Why It Takes So Long to Do These Doggone Blogs

Take today for example.  After writing earlier about the death of Paul Tanner and his electro-theramin instrument heard on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," I got the urge to watch the video, so went to You Tube, always a mistake when it comes to time as one thing leads to another.

OK, I got the video up.  By the way, Mike Love played the electro-theramin on stage.  Well, of course, what's better than one Beach Boy performance?  So then, there were many others, including "Surfer Girl," "California Girls," "Wendy" and "Little Deuce Coupe."

One mean thing You Tube does is put other things on the page that you might want to see.   Well, that led to John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves" with some of the funniest pictures I've ever seen.  And then, "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian."

Then, the Fratellis and about ten of their videos.  I wrote about them yesterday in connection with the streak of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Then the Donald Duck "Window Washer" cartoon which, wost of all led to "A Christmas Story."  My favorite-ever Christmas movie.  This one really took a lot of time.  I started with "A Christmas Story: The Documentary" where two fans go to the grand-opening of the house in Cleveland and visit a lot of the filming sites.

Then there were two parts of Behind the Scenes :The Christmas Story Parts 1 and 2.  And then "A Christmas Story Cast Reunion" on the Voice.
