Yes it was a catchy tune and song. Everybody read into it waht they wanted to. Still a great little kids song about growing up.

I've done this with my music and literature collections. The music database, as I set it up, allows for media (records, CDs, etc) to be defined by artist and title and then songs are specified. Each song needs to be defined (by writer, if desired...

Vince Capece replied to John's discussion 'Record and CD Database'

I used Microsoft Access to create my own database. You can create it as detailed or generic as you want, that way. If you have Access, I can send you the basic database that I created.

John commented on John's blog post 'Great Weekend for Music in Santa Cruz California'

He was actually the best of them all, still a strong voice. A great catalogs of songs most by other people, which he made into his own. "I Get By with a Little Help From My Friends" is a perfect example. It is just about his song now, even though ...

Alexander is from San Francisco, and we have quite a few members from California

One of my all time favorite record stores was Universe Records on the "Old Mall' in Santa Cruz. I'd always leave the 101to go to the 1 and stop on the way to Montara (just north of Half Moon Bay).there used to be a store In San Bruno called (no joke) the Vinyl Solution. I don't know if it is still there. As I worked as a rep for NHT I know Beneca and some of the East Bay, along with "The City" pretty well.

Great Weekend for Music in Santa Cruz California

The Santa Cruz Blues festival is always a good time for music lovers. This year's line-up was extra special with BB King headling the show on Saturday and Joe Cocker doing the honors on Sunday. The Show also included Leon Russell, Keb Mo, Kenny Wayne Shepard and Jackie Greene. They were all great but Joe Cocker stole the show and showed that he can still sing all of the songs that made him famous. When he sings a song even one done well by other people he really make his own see for Example "I g… Continue

The Record Man Semi-Annual Sale

Hello All, the record sale at the Record Man store in Redwood City was a success for me. I found several great records, some of them sound great. Some do not, but for $1.00 each one can hope for the best and not worry too much about the money. Here I am deciding between the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Pavarotti, and I got them both. Below me is Gary aka the Record Man owner of the shop.
