C Is For

Clarence Clemons - who left us before he had the chance to make one last tour - I guess that is yet another example for us to live each day as fully as we can for we never know when it will be our time to go -

Here are two I pulled from YouTube -







Here is a link to one of NPR's Blogs - some of his other signature works are included there -actually two tunes that SO come to mind when one pictures AND hears Clarence -

I'll admit I did not get caught up in the Bruce craze when he first hit the scene - but over the years, I've learned the errors of my ways - and I'm so making up for what I missed back then - thanks S!

UPDATE after the airing of NBC Nightly News - here is Brian Williams's very nice piece -

I mentioned on my last post about how I was looking forward to receiving my Blackie and The Rodeo Kings new release - well, it arrived last week - but I'm still waiting to actually hear it - my package was devoid of the actual CD - BUT I wrote Amazon - and another one is on the way - and I should receive it today - I don't even have to send back the empty package - UPDATE after receiving the CD - GREAT STUFF!

Hope all have a great week - in my hemisphere, Summer starts tomorrow - time for Khyra and me to hide until the return of Autumn!

Cheers!

T Is For

Timing...for as they say, timing is everything -

Thanks to the time I left for work on Saturday, I got to hear Blackie and The Rodeo Kings - along with EmmyLou Harris - I SO wish I could find the song they did together but it isn't out there - part of the words that snagged me were "I'm just a step away from your heart" - I did pull some of their other tunes from their website and YouTube - and I ordered the 'album' - it comes out on Tuesday - hearing them - and seeing them - brought back many memories - they also reminded me of The Domino Kings - another group I lucked into back in 2005 - I actually had planned on sharing them 'here' at some point -

Oh to have the 't'ime to do that - I feel like I'm never caught up in Blog World - even with Khyra's kind khlearing of our Google Reader, I'm back to looking at 300+

I might just have to do it again - and somehow figure out how to manage them better - and not feel compelled to visit everyone - and leave comments - etc - I know most Bloggers DO understand but...

So, please enjoy the tunes that follow my babbling - and since I don't want to take more time to finesse this post, I'll just say

CHEERS!
