Well, I…

Farewell to Levon Helm and Dick Clark

A farewell to Levon Helm, a Canadian, who saw more in music from south of the border than most people who live south of the border. A fantastic singer who played drums at the same time. To have that combination -- a singer drummer --was very rare in the world. Performing with The Band, he helped create the most authentic, modern day interpretation of American history, dating back to the 1860s. They had one of the most incredible historical songs that has been…

A Stairway to Heaven for Hubert Sumlin

"I was deeply saddened to hear that another great musician, guitarist, Hubert Sumlin, left this planet the night before last.

Along with his passing goes a piece of an era that changed the face of music everywhere.
Blues is embedded in the hearts of every individual and Hubert, one of the greatest, helped make it what it is today".
