Celebrating Earth, Wind & Fire Day with 10 Things We Can Learn From Maurice White & EWF! (I'm still on my social media hiatus, but that doesn't mean the scheduled posts ain't comin'...)

“Do you remember, the 21st night of September? That’s right, it’s September 21, “Earth, Wind & Fire Day” (yes, it’s an official day)!  And as far as I can tell, there is no song in history whose lyrics were the determining factor in the selected date to commemorate the success, impact and legacy of a group.  For the sake of those who don’t know me or have never read what I had to say about them…

♫ September ♫ (Redux)

I was determined to play a song about ‘September’ tonight, and I have 3-4 in my repertoire, but I played all of them last September … I do try not to be too repititious!�� This one, however, I have played three times since I started doing these music posts — in 2018, 2020, and 2023 — but NEVER ONCE have I played it in the month of September!  Last year, I actually played it in January!  Wishful…

Now That's What I Call 1975

Paul Fitzpatrick: April 2023 1975 is a year that I always look back on with fondness. I’d love to be highfalutin and say it’s because it marked the end of the Vietnam War or that it was the year that CAT scans were introduced. But sadly no, my reasons are a bit more mundane and personal than that. Fundamentally, 1975 for me was a year of transition, from kidulthood to adulthood. No more dark…

‘September’ is not EWF’s biggest hit; it’s not even the biggest song about September (though you wouldn’t know it today)

‘September’ is not EWF’s biggest hit; it’s not even the biggest song about September (though you wouldn’t know it today)

(September 2, 2024).  It’s September again and you know what that means.  It’s the month of Earth, Wind & Fire and their year-round classic “September,” which will no doubt see a spike in its streams and downloads as it kicks off the new month in what has become an annual tradition — especially in a few weeks when we flip the calendar to that date that’s famously name-checked in the song’s…

God's Surprises

A surprise of monumental proportions was when God raised Jesus from the dead! And God keeps surprising us – sometimes when we aren’t so crazy about the unexpected, learning-our-lessons-well ones!But then there are times when He surprises us with a big hug, like the one we received a few days ago. My Carl was attending his men’s breakfast meeting. Their first order of business is to go around the…
