Fine Dining...

Had a chat with a friend from my past this morning.  Years ago... she introduced me to the healing power of Cat Stevens' music, a good meal, & conversation with friends about one's outlook for the future.
    ...Thanks D.



Morning Has Broken  ~  Cat Stevens.



A unique live performance of Morning Has Broken (link can't be embedded here)

Note: I know some of you will write to complain about Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens. I offer this next song... but it's the music that personally brings me a sense of Peace, not the politics of deaf men around the globe.

Music Pill

"There's no damn business like show business...
      You have to smile to keep from throwing up"
                                                                                                                        Billie Holiday



If it wasn't for the healing power of the MUSIC, I would never have tried to find John Bartee... the business of Music, and the actions & deeds of those collecting the dead presidents, will turn your soul.

ASCAP has made it very hard to do what is right regarding John's son.  I have jumped over and over to get them to acknowledge the truth.  I need some MUSIC to get me ready for the next round.  Been listening to something a little different than Big Band, Jazz & Latin...   

Charlie Christian influenced me to pick up a guitar; here is someone who can start us on an enjoyable journey.
