| Over seas music vendors I have also bought from a German label called Blue Rose Records www.bluerose-records.com which is a great source of Americana. They have some pretty obscure bands like the Del-lords, Danny and Dusty (Steve Wynn from the Dream Syndicate and Dan Stu... | |
| RIP Scott Weiland I thought he was good in Velvet Revolver playing the role of the "lizard king". Unfortunately, with his history of abuse, his tragic death was not a complete surprise. | |
| Are stars that have contracts with the Vegas hotels relevant anymore I think that overall gaming revenues are down and the casinos have to provide entertainment to attract people. They underestimated the competition from the Indian casinos, yet still have to pay for the investments in their facilities. I think that... | |

| Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home? I live in Atlanta and we used to have a really great selection on the FM dial. Unfortunately, consolidation and the purchase of the best college station to be converted to a 3rd NPR format has destroyed the former diversity. I used to enjoy gettin... | |
| Why not accordion ? Years ago in my bachelor days,I went through a Cajun phase where I regularly visited friends in New Orleans to party. I picked up a taste for zydeco. Of course, the accordion is integral in zydeco music and the best practitioners use the instrumen... | |
| Chris Squire, Rest in Peace Misspelled "chords'...sorry. | |
| Chris Squire, Rest in Peace One of the best bass players ever. I have had the pleasure of seeing Yes live several times and Squire's musicianship and song writing ability laid the foundation for very complex works. It takes real skill for a bass player to perform as the lead... |
