I’m compelled to answer the second part of the comment on Jimi Hendrix’s Murder.. “All of this makes me think of the crossroad legend. Maybe Jimi made his best deal, and the devil came to get him when his time was up”.
The Crossroads legend and Robert Johnson. Some people say Robert Johnson met the ‘Devil’ [...]
Adina makes a bold comment on Jimi Hendrix ‘murdered by his manager’….and perhaps true. Well worthy of discussion..
Comment: Hendrix also didn’t get his own earnings. Was his manager the same guy who swindled him out of his money? And if this story is true wasn’t he killing the goose that laid the golden egg? All [...]
Dennis Hopper never became a super big name actor, but he has a trail of movies you would not believe. Hopper also has a line of awards and credits that would be hard for anyone to match.

I’m no Susan Boyle. Not musically or as a guitar player. She is so gifted one wonders why she has not been discovered before. Do you think she had some training? The way she holds herself and uses her arms as she sings comes so naturally. It is fair to say their may be [...]

I had an epiphany last night.
I am in Maryland right now with my family. Many of you know my dad is not well. It is very emotional time for us now. I have been busy helping my mom and sister to take a load off of them for while. I am blogging in my [...]

Last week on Feb. 6th, you may recall that my buddy Allan and I went to Orlando to see Buddy Guy and B.B. King in concert.
Here is the second part of the concert review. Now it is B.B. King’s turn.
B.B. King is 83 years old, but he continues his rigorous tour schedule and never [...]

Talk about coincidence. After writing the post It Sure Is Hard To Strike a Note After a Hard Day at Work…I realized that I resort to doing what I know how to do best when some income is needed. I am a mechanic by trade, as many of you know, a transmission mechanic by specialty. [...]
