Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Occasionally you hear about the passing of a musician you never heard of. One of the most remarkable things about the music business is that some of the most talented people are never front stage. Many are either session layers or band members who just provide the foundation for the star to shine.

There are singers and there are musicians. Occasionally you find some of both. Buddy Greco was an accomplished musician as well as a great stylist of the Vegas Style of performing arts.

It has been said that you need to have lived the blues to sing the blues. I am not sure I agree with that but when it comes to Jazz, I do think you have to live it to play and sing it. Al Jarreau did just that.

Back in my day, we had a similar prohibition about bathroom use and everyone knew the rules. Heaven forbid that you overstepped the rules back then.

Would trust this man with your wife? Do not answer that question, but there is one musician that trust this man with something way more important than his wife. Meet Willie Nelson's go to man when his famous guitar needs a rework.

I was never a great fan of Tom Jones until I dated a girl who actually loved him. Warning, this post contains no adult content. But maybe some adult inferences.

Each year-end brings the usual look back on those that have passed during the year. Here is my incomplete list of Music Icons that have passed in last twelve months. The list was compiled extemporaneously during the year as the news was reported.

Long before I got old and started living in the past, I was making memories rather than recalling them. One local group of musicians has been weaving into and out of my life since 1972.

Formerly known as the Chicago Transit Authority but had to drop the CTA due to the city's complaints. Chicago combined great musicians with great lyrics and a rousing beat that could wake up the dead. Or at least that is what I felt like after a long night on the stools.

Billy was born in the Bronx, New York City but raised in a area in Long Island called Hicksville. The population density of Hicksville was about twice that of my home city of Atlanta, but it apparently had the same neighborhood cohesion where I grew up.

He is a mediocre actor, a terrible singer, a real left winger, and an Oxford Scholar, but he is a patriot regardless of your thoughts on his politics. He served in the Army as a helicopter pilot and attained the rank of Captain. He also completed Ranger school which makes him a patriot in my book

As I wind down the series, I just had to present a couple of the Disco songs of the era. I have never been a dancer past the jitterbug era and never could learn the later other dances of the 60-70's including the John Travolta moves.

Jazz is a form of music, which starts with laying down a basic track, then adding different layers of interpretation. Often it includes multiple instruments weaving and bobbing around the basic melody. Great jazz is when several musicians take off on an uncharted journey through the basic chords u

No trip down memory lane would be complete without a few sad songs mixed with a couple of good old boy hits by Jim Croce.

After The Kingston Trio prepared the world for the folk era a group from New York extended the folk craze with their incredibly good instrumentation and harmony. They were highly produced and more accomplished as musicians than the Trio.

Three college boys who just enjoyed singing together turned the world on to folk music, but they never considered themselves as fold singers. They were just entertainers singing at colleges.
