate even today. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169528/

Should all of the people living in the free world worry that next year 2025 begins this way or are you sure we’re going to be okay?

WTF is an internet slang term that expresses disbelief. The earliest known use of WTF was four decades ago back in 1985.

The written abbreviation for wtf is a rude phrase used, for example in text messages and on social networking websites, to show that you are surprised or annoyed, or just do not shiv a git or care about something, or other.

Gratitude is the treasured feeling of thankfulness and appreciation for all the good things we experience from family and friends.

I am grateful for healthy, successful, and happy kids and our children's children. For my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.

These coveted front row tickets included the Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Rockefeller  Christmas Tree Lighing  ceremony and New Year’s Celebrations in Times Square to welcome 2025.

We send a shout-out to all our friends in the United States, Canada, Saint Lucia, Liberia, and unofficially in all countries.

There are also our brothers and sisters who celebrate in Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines. It is also observed in the Dutch town of Leiden and the Australian territory of Norfolk Island. 

This season can be stressful for some with gift buying, planning and preparation. Here are songs to enjoy everyday.

Where’s Sam now that we need him more than ever? I’ve admire his desire to "destroy oysters done up in all kinds of seductive styles." 

If you've ever read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn," you may already be intimately familiar with the American humorist, novelist, journalist and travel writer. https://youtu.be/8cjq-n4uZ5A?si=Vg2fNPwN4-4veKZy
