Patience: Yes I know it’s the name of a Guns and Roses classic. But it is also my New Year’s resolution. Except it’s not so much of a resolution as it is a daily goal: to be more patient with myself and with others. So maybe (in spite of the stupid name for their latest […]
Joan Osborne’s version of this classic is a belter. I first saw it when I watched the outstanding documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown and was pleasantly stunned and surprised (given that I had not been a fan of previous songs of hers that I had encountered). It’s one of the few documentaries that […]

Well here’s some excitement! For me anyway. I am sitting on the lounge with my laptop using the internet through my wireless connection. I know that anybody who’s anybody is probably thinking “get with it Wendy, we’ve all been doing for, like, years” but I haven’t. So do a little wireless happy dance for me.

“I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink” Well it feels like that anyway. Perhaps Christmas was a little too much excitement for me.

Well of course this is not technically a Christmas song, and I was looking for a version of Lennon’s So this is Christmas etc, but couldn’t find a good one. While some might look back and see the message of Imagine as naive and idealistic, I don’t think it hurts to be reminded of the […]
