A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Life Is A Song #97

February 25, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Fame is fleeting.  More often, it is completely absent.  This is especially true of my family.  It is likely true of most of your families as well.  When presented with such dearth of familial fame, it is not uncommon to bask in the secondary glow exuding from those around us who have been blessed with […]

My Life Is A Song #95

I went to a small town, K-8, elementary school.  I shared a class with pretty much the same 25 kids every year.  In the upper years, I can’t remember in which it started, we did class gift exchanges at Christmas.  We’d each draw a name from a hat and give whichever classmate we pulled a […]

The year 2010 was a big one for our family.  My wife was on maternity leave with our son and the job I had expected to work at during this time had evaporated due to the lingering aftereffects of the 2008 economic meltdown combined with the cratering of natural gas prices.  So, you know, kind […]

One night, long before children, even before marriage, though I was either engaged already or definitely common-law in the eyes of the government, I had trouble falling sleeping.  These brief bouts with insomnia occur a handful of times each year.  Usually they happen when something worrisome is on my mind and I can’t shut down […]

My Life Is A Song #89

Is there anything better than cock rock bands channeling their inner classical musician?  Sure, The Beatles did the whole strings section thing and made rock music dignified, but when a cheesy hard rock band does it the results are truly magical.  Giggle-worthy, yes, but magical. Now, if that band happens to be a relatively obscure […]

My Life Is A Song #75

I’ve harped more than a few times in these pages that my access to rock and pop music was delayed a few years.  When it finally did come, I obviously had some catching up to do.  Furthermore, it likely meant I became aware of historically monumental music differently than many of you.  That all being […]
