Welcome to Maass Media!

My goal for this blog is to share the music I listen to with as many people as possible.  If this is your first time here, all you need to know is that everyday I post good songs from different genres of music.  There is a list of genres on the left - clicking on a genre will lead you to a list of songs (with links to hear them) that I have posted on my blog. 

Any time you see a portion of text in brown that means it's a link.  If you want to leave a comment, click on the comment box at the bottom of the post you want to comment on.  Rock on!

Put on your hoodie; you'll catch a death of a cold

An old song about a red hoodie. Aaron, I hope you and your pals are warm as you trek around in the Smokies. (You know how Jews tend to wander around in the wilderness for 40 years because no one would stop to ask for directions) Love, Aaron's mom

Chicago: My Kinda Town

Well, I have a bad feeling in my gut about the Blackhawk's fate at the merciless hands of the Detroit Red Wings. So to get my mind off Chicago sports pain, I thought I'd pay tribute to the great band, CHICAGO!!

Chicago…the band…from ChicagoKid1969
