Just checking the visitors to my little page and last night I passed the 4000 mark.
Woohoo.
I know that those numbers don't compare to a lot of other sites, but its about 3999 more than I thought I would get.
So thanks for stopping by, and please leave a comment or two.

Feeling Nostalgic Again

I was playing around with Youtube last night and I stumbled across a story on Boy George.
Apparently he got himself into a bit of trouble recently.
He has been accused of forcibly confining someone but that not what I want to talk about.
The story got me thinking about some of the music he made in the early 80's with Culture Club.
I really missed most of the craziness surrounding the group, but I really enjoyed the Colour By Numbers album.
The strange thing is I can still remember the first time I had ever heard the album (thats right album it was before cassette's and a long time before CD's). We were visiting family friends. There name's were Andy and Dianne. They were childhood friends of my parents. The funny thing about the friendship was the fact that they all met on a double date when my Mom was dating Andy and my Father was going out with Dianne. Who knew that the couples would end up marrying each other.
I remember growing up that I always was fascinated by Dianne, she was always a lot of fun and paid me lot's of attention.
That and she had one of those light up makeup mirrors and loved to put on makeup. I still clearly remember her sitting at the cottage table putting on her makeup, which even then struck me as odd. Your at a cottage who cares if your wearing lipstick.
That was a bit of topic, but the point is, I was at Andy and Dianne's house for supper with my parents sometime in the early 80's. Waiting for dinner (which was beef stroganoff) when Dianne asked me if I had ever heard of Culture Club and I told her I hadn't and she jumped up and put the album on for me.
I was hooked instantly.
I didn't find out until a few weeks later about the whole gender bending lead singer.
So here are a sampling of some of the hits.

Church of the poison mind.
I think this is my favorite song from the album and one that has held up the strongest over the years.



Karma Chameleon.
This was Culture Club's biggest hit in America and here in Canada.
It's an 80's classic.


Now from their first album Kissing to Be Clever.


I'll Tumble 4 Ya.
Just plain fun.



Do you really want to hurt me.
One last classic to leave on.

Winter Vacation

It seems around this time of year just about everyone is flying south to some tropical paradise. Everyone that is except for me.....
We currently have two extra cars parked in our driveway as friends and family jet of to somewhere warm.
Now I'm not bitter, not at all, but here is a video for all you lucky people getting on planes sometime soon.



Love ya.
