The Good Stuff
There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington
This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

I was introduced to The Gospel at Colonus from its airing on PBS (a DVD was later released but no longer available). The story of Oedipus set to gospel music is irresistible. I saw it performed live in the 1990's, with some of the original cast including The Blind Boys of Alabama. It was one of the most memorable performances of anything I've seen. |

Our Leader was wise in saying any genre . Many of the folk songs of other countries can unite the entire as one . This was the one that can do same for all Scotland.. These Scotts in their thousands are out to play Denmark at home The "High" means the dead Scottish Soldier will be back home before his love. It is so meaning full in that the Scottish Soldiers were the ones first to battle by the English .

Our Governor, at a press conference immediately after the incident, spent the entire time talking about the 'bravery' of the police. Now, he claims he was 'misled' as to the actual events that took place. But you know, normal people don't want to hear about the 'bravery' of cops when 19 children are lying dead. That should not be the first thing out of his mouth. Just goes to show you how shallow and unfeeling some people are. They recite the same political nonsense without any sense or appreciation of time, place or circumstance. Like robots with a shorted circuit. The cops: A big cowboy hat and a gun does not make you a hero. Action does. Cheers |
The only good thing of combat is you know who you are. The worst thing is you know but turn away till you don’t remember . I saw Abbot , complete and total phony , At least he missed the NRA . I was in it back when it was for hunters . Left when corporations bought it . Cheers P.S. when you sell your soul you are empty, half of us have . |

Healing Tide by The War And Treaty. TWAT (oh my ;-) are actually Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, a Gospel duo. This wonderful 2018 album was produced by another Christian, the great Buddy Miller. They will be performing at the upcoming Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon on Saturday July 2nd. Taj Mahal will be on stage the following day, but I believe without his partner on his new album with Ry Cooder. |
