Review of the Heather Myles CD Just Like Old Times
Super talented Country artist Heather Myles has released her latest CD on the Hightone recording label, entitled Just Like Old Times.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Just Like Old Times. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Just Like Old Times has a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Just Like Old Times is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy if you're even mildly into Country music.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 5 - Make A Fool Out Of Me, track 6 - The Other Side Of Town, and track 12 - Playin’ In The Dirt
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Love Lyin’ Down. Great track!

About the Author
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying; What does this line mean?
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
These 4 lines to be exact.
I would like to know what they mean.
Thanks.
these are the first lines of Robert Herrick's poem : To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time is perhaps one of the most famous poems to extol the notion of carpe diem. Carpe diem, or seize the day, expresses a philosophy that recognizes the brevity of life and therefore the need to live for and in the moment. Seizing the day means eating, drinking and making merry for tomorrow we shall all die. The phrase was used by classicists such as Horace, and its spirit marks the theme of Herricks lyric poem. Echoing Ben Jonsons' poem, Song: To Celia, the speaker of the poem underscores the ephemeral quality of life and urges those in their youth to actively celebrate life and its pleasures; however, the speaker does not urge the virgins simply to frolic adulterously, but to seek union in matrimony, thereby uniting the natural cycles of life and death with the rites and ceremonies of Christian worship. Although a very common theme in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century verse, and particularly in Cavalier poetry, the association of Christianity and carpe diem is not a traditional one; it is unique to Herrick and perhaps natural given Herrick's thirty-two year career as vicar of Dean Prior, an appointment originally bestowed by King Charles I. Written during a period of great political unrest that culminated in Britain's Civil War, the theme and the sage advice proffered by the speaker of the poem appears appropriate in this particularly transient period. The carpe diem spirit, however, has translated to modern times and is the theme of Henry James The Ambassadors and Robert Frosts' Carpe Diem.

Old Time Radio Christmas
The Christmas season reminds us of sparkling Christmas trees, roasting chestnuts, delicious foods, and special time with family and loved ones. Next to a warm fire, cozy with loved ones and hot chocolate in hand, the holidays are one of the best times to listen to old time radio shows. This time of year is celebrated in the vast collection of old time radio Christmas recording. Many traditional Christmas stories and films were adapted to radio, including It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Holiday Inn, Miracle of 34th Street, Gift of the Magi, and have been broadcast and repeated many times on radio.
There are many memorable Christmas old time radio shows. In Santa and the Wicked Pirate aired on radio December 22, 1942, George Burns and Gracie Allen worry that a knife sharpening neighbor fowl-napped that their duck, Herman. On the Jack Benny program, Jack Buys Don Shoe Laces For Christmas aired December 8th, 1946, the notoriously parsimonious Benny questions whether to buy Don plastic or metal tipped shoelaces. In the children's adventure serial Cinnamon Bear, the extra Irish bear Paddy O'Cinnamon takes a trip to Maybeland and meets a wonderful assortment of fantasy creatures including a dragon, a giant, a witch, a whale, a queen, a rhyming rabbit, a magician among others.
Christmas Old Time Radio shows are fine listening to nostalgic listeners who remember the shows for Radio's Golden Age as well as younger listeners in search of high quality Christmas entertainment. The holiday continues to evolve in many ways, but a general feeling of peace and goodwill to all remains central to the Holiday season.
Many influences shape what American's expect from the Christmas including classic Christian traditions and American media depiction of Christmas in films and old time radio shows. There are many old time radio Christmas shows that allow imaginative storylines within the theme and the setting of Christmas and are a far cry from the usually Holiday-theme fare. These are the enjoyable Christmas shows from the old time radio era because they reflect the social mores of the time and are quite unique stories in their own right.
Dragnet is best known for its realistic portrayal of police crime solving from paperwork to wild fistfights with gun toting criminals. In the first Christmas-themed Dragnet, the producers aired Dragnet Twenty-Two Rifle for Christmas on December 22, 1949. The overly somber show, aired three days before Christmas morning, features two missing boys thought to kidnapped from their neighborhood. When one of the boys returns home, he admits to opening his Christmas present, Twenty-Two Rifle, early to play cowboys and Indians with the new neighborhood kid. All goes awry when the new kid trip and shoots himself in the stomach only to die in a nearby cave. Luckily for the naughty boy who opened his rifle-gift early, he gets all of the dead kids Christmas gifts from the despondent dad, which perhaps is a strange lesson in forgiveness. Jack Webb offers advice at the end of the program, "Don't buy your kid a Twenty-Two Rifle for Christmas."
In Norman Corwin's show This is My Best, the evil figures of history in hell plot (committee style) to over throw Christmas in exceptionally evil ways. Some of the suggested plots include replacing candy canes with dynamite, assassinating Santa Claus, changing the traditional hymns to fast music, and convincing bureaucrats to pass a law to prohibit Christmas. To add to the entertainment value, the whole script is in rhyme even as they vote to murder Saint Nicholas to destroy Christmas and all its merriment.
