Dallas Vietty reminded me, it’s traditional to do a top ten list at the end of a year. But considering I have only 18 posts to choose from, a top 10 would deplete over half of my inventory. So, how ’bout I resolve for more posts in 2011–that and 2 inches off my waistline. And for now I’ll settle for a fav 5. I also realize it’s customary to publish your top 10 (or fav 5) at the end of the year that the events actually occurred, not two days into the next year, but I’m a few days behind so bear with me.
In case you missed them the first time, you might want to give these posts a second look.
5. The inaugural blog post. This reminds readers of why I started this blog in the first place. I’m quite delighted I started it and I’d like to thank my faithful readers: my mother and my husband. OK, so my mom doesn’t have a computer, but I’m fairly certain she would read it if she could access it. Plus, this post links to the sounds of Golem, a Brooklyn band you absolutely mustn’t miss if they are playing anywhere at all near you.
4. Blob’s Park Bavarian Dance Hall – not only does this post highlight one of my favorite bands (Brave Combo-WOOT), it also promotes a cool dance hall in Maryland and, well, dancing–something people do far too little of, in my opinion. Make a pledge to dance more in 2011—it’s easier than you think if a polka and an accordion is involved.
3. See the man (or woman) with the stage fright. Oy. My stomach still clenches at the memory. But I am forever indebted to Happy Lucky Combo (don’t miss this fabulous band either!) for allowing me to play with them and make a fool of myself. I lived (stomach cramps and flop sweats aside) and you will as well if you get up and play in front of others.
2. Gregory Page. This was a fairly recent post but I really dig his music and I totally love the sweet little movie on his website. So if you missed it before, give it a listen.
1. Three accordions in an elevator. Without question this is my fav post of 2010. This video cracks me up and makes me happy. Enjoy.
