How Is Music Bettering Your Life?
There's a musician that once said, "You could sing a song to 85,000 people and 85,000 people will sing it back to you for 85,000 different reasons." That's always left a mark with me because it's so true. Music can mean so much to so many; it can remind you of the days you spent with friends, the day you get married, your parents, your children, and so much can be felt by the mingling of notes, chords, and melodies. It's really rather amazing when you think about it.

Rising to the Stars
This small town group out of Texas is starting to shake-up the surrounding states and their major cities. Formed in 2012, this prominent and talented band has started to turn the heads of some bigger names that could send them sky-rocketing into fame. If you're able to ever catch this group performing in, close to, or around your town. You'll have to hurry-out! You need to see them for yourself to see what the rave is all about. They mainly play a big variety of classic rock songs. The only difference is they twist-up some of the songs and add their style. Which, they do very well. They also have their original songs that are coming out soon in their new album. Marked to be released some time within the next year of 2020. If you could hear the crowds go crazy with the cover songs they do? You should hear the crowds just lose it when they kick off an original song.

15th of June, 1978: 'Street-Legal' by Bob Dylan is Released
Street-Legal was an album released in 1978 and recorded in 1977, during Bob Dylan's marital problems with Sara Lownds. The album is different in the act of using female backing vocals and continues with the eery Mexican style sound found on Desire on some of the songs. However, there are some songs on the album that sound more like a mix between the gospel era and the album Desire - it may have marked Dylan's transition from one to the other.

A Chef, Without the Line: Part 3
Part 3 Do you ever get signs from a higher being, person, dream, thing, or energy? Maybe even déjà vu? I have always got signs on what I should be doing with my life, sometimes before I know I should be doing the things I have been shown in a dream or memory that vanishes like a smoky mist in the wind.

A Chef, Without the Line
Part 2.5 Today, I woke up thinking that today was going to be like any other day. I have a daily routine of checking emails lying in bed after I wake up; scrolling through Instagram, reading the news, all while the crusted dry eye boogers rip away from my eye balls.
