So as I noted in last week’s newsletter, I have taken the plunge to create a newsletter which I will send to you on Fridays on a weekly basis (oops! I know I said bi-weekly) and appear here on my newly named website: Preferences by Johnny Louey. After reading and viewing Khe’s recommendations on how to create a newsletter, it has inspired me to have one of my own. The topics of this newsletter will revolve around the highlighted topics below. Let’s begin:
My Foodie Adventures Finally, Chicken Salad Chick is in South Florida. By the end of this weekend, I am probably going to check out Hot Chicks-House of Chicken based in Pembroke Pines, FL. It has been recommended by NBC’s Today show and Yelp. Check out my review coming soon!
Nostalgia Well, as a music lover except for some country music, I love 60’s TV shows. One in particular was “It Takes A Thief” starring Robert Wagner. He played a sophisticated thief Alexander Mundy, who works for the U.S. government in return for his release from prison. What I loved about these episodes was the theme song played by Dave Grusin. I know he wasn’t the original music creator but he revamped it to make it funkier. Here’s a great playlist I found on the music of “It Takes A Thief” series that lasted between 1968 and 1970. Enjoy!

Apps to try out
Mailchimp: As you probably read in last week’s newsletter, I created/co-founded 2 newsletters the “Mighty News Feed” and “Communique” using Mailchimp. In the past 7 years, it has worked for me. It can help you market smarter and grow. Explore Forever Free Options as well as it makes it easy to create email campaigns, landing pages, and more. The free version is all you need to start but if you get the paid version it can be costly but have great features.
70’s/80’s music I have been listening to this past week
Sade
David Grusin, Lee Ritenour and Michael Franks live.
Where are they now? Lee Majors: I was thinking about this actor when I happened to come across his show on TV the other day. This Six Million Dollar Man actor looks like he’s doing well at age 81 and has a hottie for a wife!
