Finally uploaded another video of music from my paternal grandfather's old Reel to Reel tapes!

The audio is pretty bad on this, with a lot of tape hiss that I just couldn't get rid of because the music was recorded at such a low volume. Like the previous videos, I'm pretty sure this was all recorded off the radio at the time (probably 1960s or 1970s). I was able to identify a few of the artists (thank you Shazam app!) but the rest are total unknowns. They're all old instrumentals. Hope you enjoy!



1 - Meet Me Tonight In Dreamland
2 - On Moonlight Bay - The Darol Rice Silver Saxophones
3 - Bye Bye Blues - Bert Kaempfert & his orch (1965)
4 - Seems Like Old Times / Peg Of My Heart - Freddy Martin (?)
5 - Tiny Bubbles
6 - My Blue Heaven - Roy Smeck
7 - I'm Always Chasing Rainbows

Hey! It's a new post...and MUSIC! I actually uploaded these to YT a whole month ago but...whatever. :P

NOTE FROM PREVIOUS POST: These are from my paternal grandfather's old Reel-To-Reel tapes that we recorded onto regular audio cassettes years ago. I suspect this music was recorded off of the radio because it's all different instruments/orchestras and artists. I've identified most of the songs, but not all. Anyway, if you like old music, this is right up your alley! :)

This first video is actually a clip from a much longer recording (which I will eventually upload in it's entirety). I believe it was a recording done off of the TV of the Sing Along With Mitch program back in the 1960s. This is just the song, "Bless'Em All" which I heard in the beginning of the movie "Twelve O'Clock High" and it made me think of this recording. Very short, but I hope you like it.



Next we have a continuation of music recorded off the radio (as far as I know). Different artists and mostly instrumentals. Again, this was probably from the early 1960s. Happy listening!

1 - Let Me Call You Sweetheart - Les Elgart & his Orch
2 - Canadian Capers - The Three Suns
3 - Release Me - ? (cut off)
4 - The Third Man Theme - Johnny Ukulele
5 - Alice Blue Gown - ?
6 - Maria Elena - Los Indios Tabajaras
7 - A June Night - The Three Suns

Gotta love that cat! And now I'm wondering what Bobunk was all about. :P

I've recently watched the first 2 episodes of The Boys, in preparation for Jensen being in Season 3. So far, so good. Here's caps of Jensen in the Season 3 Trailer of The Boys released the other day.

I've recently watched the first 2 episodes of The Boys, in preparation for Jensen being in Season 3. So far, so good. So I thought I'd cap Jensen in the Teaser for Season 3 of The Boys from a couple of months ago.

Been working on my new YouTube channel at long last and finally posting some audio files publicly.

These are from my paternal grandfather's old Reel-To-Reel tapes that we recorded onto regular audio cassettes years ago. This is just Side A of the first reel (I have to limit my uploads to 15 min). I suspect this music was recorded off of the radio because it's all different instruments/orchestras and artists. I've identified most of the songs, but not all. Anyway, if you like old music, this is right up your alley! :)

There was quite a surprise waiting for me in the mailbox yesterday!

I have no idea who ordered this for me, but THANK YOU!!! I'm so very honored! From looking this up on Etsy, it looks like only 10 have been sold, so this is a rare gift indeed. I'm really pretty speechless. I'd love to know who ordered this, but I suppose I'll never find out.

You know sometimes I've wondered whether I should keep posting stuff for SPN, especially now that the show is over. Do people still want my caps? Are they still even interested in anything from the show? This incredible gift is certainly reassuring! :D

Again, thank you for this, my SPN Family!

Technically, I'm combining 2 things here: Merry Monday & a birthday post for Jensen. ;)

Instead of a picspam, I thought I'd celebrate Jensen's amazing singing voice. As if being an outstanding actor, a gifted director, and incredible human being weren't enough: yes, Jensen can sing. Honestly, at this point I'd love to know what he isn't good at. I'm sure it's a short list! I've been so fortunate to hear him sing in person 4 times. Here are 3 of my best recordings of his performances.

I would've posted the first time Jensen sang at VanCon back in 2015, but the audio isn't so good in that video. But in 2016 Jensen went more acoustic with the song and it was still a great performance.


VanCon 2018 would be my last con and while I'd been hoping Jensen would sing "Brother", instead we got treated to 2 songs from Jensen, including this brand new song! Many of us exclaimed afterwards that this wasn't Jensen on stage, but Dean Winchester himself!


Jensen sings the Saturday Night Special classic, "Whipping Post". Again, with better audio than my 2017 recording of him sining the song.

Came across this treasure on youtube overnight and thought I'd share it with my fellow Anne Of Green Gables fans. What a delight to hear Megan read a chapter from the book! Warning: it's the chapter about Matthew's death, but Megan interjects some thoughts along the way. She will always be the ONE Anne of Green Gables for me.

Another old video from July of 2020. I decided to crop the caps down to just J2 and then made separate cropped caps of Jensen & Jared separately.

This video is from way back in April of 2020. Yikes!
Decided to make a Black & White set of caps for this (along w/the usual color ones). Both sets are Hi-Res. Hope you enjoy!

More laughs from Jay's headlines! :D

I still remember when I first saw this on The Muppet Show as a child. An amazing song and beautiful muppets with the spectacular Harry Belafonte. Seems like a perfect song to head into the new year. Enjoy!

It's been a crazy, messed-up year and at this point I'm feeling very grateful for what I still have. I can't help but think of how many people have lost family & friends to Covid-19 and how many families will be incomplete today. Most of my family/relatives have been gone for years now, so I miss them a lot at Christmas because the 9 of us always celebrated together. But I'm so glad to still have my mom with me, especially in light of the virus.

I'm also thankful for all of you, my online friends! I'm sorry for not being a very good friend this year. Please keep safe and have a very Merry Christmas (if you celebrate). No White Christmas here - just rain - but enjoy some Bing & Frank! :)

I realize this video is a year old now, but I made the caps last December and then never got back to them! So here they are at last. Merry Christmas!!!

Pretty much the only reason I watched Jay Leno back in the day was for his Headlines feature.
Hope you find this as hilarious as I did! XD
