Music Monday – Top 5 Elton John Songs
Since I did Billy Joel last week, it’s only fair that I praise my other favorite piano man, Elton John. I first heard of Elton John (to know he was Elton John) during the eighties. Upon further exploration of his discography, I discovered that I had been enjoying his songs for quite a while, even though I hadn’t known who he was. This was back in the olden times of radio and DJs…. Without further ramblings, here’s my top five mix of Elton John songs. As always, they are in no particular order. I’m Still Standing Rollicking upbeat elton. [wpdevart_youtube]ZHwVBirqD2s[/wpdevart_youtube] Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road The vocal riff of “Oh…oh…oh….” is what sells it. [wpdevart_youtube]RZ3Bb4UsXhU[/wpdevart_youtube] The One “All I ever needed was the one……” [wpdevart_youtube]85B_REWeNcM[/wpdevart_youtube] Candle in the Wind His tribute to Marilyn Monroe, and later Princess Diana, still brings a tear to my eye.

Horror Movie Review – Grave Encounters 2
Title: Grave Encounters 2 Genre: Horror, Found Footage Director: John Poliquin Writers: The Vicious Brothers IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2231554/ NO SPOILERS PLOT SYNOPSIS: (imdb.com) A film student who is obsessed with the movie Grave Encounters sets out with his friends to visit the psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film. We’re back! After seeing Grave Encounters, I just had to see if there were a Grave Encounters 2. And, lo and behold, it was! I quickly queued it up and sat back, prepared to be as scared as I was with the first one. Alas, this was not the case. Now, this is not to say the movie wasn’t pretty good. It just took a bit of a time to get to the point. Don’t go into this expect a retread of Grave Encounters. The screenwriter and director went in a bit of a different direction, which saved the movie from being a boring retread

Music Monday – Top 5 Billy Joel Songs
Heidi-ho, it’s music Monday and I’m here once again to thrill and wow you with my musical choices. Today’s list comes from my piano lessons as a youth. I began piano lessons at the age of five. I hated them. But then by the time I was in middle school, I’d discovered Billy Joel, and thought that I, too, could be Piano Man. Alas, that did not work out, thankfully, I think, but that hasn’t tarnished my love for Bill. Take a gander at my favorite songs (at least today) from this artist. The list is in no particular order. Piano Man The song that started it all. For some reason, I was fascinted by the fact that you could sing and play the piano. (Bear with me,I was kinda young at the time.)
