Welcome to the birth of a new Special Feature! Since I've already said that the reconstituted GMC isn't going to depend too heavily on the old Special Features I thought I'd fudge a little by adding a new one, and what better time to do it than the start of a new year? Also, since … Continue reading Say Hello To The Squeaky Wheel
As we all look forward to the approach of the new year (it has to be better than 2017, right?) I thought it might be a good time for another edition of one of my favorite Special Features, Anatomy Of A Song. The featured piece of music is one that has a history that includes … Continue reading Anatomy Of A Song – A Russian Classic Goes Pop
The FCC has been in the news lately because of the repeal of net neutrality, but in California it might turn out that a lot more attention is being paid to the BCC, the Bureau of Cannabis Control. Nope, you're not dreaming, folks; bureaucracy has caught up to marijuana, which becomes legal for personal use … Continue reading The Harlem Hamfats Would Be Riding High
A few years back I posted A Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving, which was a slideshow of holiday paintings from one of my favorite artists. I've always thought he was a national treasure, and I have never been too concerned with art experts who look down their noses at him; after all, they're the same people who … Continue reading A Norman Rockwell Christmas + Music!

I'm not ready to jump all the way in or even wade in too deeply, but if it works like I hope then I … Continue reading I’m Back — With A New Kind Of GMC
Nope, I'm not actively blogging again but I do check in from time to time and it's good to know that a lot of people still stop by to read their favorite posts, so I thought I'd say Happy Holidays. PS I'm sure the regulars will have noticed by now that everything looks a lot … Continue reading Happy Holidays!
Hi, it's me again! I'm still not actively blogging but I am continuing to keep an eye on the GMC and improve it whenever I can, because a lot of folks continue to stop by and visit some of their favorite posts. With that in mind, I got to thinking that the 'Busiest Posts Lately' … Continue reading About The GMC Hall Of Fame
It's been a year or so since I've posted here, but it's still a popular spot for folks who enjoy reading about music and nostalgia, so I thought I'd let everyone know that I've added a new list of recently deceased stars that have earlier been featured on the GMC. You might have already noticed … Continue reading Remember Me?
Although I stopped adding regular posts to the GMC quite a while ago, I thought I'd pass along some new info about comments, for the many visitors who still stop by from time to time. I know how much some folks enjoy adding comments to their favorite posts and that function has been off for … Continue reading New Info For Visitors
