Russian expression: A puppet thinks he is free if he loves his strings. ( sounds like the Stockholm Syndrome). Be just around the corner Just down the street, Everything we’re looking for, every time we meet. Honesty must always be brutal, or it grows dangerously close to self-deception and then on to lies. Shadow Strike-…

Two songs recorded by Sonny Rollins in 1956, Decision and St. Thomas, are two of my favorites. Sonny moved on yesterday at the age of 95. No longer having to agonize over his music. An original and one of the greatest saxaphone players of all time. When asked what saxaphone players he admired, “he said…

Darkness at the break of noonShadows even the silver spoonThe handmade blade, the child’s balloonEclipses both the sun and moonTo understand you know too soonThere is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scornSuicide remarks are tornFrom the fools gold mouthpieceThe hollow horn plays wasted wordsProves to warnThat he not busy being bornIs…

David Johansen passed away this week. Known as one of the icons of punk/ glam rock. My wife and I were in Barbados when we first heard his solo album “HOT HOT HOT”, as Buster Poindexter, and immediately fell in love with it. R&B, Soul, it featured songs such as the Freddie Scott original of…

Sonny Rollins is, by any reasonable estimation, a genius. He is jazz’s greatest living improviser, able to imbue his solos with wry humor, surprise, brilliant logical form and profound emotion. Time and time again, he created something miraculous out of thin air, and he did it until he could do it no longer. The 89-year-old…

He was and is an inspiration to so many of his fans who were his contemporaries, as well as a poetic, spiritual, melodic, cool, grandfather figure to millions of younger fans. A great loss for all music fans. His music spanned six decades. Some of his best work came after he turned 65. "Ten New Songs", one…

Riley King(a.k.a. B.B. King) died during his sleep. I had the great pleasure of seeing and hearing him perform during his 80th birthday tour. Aside from having a strong beautiful style of playing, B.B. had a beautiful expressive voice and a personality that generated warmth, humility, humor, love, and respect. Probably more than anyone, B.B.…

While Elvis Presley had the whole package to become one of entertainments giant stars, the Everly Brothers brought a quality of sound that was unmatched in early rock and roll. Along with Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly they had a sound that was unmistakable. Their most famous songs were the best…

Lou Reed past away yesterday. Few can say they wrote and performed a seminal song. Walk On The Wild Side is just such a song. He will be missed and admired by many. Millions didn't know him or his work but his influence is undeniable. An original who possessed excellent musical skills. I had the…

"A song is a prismatic thing, nonlinear. Writing songs, you are looking for rhymes that feel right—things that come to you even as you are singing. They come to you quick-like. Sometimes even in a scatological way. You don't have time to distill meanings or ideological fallout. You want to make sure that the feeling…

Jimmy Buffett's latest album Buffett Hotel released December, 2009, is a prime example of a musician who just gets better regardless of being on the north side of sixty. Fine voice, interesting arrangements, great melodies and different material are all on display here. A more expansive group of musicians than he has used in the past all…

Les Paul,the inventor of the electric guitar and the first multitrack recording device past away today at a very ripe old age. In addition to being an inventor who had an enormous effect on music and popular culture, Mr. Paul ( Lester William Polfus ) was an accomplished musician winning many Grammys and recording # 1 hits throughout a…

Well can’t a singer act out a song? Yeah sure, a lot of them do. But the more you act the further you get away from the truth. And a lot of those singers lose who they are after a while. You sing, “I’m a lineman for the county,” enough times and you…

One of the greatest singers and performers died this month. He not only revolutionized the way other singers performed, he revolutionized the way we dance in this country. His name was James Brown. He was a master of the moves, had a seven piece horn section within a tight band, and brought a new level…

The Afghan, the latest espionage book by Frederick Forsythe hit the N.Y.T. best seller list top 10 in it's first week of release. I have enjoyed Forsythe novels in the past, however you could wonder why the lukewarm reviews didn't dampen the public's appetite for this novel. Bob Dylan's newest album, Modern Times, came out…
