Coffee, career advice and more with Mr. B
Ellen Huxtable at Advantage Business Concepts offers some valuable career advice in this item. Ellen, a longtime friend, is active in the business community and coordinates the small business networking group that meets regularly at the Congregational Church of Batavia. She frequently writes about business matters and her most recent column offers suggestions (reminders) for enhancing your job performance. Number 4 is my favorite, and I think No. 6 is an absolute essential.
Gems from the Music Vault
January 18 is another big day in music history, in my opinion. Here are two noteworthy gems from my Music Vault:
• Jan. 18, 1978: Warren Zevon releases the “Excitable Boy” album. The collection remains one of my favorites and includes “Lawyers, Guns and Money”. A good friend in high school introduced me to this album shortly after it was released. It's curious how artistic works - songs, movies, photos - can establish immediate and lasting memories for us. I can't explain how it all works, but I am grateful that it does. Hope you enjoy this little ditty as much as I do.
• Jan. 18, 1983: Canadian rocker Bryan Adams releases the album “Cuts Like a Knife”. The album contained three songs that would later appear on the Hot 100 chart, including “Straight From the Heart,” and “Cuts Like a Knife”. The album is widely considered to be one of the best of the 1980s. I agree with the assertion. It was released during my junior year at college, which turned out to be the wildest three years of my life (so far). I have many fine memories associated with the music Adams produced early in his career, and "Cuts Life a Knife" helped create many of those memories.
