November Freeform
Did you know that Gene Kelly was running a 103 degree fever during the filming of the "Singin' In the Rain" scene?
An actor dedicated to his passion.
Truly inspired.

Arts & Entertainment Cover
In the launch edition of Arts & Entertainment Cover, stars in the golden age of Hollywood danced in seamless time to 21st Century "Uptown Funk" music. The experience is intriguing as if the song actually aired in the early 20th Century.
Fast forward to the song actually airing in live performances, music video production, and the inspiration for flash dance mobs seeing who can impress the most.
For example, consider the cast of "The Big Bang Theory" tapping into a lively groove.

Set List Sunday Favorite
In this edition of Set List Sunday Favorite, my personal favorite is:
Weekly's Best - Special Edition
As a refresher, the post featured sample signature model acoustic guitars backed by names such as Johnny Cash, Slash, Eric Clapton, Jeff Bridges, Garth Brooks, and Elvis Presley.
The special edition was meant to highlight zZounds as an affiliate noted long ago and the acoustic guitar used in the concluding series scenes of "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory."
In this way, Set List was just about music...the defining reason for the blog.
Therefore, my Set List Sunday Favorite is a special edition bringing a music website back to where it started - music.
Always,
Play it!

Wedding Bells
In November 2011, wedding bells chimed in Santa Monica, California. The bride - Rebecca. The groom - my father. I was unable to attend so I thought I would dedicate this post to him and her.
"Rolling in the Deep" by Adele was the best-performing single in 2011, reaching No. 1 on Billboard Year End Hot 100.
21 by Adele was off and on the No. 1 album on Billboard 200 and sold 5 million copies.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adele was named Top Pop Artist of 2011.
Adele clearly defined 2011 (and to date). The only other artist I would include in this post is Sting and his romantic ballad "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You."
Cover by Lady Gaga - 2014 Kennedy Center Honors
And so it goes -
