My Friend Russ

Merry Christmas to all, my friend Russ and I went to Bud’s Lounge for Karaoke. Russ loves to sing and was singing some Christmas Carole’s when I decided to take some photos of him, while he was singing.  Russ was even handing out some Christmas candy that night.A lot of fun was had by all. There were a lot of good singers out that night, have some good tidings, and also a lot of good looking young ladies. To bad I’m so old. :-)  So here are a couple of photos of Russ singing.

Chick a Dee feeding in Blizzard

Today I was going to go out and get a few items from the store but low and behold, I woke up to a blizzard, nothing else to do but stay home and cruise the net and oh yes take a few shots of those little critters at my home made feeder. Seems to work well and the Sparrows have not figured out how to use it. I was surprised that the Chickadees were active on a day like today, so I just had to take a few photos through my window. We have had snow every day for 3 days, so far. But today the wind was gusting at 30 klm’s an hour. Lots of snow drifting and the news say that there are lots of accidents and people in the ditches. The police say for people to stay home and not drive anywhere if you don’t have to. I hope everyone stays warm today. Well here are some photos.

Christmas Songs

I posted some Christmas songs below of a Young Heintje, Some of you may remember him in the late 60’s and the early 70’s. When I first heard him I was amazed at his voice and his wonderful Christmas songs. I guess when his voice broke he was not in much demand, and he faded away. Well I was thinking of Christmas music and he came to mind and I started searching and found a few of his Christmas songs and thought I would post them so others could here this fellow when he was young. Some may like him some may not. Let me know what you think.
