Time marches on. And Worm Moon 2023 is a deLIGHTful example of it. Yeah, you read that right. Worm Moon 2023 is a real thing. And it’s gonna happen starting tomorrow, as I write this. It’s the last full moon of the winter season. Or the first full moon of the spring season. Depends on whether you look at the … The rest of the story…

Elgielene will back me up on this (and she’ll probably add how annoying it can be). But there are almost always notes and beats going on in my brain. And the annoying part (for others who can’t hear them) is how they manifest through my finger tips. Yeah, I tap out the notes and beats with my fingers. Virtually ALL … The rest of the story…
Here’s a little music tidbit I didn’t know. The first musical performance on Saturday Night Live was Billy Preston singin’ his hit song, Nothin From Nothin. And that didn’t just pop up, randomly in my poetmagination brain. Because I wanted to share some of the lyrics from that song. And I remembered it came out in the 70’s. But I … The rest of the story…
According to one reliable source, a star explodes about every 26 years. No, I’m not talking about Alec Baldwin. These are actual stars. You know, those blinking lights up in the sky. So, evidently, exploding stars are not a rare phenomenon. And exploding stars produce a lot of gas and dust. And, also according to my trustworthy source, that gas … The rest of the story…
The butterfly effect and chaos theory originated in hopeless minds. There. I said it. And it’s up to you to convince me I’m wrong. Otherwise, I’m right. But just because those minds were hopeless doesn’t mean there’s not an infinite amount of reasons to remain hopeful. Far from it. The butterfly effect doesn’t account for Truth. And truth provides the … The rest of the story…
The world (defined as all the people and their cultures) would have you (translate: now force you to) believe you live on a sacred Earth. And they’d prefer you didn’t disparage, in any way, the god they worship. And that’s all while they want you to shut up about your God. Well, that is, if your God is the one … The rest of the story…
I’m biased (and also right) about this. Music makes us human. And “scientists” agree with me. So, there. OK, I’ll drop the attitude and share some gratitude. But there IS a lot of evidence that music makes us human. No, it’s obviously not the only thing. And not even the main thing. But music is an amazing and complicated marker, … The rest of the story…
So, grass fed beef, chicken, pork, etc. is better for you. Agreed? Whether you do or not, why would anyone make that claim? And what kind of proof does anyone have that it’s true? Well, there’s a ton of grass fed nutrition information “out there.” And I decided, some time ago, that it was compelling and convincing enough to make … The rest of the story…
The famous northern lights show up at high latitudes around the world. It’s especially to see them near the Arctic Circle, in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Norway. But they can also be seen as far south as northern Idaho. One popular theory about the northern lights is full of hot air. Well, soar wind to be a little more clear. … The rest of the story…
Nikola Tesla was a fascinating character. And he was a great example of how great ideas started out with dreams. Like, have you ever heard how he had a dream to harness the power of Niagara Falls? I’ve been to Niagara Falls. I’m not sure anyone is gonna harness it. But Mr. Tesla had a knack for making his great … The rest of the story…
I read another article about brain cell connections to music. Yeah, I’m a nerd when it comes to that kind of information. And I love a quote from that article that said, “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” Of course the scientist who said that was talking about how brain cells communicate with each other by “firing” messages through junctions … The rest of the story…
Imagine if you could breathe underwater. Just think of the places you could go. How do fish breathe underwater? Well, they actually have a wonderfully designed system of gills that capture the oxygen from the water as it passes through. So fish don’t have to hold their breath like you and I do. But what if you didn’t have to … The rest of the story…
Would you believe, in all my criss-cross traveling days as a professional musician, I never visited the Grand Canyon. Nope. I still haven’t seen it up close and personal. And I just read an article, and watched some videos, that piqued my interest to go see that big hole in the ground. Because of the fascinating information about cross-beds. That’s … The rest of the story…
“There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to, The Outer Limits.” That was part of the opening to the old TV show from back in the 60’s. Boomers remember The Outer Limits. Everybody else probably … The rest of the story…
Here’s a short story about how music and memories are closely connected. My Dad didn’t really go for high-priced vehicles. In fact, I don’t think he ever bought a new car. But I do remember a couple of times he got fairly close. Like his ’66 Chrysler Newport. And if you’re not familiar with it, the Newport was closer to … The rest of the story…
I saw a beautiful picture, at around 3 a.m. today. And the beautiful, neon-like lights in the gentle waves of water got me thinking about what causes bioluminescence. I remembered how phosphorus paint glows in the dark. And I remembered how some explain the glow at the edge of the ocean, in the right lighting, as a phosphorous glow. But … The rest of the story…
Who’s afraid of a little extra heat? I’ve shared, a few times, how God promises that as long as the earth is around we’ll have our regular kinds of weather. And now I wanna share a video with you about some animals that got stuck in the ice and froze right where they were because it was so cold. The … The rest of the story…
The road to perdition is paved with nothing. And as silly as that sounds, most people on our little blue planet believe it’s the right road. And they’ll even say it out loud. With conviction. And sometimes indignation. I found this definition, in an online dictionary, for perdition: (in Christian theology) a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which … The rest of the story…
Have you ever paid attention to the focus factor of a mother bird on her nest? It’s a wonderment. Because birds tend to move around. A lot. And super fast. But when the mother bird is on her nest, she can be so still you almost can’t see her. I know, because there’s a small mother cardinal in a very … The rest of the story…
Check this out about the moon and sun. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon. And it’s 400 times further away. What an amazing and happy coincidence that is. It’s practically ecliptic is what it is. No, seriously. I mean it. It’s practically ecliptic, which is both a noun and an adjective. Definition: a great circle on the … The rest of the story…
