Father-Daughter Tay-ronto

November 24, 2024December 13, 2024 Jo Tango

It took a lot of planning and doing, but my daughter and I went to Tay-ronto for the concert. It was very surreal in that we had some good seats, and so, could see Taylor as a human being vs. an image on a flat screen or as a voice on a song. We were

Taylor

May 22, 2023May 28, 2023 Jo Tango

It took a small miracle, two laptops, five hours, and a savvy daughter to tell me what to do, but we scored Taylor Swift tickets when they were put on sale. Last night was the show, and we had a great time. My daughter’s friend joined us, and it was a lot of fun to

Orkestra Obsolete’s ‘Blue Monday’

July 24, 2017July 24, 2017 Jo Tango

YouTube recommendations are pretty amazing. Last night, I wrote about 1980s music and added a link to a music video. YouTube then recommended to me some other music videos. Below, is a cool version of New Order’s “Blue Monday.” In its day, it often was played at clubs. Catchy melodies and pensive lyrics. This version

The Psychedelic Furs

July 23, 2017July 23, 2017 Jo Tango

One of our teens has a fair amount of 1980s music on her Spotify list. My friend, C.A. Webb, recently posted about reliving the ’80s by going to a Tom Petty concert. Our son is arranging for his a cappella group a-ha’s “Take on Me.” All of this made me think of the songs with
