I Think I Will Dance Now

Tim May

I remember loving this lady’s singing (way) back in high school. So tonight I catch the credits of the movie “The Family That Preys” and the closing song made me pause….”is that?…could it be?…yes it is Gladys and it’s no Midnight Train she’s belting!” Now she’s gone and got me loving her all over again. Thank you lady! I know, some of you will be thinking I’m so far behind on this song sung some four years ago, huh? Well don’t. It is as much a song for the soul tonight as it was in 2008! “…Promise me that you’ll … Continue reading I Think I Will Dance Now

Marshmallow World

Tim May

OK y’all…”it’s a whipped cream day” for sure. Holy cow I forgot all about this song! If you need to grin and chuckle (don’t we all?), watch these two gin-soaked (probably) goofballs have fun and mess up a couple lines near the end. Continue reading Marshmallow World

Fun with Fallon

Tim May

OK y’all. Here’s a change-up post from the The Daily Cap(s). Jimmy Fallon  is just a funny guy, and talented in so many ways…. If you can, give your political attitudes a break for three minutes 21 seconds and enjoy this for just being funny several times over: I’ve always like both genres of this music…now I’ve got them mashed! Who wants to form a quartet with me? This one is a hoot…and it brings back several childhood musical instrument memories too boot (I think I could have played anywhere in the band had I saved the “toys”): Continue reading Fun with Fallon

Some loving that goes on and on

Tim May

OK. So I will admit…I’m a sucker for a good love song. And Lionel Richie’s “Endless Love” sung with Diana Ross has always been a favorite. Like you – you can admit it, that’s fine – I know the lyrics by heart. Yup, I know the harmonies and both the guy and girl parts. I can sing the song (not very well mind you) acapella, or with Lionel and Diana if need be. Either way it looks to be, and sounds like someone is getting all glazey-eyed… I now know, with my youthful courtship attempts I was always (and still … Continue reading Some loving that goes on and on

The Late Daily Cap (42)

Tim May

I am yesterday-late because of computer issues, learning, and just because….

So there I sat...thinking there is plenty of cameras around this place to photograph the kids...yet no one thought about taking pictures of birthday party photographers taking pictures of the birthday party partiers...that is until this picture presented itself in front of my lens.

It is well

Tim May

Funny thing happened on the way to the church the other day.

It started with…oh wait, first a lead in: A typical Sunday morning routine of mine when driving to church is to plug my iPod (iPhone actually) to the truck stereo and get to singing with a playlist simply labeled “Sunday”. Of the hundred or so gospel/Christian music owned, the songs in this playlist are my favorites. This list numbers 24 songs as of today, and is populated with “standards of the faith” as much as it is with more contemporary songs that stir my spiritual soul.

The Daily Cap (15)

Tim May
With so much going on at daybreak - geese flying, fishermen fishing, the sun a rising, a chilly nip to the morning air - am I the only one that likes to, as the day awakens and a sunrise warms your face, plug in the headphones and listen to the "String Quintet In e Major: Minuet"? Oh yeah, see there, I figured as much....

It’s OK

Tim May

This YouTube humor finds its way here via the FD and her Facebook post. I discovered that when one laughs out loud this early in the morning, Scottie dogs come a scootin’ to see what in the wide, wide world of Saturday mornings is going on.

Oh yeah, the calming, and, for those of us that struggle mightily with body coordination, condescending voice of one very patient ballet teacher can be quite comforting during those times I call “oh geez”.

Heed her instruction:

To be jolly

Tim May

Now if you just so happen to watch the video, and you don’t catch yourself smiling, then I’ll come see you to massage that hardened heart of yours. It is, after all, the season to be jolly. So be it! Stop it with the political moaning, employment groaning, life-is-not-fair bellyaching, and the unsociable Facebooking for but a few minutes…and sing a Christmas song, for crying out loud, that might make others smile for all the right Godly reasons.

We Will Remember

Tim May

Just when I figured I had heard most of the standards of the faith, and most of the popular Christian Gospel theses days sang and/or performed at church, Denton Bible throws one at me this morning an inspiration that I’ve been singing all day: I will say I prefer Kendall (leading the choir), our 3 soloists, and the 50-60 folks in the Denton Bible Choir singing their version. It gets the hair on our arms standing up and it makes even the worst singer a part of the choir for nearly 5 whole minutes! Continue reading We Will Remember

Sing with me

Tim May

Many times in my life, music has moved me emotionally and spiritually to places I never imagined. Tonight I reflect back on a dear family friend lost today. She was a special lady and mother to OFSIL Becky. Today also stirs memories from within our soul. It is music, this music in particular, that always seem to ease my spirit, conquer my thoughts, and soothe my welcoming heart. Watch them if you want, I do hope one of these five favorite songs of mine give some comfort to a grieving family. Continue reading “Sing with me”
