Feelings in song

What a surprise, when I came home today from visiting the Imagination Station with my grandchildren. There in front of my two eyes were two large trash cans. One had Recycle on it. I have been waiting for this day since I learned that we were going to have automated trash collecting. They are not as large and cumbersome as I thought they would be. Great! Sorry, if anyone loses their job to this automated system but I can't wait to use mine.

I had to laugh at this one it shows how ridiculous we've all became. I wonder what the rest of the world thinks of our insanity?

Absolutely wonderful rendition of "I dreamed a dream" from Les Miserables by an under estimated amatuer....

For comparison from [Les Miserables] 10th anniversary - I Dreamed a Dream

Good on her....

Okay, I generally detest American Idol/Dancing With the Stars-type stuff, but someone forwarded this to me and thought I'd share. It's pretty damn cool. Turn your speakers up and maybe grab a tissue.

I don't do a lot of political songs, but I'm a folk singer and I have to do some in order to keep my "union card." So I posted a song that puts Toledo politics into some historical perspective on my myspace page. Enjoy. www.myspace.com/russfranzen

When I heard that Carty left Scout in the car again Sunday, I thought I'd share this song. It's on my MySpace page and can be downloaded. Enjoy.

I found this on YouTube. It's hilarious. Below is a cut/paste description from the YouTube person that created it (EyeBlast.tv):

In Campaign 2008, YouTube has become a forum for voters (and some candidates) to voice their political preferences in song. There's not a Grammy contender in the bunch. Here's a glimpse of the best of the worst.

Tonight is the All Star game. So, maybe, for just one night, can we forget about:

Another day another disappointment. Now I am an "Internet Terrorist".

18 months is a long time my friend

I was walking past the Blade over last weekend and early this week and I heard a lot of the employees whistling this song. I swear I thought I saw some of the editors dancing very similar to the dancing in the video.
