Poison Heart — Ramones

I prefer to purchase something than to subscribe. I keep them at the absolute minimum. As a musician, my income is not regular. By not having a bunch of subscriptions, during the COVID lockdown, I didn't have to break into my savings.

Poison Was The Cure — Megadeth

Great jazz singer Cleo Laine too (at 97 years old). The music in the sky will be fine tonight

A Normal Story — The Cure

Higher Ground — Stevie Wonder

RIP Ozzy Wonder which way he went? (I hope he'd see the humor in that)

I had two aunts who lived in NJ, houses next door to each other. During WWII they were dancers in the USO shows, and lived in Connie's neighborhood. It was largely an Italian-American neighborhood, if I remember it correctly. We moved from NY to FL when I was still in elementary school, so I didn't get to visit them all that often.

RIP. She was a neighbor of one of my aunts. Not close friends, but acquaintances. I read that when she was offered the movie “Where They Boys Are” they told her she could have any MGM staff writer she wanted for the theme song. Instead, she picked Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and it turned out to be a good choice. We occasionally gig at Assisted Living Facilities here in Florida, and had one yesterday. We pulled out “Where The Boys Are” and it was the right choice for that audience. Especially since it was filmed in the town I grew up in, Fort Lauderdale. RIP Connie, and thanks for the music.

High And Dry — Radiohead

Slap That Bass — Fred Astaire

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood — Nina Simone
