Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 32nd anniversary of the single release “Arms of Orion” from Prince + Sheena Easton. I love the Batman soundtrack and I love this song. It just has a feel that most ballads don’t have and I am truly disappointed it didn’t do better on the charts. This couple do a great…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a fantastic Saturday. We had lunch, records, record listening, dinner, binge watching. It was recharging. Underdog Records had some cool stuff that came in so we grabbed it. Here’s the haul: Various – French Women — You know by now that The BCPF and I are Francophiles. We love everything French….

Salutations™!! Yesterday was a day that I absolutely was in need of. The BCPF and I had a “board meeting” which is where we catch up from the week (or more) of seeing each other for about a total of 5 hours. Then, we went to Underdog Records and got some “candy.” We had brunch…
Salutations™!! Happy Earth Day to you, Dear Reader. Also, happy 36th anniversary to Prince’s Around the World in a Day album. Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the Purple One’s death. I miss him. How about some bluegrass Prince? Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Built like she was, she had the nerve to…
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of Prince’s acclaimed double album Sign O’The Times. The album has some lighter moments in the typical Prince style but the title track is a bit profound. I love Jerry Chapman’s (yes THAT Jerry Chapman) cover on his Rumors of My Death album. But, because I like to have…

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I actually went to Underdog Records on Friday instead of yesterday. Friday was her birthday. It may not seem like much, but I got a special advanced preview of the cheeseburger that will come from Mr. Barbecue with their opening TOMORROW!!! So, she can say she ate there before just about…
Salutations™!! Today is the 37th anniversary of Prince’s first “big” album, 1999. It was no Purple Rain but it was pretty big. He had important albums prior to this, but this was the first I ever hear of him and the biggest charting impact he had ever had. The album reached #5, the title track…
Salutations™!! A good but long week for The BCPF and me led to a good weekend, including a fantastic trip to Underdog Records. I don’t have a lot to say about it other than, here’s the haul: The first two are of the TimeLife – The Story of Great Music collections that I ordered from…
Salutations™!! Yep, I am a day behind on this because yesterday was Mother’s Day. So, Underdog Records is still “closed” and Jonathan says that while he does see reopening in the near future, it will still be several weeks, and procedures within the store will be different. He’s doing a shload of deliveries right now,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of Prince’s Around the World in a Day. It’s one of my faves from him. I don’t think it’s better than a lot, I just enjoy listening to it. Here’s a decent cover from it. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “The rain sounds so cool when…
