I love the guys and gals, who can sit down with a piano or guitar and just do it. No studio effects. No canned sound track. Just them and their pure, raw talent.

James Taylor, Carol King...just amazing.

Jim Croce, and Harry Chapin, who left us too early.

Dylan had that magic touch. He's on record admitting he can't do it anymore.
That's okay, Bob, you've more than justified your place in our memories

Leonard Cohen is wonderful.

"Everybody knows that you love me baby.
Everybody knows that you really do.
Everybody knows that you've been faithful.
ah, give or take a night or two.

Everybody knows that you've been discreet
there was so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes, and everybody knows."

Willie Nelson, so gifted, as a writer and performer. There are many, many others.

Bless all of them for making our lives better.

Willie's inspiration:

"you were always on my mind"

which is why I keep my gun close by

As Harry Chapin oft sang in Bananas, the country verse, a dog, truck and steel guitar goes a long way and a gun an maybe a curse.

We've had a life of great music, art and entertainment and when the Indians clinch the series, finally one of sport

Ain't waitin for the Browns, I got my 64 Jim Brown jersey for that one.
