Danny Benair Record Club

A few weekends ago on my Facebook page I wrote that I wanted to have a record club with secret handshakes etc… I guess wanted I wanted was a social get together, where the love of music could be displayed.

With some string and tape and the magic of Don Williams we have a club,and with Bob Say’s Freakbeat Records we have a home.

We meet once a month, but we chat on line, and are working on the very secret handshake. Join us!

Winter is my favorite time of year.

Winter is my favorite time of year. Some people say you can’t tell one season from the next in this town, but I say you can. Everything just feels a little different. There’s something in the air that wasn’t there three months ago… Something that makes you want to bundle up, even if the forecast tells you otherwise.

I went for a walk yesterday and the air was crisp and clear. The smell of candied yams and roasted chestnuts wafted through the streets, and the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers buzzed down Hollywood Boulevard. What a wonderful time.

Even though our economy is not as healthy and vibrant as it once was, hope is on the horizon.  On the news this morning, they were saying that shoppers came out in record numbers on black Friday, despite the fact that no one has any money. So contrary to popular belief, the spirit of the holidays is still very much alive.

I for one am looking forward to Christmas this year. I’ll be with my family, and the people I love, and really, what more can you ask for? So, to everyone who’s reading, I hope you have a wonderful wonderful holiday – and a happy new year!

Cheers, Laura
