As much as I like Aja, I actually like Royal Scam better. It'll be interesting to hear the new tunes. Notes ♫

Money - Pink Floyd

Was that created by The Chairman Of The Bored?

Create Me - Neil Diamond

Begone evil siprit

Twins - Philip Bailey & Little Richard

Nice playing on those "Rhythm Changes"

Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan

They may have gotten tied up for making an ethnic slur.

When single ladies near the age of 50, they tend to get lots of cats... This phenomenon is known as many-paws.

Six Days on the Road - Dave Dudley

Rocket 88 - Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats

The staff is flat on break. They'll be back at 9 sharp.

Rocket Man - One of my favorite Elton John songs The words are fine, and the production and musicians are stellar.

How true. I've been self-employed most of my life, and until I was old enough to collect Medicare, I had no health insurance. I couldn't afford to get sick. On the other hand, knowing you can't afford to get sick, and knowing in my case that you can't call in sick for work, results in a stronger, more vigilant immune system. BTW, to get excess wax out of my ear, I use the old-fashioned, now scorned on way of filling the ear canal with hydrogen peroxide for a minute or two before I get into the shower. In the shower, I use an ear syringe to rinse the softened wax out of my ear. This was recommended to me when I was a child. Recently I've read articles saying not to put HO in your ear, but I wax up very infrequently, and it hasn't hurt me yet. Science marches on, and it might be a good idea not to put HO in my ear anymore, but I like living life on the edge :D Notes ♫

Aliens? "Mr. Spaceman" - The Byrds

And just why is dsylexia so hard to spell?

I always have protected my ears. I use either Westone or Etymotic ear musician's ear plugs. They go into a mold the audiologist makes, and you can plug in 15db or 25db inserts. The attenuation is almost flat, with only a slight roll-off at high frequencies on the 25 db. I bring an SPL meter on stage. Monitor volumes are usually no louder than 95dba (A weighted, Slow response) and during sound test we make sure the volume at the closest table is no more than 85dba. Why? We are the pros, and have the responsibility not to permanently harm the hearing of our guests. Insights and incites by Notes

The early Beach Boys were steeped in the doo wop tradition. Here is an example: And my all-time favorite doo wop song (although I haven't heard them all)

I was digging around in the early roots of rock n roll for a Band-in-a-Box project and I came across this cut by The Clovers. Personally I think The Clovers should get more recognition as pioneers of rock and roll... They did this and so many rock standards first.

Groan...

Speak Low - Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae A nice version of this song by Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash That happens to be a very nice album, too.
