A Story And A Song – April Fool

On April 1, 2022March 31, 2022 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song3 Comments

I had a real post I was going to do today but I finally grasped what day today was gonna be so I put off the other post and will have a bit of fun today instead. It's also one where the story and the song bear no connection to one another, save for the …

A Story And A Song – In The Summertime

On March 9, 2022March 8, 2022 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song4 Comments

Today's story revolves around a friend's hi-jinks and one of the biggest selling singles ever. The song is the 1970 smash hit In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry. The UK track set the world on fire and sold over 30 million copies, an absolutely ridiculous number for a single. It hit the top of the …

A Story And A Song, Vol. 4

On February 18, 2022February 17, 2022 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song1 Comment

We had a good round of winter weather in my area (and across much of the U.S.) a few weeks ago, and are seeing more as winter slowly rolls away into spring. That got me thinking about an odd little story from another notable winter storm many years ago. And as a result, here is …

Just a quick note - this series is an unconnected group of stories, just titled this way for summary purposes. Nothing missed before is necessary for this or the next, and so on. The category this is under on the right will lead one to other one-offs in this series. This will be a bit …

A Story And A Song, Vol. 2

On December 29, 2021December 28, 2021 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song2 Comments

I realized after the first one of these that I called it "Story and a Song" but I do "song and a story" instead. Oh well. This is two songs and a very small story. It's almost not even really a story, more a chuckle-worthy anecdote from a concert I attended a few years back. …

A Story And A Song, Vol. One

On December 1, 2021November 30, 2021 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song1 Comment

This will be a new series with a bit of discussion of a song and a story, just as the title says. It's a way to just talk about something for a bit that's funny, sad, or whatever. Sometimes the connection might be deep, others tenuous, it'll be what it'll be. It should in time …
