Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Apparently, this is the newest Tansy favourite, so I had to put it up here. It sort of fits with some of her other ones. Sadly, that soundtrack is the last Tansy favourite song that we’re going to get, because she crossed over the rainbow bridge last month. It happened on March 14, but it …

Radio Host, Song Parodist Bob Rivers Has Died. Man, I was so bummed when I heard this news over the weekend. Growing up, I had two favourite song parody guys. The first, obviously, was Weird Al (one of the first records ever given to me as a child was the “Eat It” 45), and the …
Technically speaking that’s not true since there were Joe Clark, Pierre Trudeau and John turner before him, but Brian Mulroney is my first Prime Minister in the sense that he’s the first one I remember actually being in the job. When I started getting old enough to notice the news and when we began learning …
Hi there. It’s me, the biggest absentee blogger in history. Since I started going back to the office, even though I have more energy thanks to ol’ Santa the CPAP machine, I can’t seem to find the time to write, even though I have a great heap of ideas. So…um…it’s 2024. I say this every …
I got some sad news the other day. Sandy, Steve’s aunt’s dog, the Australian shepherd that has been in so many stories over the years, passed away. She was 14, so certainly lived a good long life, but it’s still sad. We first met Sandy when she chased Trixie around and around and around the …
I have to write about this, because I ran into two creepy instances of this in two days. Yesterday, when I was finally updating the singing screen readers post, I was trying to look up Chris Skarstad’s name. I knew the probability was good that I would screw it up. I stumbled across his Twitter …
I was sad to hear a couple of months ago that Alan Kalter, David Letterman’s announcer for most of his CBS run, had died. I always enjoyed him, as I do a lot of classic announcers. Sadly you don’t hear many voices like those anymore. Digging through some old things just now that I hadn’t …
Say what you want about cassettes. They’re easy to destroy. They don’t sound so hot once they start to wear. But for my money, there has never been a format that made audio more universally accessible. You could take your music anywhere, and you could capture anything you wanted quickly and with ease just by …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ6w Johnny Nash died yesterday. Most people, including me, are going to remember him best for I Can See Clearly Now, because that song is great. But while reading some things about his death, I also discovered that I’ll be remembering him for something else entirely. If you grew up watching cartoons on Global TV …
I hope this song doesn’t have a hidden meaning that I don’t understand. But from what I do understand, I felt it was appropriate for a couple of reasons: it talks about thinking of someone years down the road and how you think no one has changed, and it has so many memories tied to …
