Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

KOKE-FM's Country Gold Will Never, Ever Be The Same Again

It had been a tradition on Saturday morning radio, both in Austin, Texas, and, for a time, on my personal computer via streamlining. The all-time great country songs performed by the all-time great country singers who helped shape the country music genre for a period of time in the 20th century. You'd hear all the big hit songs, the moderate hits, and a few rare cuts. That is what made the "Country Gold Show" work on two Austin radio stations, first on KVET-FM (98.1),...

At Least, Frisco Schools GET To Do This

Posted 10-30-2015 at 07:36 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-30-2015 at 08:13 AM by case44

This type of thing doesn't happen every week in most Texas school districts, and it's all due to distance, proximity, logistics, and individual planning. In the case of Frisco, Texas, and its school district, you can say that miracles never cease.

Here's the skinny: The weather forecast is calling for heavy thunderstorms with lots of lightning on Friday night. Two football games were planned for that night. Two others were taking place on Thursday night,...

Something To Chew On? Dealing With A Closed Dentist's Office

Posted 10-26-2015 at 03:34 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Not only am I writing to you right now, I am also writhing. That's because I've had a nagging pain below the lower bridge in my mouth since the weekend. It also happens to be in a spot where I had gotten a root canal some two or three years ago (and was actually written about here). Let's just hope that I don't have to miss any work if worse came to worse.

This writer has done it all. I've done the saltwater rinse. I've done the Anbesol. I've eaten aspirin as if it...

Hey, everyone! Guess what it's time for again? That's right. Ol' Case is back in his perch to do some more Scattershooting with the masses, right here with you on City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive. Gather up some marshmallows and the coat hanger of your choice, and let's circle the wagons around the computer campfire. Much to talk about here with little time to waste.

It's being talked about as the biggest storm to ever hit landfall...

That Wonderful Everly Brothers Harmony

Posted 10-17-2015 at 07:50 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Something like this would likely rank among songs that people can't get out of their heads. We have such a thread hidden somewhere in the Music forums, but that's not important now. It probably wouldn't matter what song it is, but this writer cannot get the music of a famous duo out of his head.

And that can be a good thing.

I'm sure you all remember The Everly Brothers. Sure you do. Phil and Don and those great harmonies they used to employ on every...
