And we are all better for it. His catalogue never ceases to amaze me. The catalogue of his mind. I know I don’t put much on here any more but I do always check it if just to see what nugget Goodowl has come up with. I’ve always enjoyed your inputs as well amigo.

OK now I feel obliged to add a little something.

Well, thanks to both of you for your kind compliments. When I was a lad I had a much narrower view of music. Though I did grow up singing in a traveling classical-based choir, then later became a DJ. Had a great female drummer who was a decade older than me in a band once who really got me exposed to jazz and such, took me to some drum workshops and opened the door to me trying out new styles. Growing up in the south, the traditional Southern redneck music was always around, so it was not until later that I really delved into it. When I was young I listened to the radio...waiting for my favorite song...but I digress.

I always try to look up and post the song/artist info because having written so many myself, I understand a little about the time and effort that goes into the craft, and it makes it more interesting to me if I like a song to see what else was on that album. These days, with all the streaming, that is not as important that it used to be, and that's a shame to me. We always complained about the system and the corporate machine that controlled much of music back in the day, but there were benefits to that filtration that are more apparent now. Plus, you could be into obscure bands and music and give yourself some cred by being part of a subculture if you wished. Anyways, I enjoy listening and sharing here with ya'll, and appreciate learning what you guys listen to as well. Even when there aren';t as many commonalities, music sharing seems to be a way to bridge gaps with folks in life, I've found. Thanks to ya'll and lets' keep it going!

Here's one my dad liked; hope you enjoy it too. I miss him bunches:
