In 1946 my grandfather, the late, great Benny Bell, wrote and recorded a song called “Shaving Cream.” The song is an infectious novelty ditty that substitutes a world-famous expletive that begins with the letters sh with the much tamer phrase, ’shaving cream.’ It was very popular in ‘46 and was revived in 1975 by novelty broadcaster Dr. Demento and noted New York deejay Cousin Bruce Morrow. It made it onto More »

Ah, the question that never has an easy answer like “What’s your favorite color?” or “What’s your favorite food?” These are the tough questions that life is really about. It’s simple to answer the ‘will you marry me’s’ and ‘do you want this job or that?’, which have a definite gut feeling. But the everyday stuff, like favorite music, that is where conversation gets started. This is More »
Dancing is my favorite way to exercise. When I decided to come up with a list of favorite dancing songs, choosing the top ten was difficult.

When you think of karaoke, there are usually a few songs in particular that top the list.

SING A SONG OF SYMPATHY
It’s cold outside as the sun burns down
In the distant land there is a crying sound
If we turn up the amp and sing a song
We can all declare we can do no wrong
With the stars on board and a glass of wine
A pic shoot and they will sing a line
I’ll give up my time it’s all for free
But don’t More »
We all disappoint someone, sometime… right? We do our ideal and yet sometimes we find ourselves just being thoughtless and perhaps selfish. The problem is that sometimes we hurt other people without thinking how deep the repercussions that fall on the ones we love the most might become. Sometimes we don’t even realize the hurt we have caused until months later.
I used to hike up to Sleeping Giant when I More »
Although this was written as a gospel song, the truth remains the same for all, regardless of one’s spiritual beliefs; Even though life has trials and troubles, when we finally overcome those trials and reach the end of our journey (or is it a new beginning?); When we reach the top of the mountain and look back into the valley, we’ll know the trip has been worth it!

The memories flood in,
When a song from my youth begins,
I hear the melody and I hum to the tune,
“We had joy we had fun we’d seasons in the sun but like the wine and the song the seasons are all gone,”
He was Cherokee, beautiful and splendid was he,
My heart would race so wildly,
Though we never were a couple, I kept in my heart, he remains there still,
But that day More »

Paul McCartney has been though of as one of the all-time greatest legends of music history.

“Every Rose has its Thorn” – a popular lyric from a popular 80’s Glam-hair Metal band Poison. And a popular lyric that was one of multiple cataclysmic events in the horrendous downfall of “Hair Metal” genre that somehow dominated suburban boomboxes and tapedecks, heck, even the T-Top Trans Ams of the 1980’s.
Let’s face it. Not every teenager in the 1980’s was marveled by Slash’s melodic guitar introduction to “Sweet More »

Leave it to a British band to combine Latin rhythms, Jamaican mento, and ska beats, all dressed in retro zoot suits. The group is fronted by Cuban vocalist Ben Billy and London-born singer Nathan “Natty Bo” Lerner, with Jamaican trumpeter Eddie “Tan Tan” Thornton, Japanese saxophonist Megumi Mesaku, and Havana bassist Ray Crespo. For the most part, the music is a surprising melange of Beny More-type vocals and upbeat ska rhythms made famous by The Skatalites, as evidenced by the snappy instrumental “Jezebel,” the hypnotizing mid-tempo “Soy Campesino,” and the humorous title track. Also included are the Colombian cumbia “Tungarara” and Miguelito Valdes’ “Babalu.” Before purists attach the gimmick flag to the ensemble’s second CD, they should please note that a few of the creators of ska were born in Cuba, and since African descendants are the prime creators of Caribbean music, this effort represents a reunion of kindred rhythms. –Eugene Holley, Jr.
