Party Train by The GAP JANUARY 1, 2023, we awoke early to finish preparations for guests and our good luck New Year's Day meal for friends and family. "Party Train" by The Gap was blasting throughout the house; we danced around the kitchen while my husband prepared the meat, and we set out snacks. Guests were arriving impatient to eat his exceptional food. We had collard greens symbolizing greenbacks (folding paper money), black-eyed peas to bring wealth in coins, and lima beans and rice, our standard comfort foods for gatherings. He always makes chicken and sometimes his famous baby back ribs.

Classic Endeavors. Runner-Up in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge.
The final ten seconds of a finicky year rushed to the finish line, never to be experienced again. The ball had dropped in Times Square, marking the end of yet another labeled chapter of this crazy thing called life...

L(ov/if)e Story
[A combination of “Letters of Gratitude” and “The Sountrack of Your Year” challenges] . . My love, We are reaching the end of this first year, 2024, with no interruption of you in my mind and I want to thank you for your constant presence in my nomad life. I want to give you something that would remain in our minds no matter the passing-by of years to come. Since I know you love music as much as I do, this letter will be a humble musical depiction of what my world looked like/felt like throughout the year. I want you to see how, even when you were not physically there at times, you were always there with me.

Unveiling the Mystique: A Deep Dive into the World of Mirrors on the Moon
With an evocative name that brings to mind images of celestial beauty and introspection, Mirrors on the Moon has become a rising force in the contemporary music scene. This is the kind of band defined by their emotive lyrics, ethereal soundscapes, and bold artistic vision. The result is a kind of music that is both heartfelt and meaningful in a world of trends.

Hard rain fall. Top Story - December 2024.
Couple of weeks ago, I talked to some young people about Bob Dylan and the new Searchlight Pictures movie A Complete Unknown. It was clear from the way they spoke that, even if they had heard of Dylan, they were not familiar with any of his music. Unlike (say) The Beatles, Bob Dylan was very much of his generation. Beatles songs continue because they have a sort of timelessness to them and have been widely emulated by the likes of Britpop band Oasis, among others. Dylan's music lived, and kinda died, with the hippy era of free love, peace and anti-war protest. Those young people who have never heard songs such as Like a Rolling Stone are going to hear a lot more of Dylan this year.
