Hard to believe, but Michael Jackson turned 50 this week.
Michael’s troubles are certainly well documented, and it always saddens me when someone who has so much talent takes a fall from grace the way he did. But his musical talents can’t be overlooked, demonstrated through albums like Thriller, Bad, and Off The Wall.
Enjoy the music!

I got this email:
I thought I heard something about a new Round Rock Wine restaurant but I can’t remember where or what information there was. There is something going on this weekend but I have not information. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks,
Rosario
My response was:

The group Looking Glass hit number 1 this week in 1972 with Brandy, subtitled You’re A Fine Girl. The group was basically a one-hit wonder; they followed it with a minor hit called Jimmy Loves Mary Ann.
If you’re in to the Grease soundtrack, the title track topped the charts in 1978 this week. Frankie Valli, who didn’t sound quite as falsetto as he did back in the 60’s, kept the song at the top for two weeks that year.
Rounding out the trio was Seal, whose ballad Kiss From A Rose reached the top this week in 1995, and remained there one week.
Your comments are always welcome. Enjoy the music!
Kenny Rogers is having a birthday this week. He was born August 21, 1939. Can you believe it? The singer of such big hits as “The Gambler,” “Lady,” “Morning Desire,” and so many more, is 69.
He has also recorded hits with Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Dotty West, and many others. Happy Birthday, Kenny.

I was doing the math this past weekend on how much money I have saved since I had my blade free Lasik done with the Mann Eye Institute back in April. After a little over 4 months I have saved almost $600!! This amount covers everything from my eye exams – $150 , to new contact lenses $129.98 , solutions $35, and my designer “prescription” sunglasses at $275!! By the end of this year I will most likely save nearly $2000!! I am taking that money and investing more in my 401K this year!! My payment plan with Mann Eye Institute fits my budget and by early next year I will have paid for it all! Remember once you have blade free Lasik the correction to your eyes is permanent, your prescription will not change over and over again, it really is amazing!!
Blade free Lasik at the Mann Eye Institute has been the best investment I have made in a long time and the benefits will pay dividends for the rest of my life!! Right now the economy has made investing tricky at best, isn’t it time you invested in something where the payoff is instant and the benefits last a lifetime? Call the Mann Eye Institute at 1-800-MY VISION and schedule your free consultation. It only takes a few minutes and they have weekend and evening appointments available to fit into your schedule!! Make an investment in your vision today, you are worth it!!
August 16, 1977 was indeed a sad day in music. That was the day we lost Elvis, the King.
It’s quite common for us to look back years after a significant event and remember what we were doing when it happened. I recall very clearly what I was doing that day.
I was a teenager then, living in Houston. My mom wanted to take me shopping for a new pair of jeans. In typical teenage boy fashion, I balked. The last thing I felt like doing was running all over a mall looking for jeans. I wanted to stay home and be lazy, listen to music, read a book… anything but that!
Finally, my exasperated mom told me she would go without me. “But when I come home to have you try on these jeans, and they don’t fit, you’re grounded,” she threatened.
I pouted for a little while after she left, then turned on the radio. A few minutes later, the station I was listening to broke the sad news that Elvis had died. naturally, I was shocked, and it certainly overshadowed a silly argument with my mother over a pair of jeans. (For the record, the jeans fit, and I wasn’t grounded).
If you have a funny or unusual memory about that day, feel free to post it.
Enjoy the music.
Remember the song “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” by the Bee Gees? It hit #1 this week in 1971, and stayed at the top of the charts for four weeks.
I have a funny memory that comes to mind every time I hear that song. I was a kid when that song came out, and for the longest time, I kept thinking the words were, “How Can You Mend a Broken Arm?”
Does this sound familiar, misunderstanding certain words in songs? At first, I thought there must be something wrong with me, that I was the only one who had this problem. But over the years, I encountered many other people who did the same thing, so I didn’t feel so bad.
What about you? Do you have a song malaprop, where, either intentionally or unintentionally, you substituted a word in place of a similar-sounding one? If so, feel free to post it. Maybe I’ll compile a list of the most amusing ones and share them in a future post.
Enjoy the music.
