32 Jazz and Joel Dorm was a godsend. Sorry the label is no longer around.

In Sunday’s New York Times, David Hajdu wrote that 100 years ago, Mamie Smith recorded a seminal blues hit, Crazy Blues, that gave voice to outrage at violence against Black Americans. “It established the blues as a popular art and prepared the way for a century of Black expression in the fiery core of American music.” A Song That Changed Music Forever

What has happened to public decency in this country. When I was a kid back in the Stone Age we took courses on civics to inculcate in us shared values, democracy, getting along with our fellow citizens, etc. What happened to all that? Guess it was all a big lie (especially if you’re Black). Call me naive. Guess we all were.

I can’t see how there will be NFL football this year although the pundits and sports talk stations are acting as if there will be.

That’s just a fucked up situation. It’s one thing if a person doesn’t want to wear a mask, quite another when they go out of their way and commit an assault. I fear that if Trump is re-elected the sky will be the limit on cases and deaths.

I know from having lived in Uruguay and Spain and stories that you don’t say something about a Latin person’s mother, unless you’re really asking for trouble. Even in jest saying something like “tu madre” is a recipe for trouble.

It was the choice of smiley face that made me wonder. *** Although I have the cd, I picked up this LP at one of my estate sales earlier this year. Cleaned it and sounds good.

I’m curious why you said this.

I see Horace Clarke has passed away. RIP. He was a good player (him and Jerry Kenney) on bad Yankee teams and had the bad luck to play for them when the Yankees entered the wasteland.

Hope she and/or you took it up with the authorities and hope she’s ok.

Perhaps there are contractual issues to which we are not privy.

You can probably thank that hack of a postmaster general.

Couldn’t agree more. Why people don’t understand that mask wearing helps us beyond me. Actually, it’s not. It’s politics over science. It’s predicted that up to half of the population may refuse a vaccine. I wish I could leave this country, I really do. What a hellhole.

I’m not a fan of people who don’t wear masks but you just don’t throw coffee in people’s faces. Frankly, I don’t bother to tell people they should wear a mask. I’m not interested in confrontation and they’re not going to change their minds.

That’s hardly a reason to agree with the approach, because he was there. I have to agree with Jim.

A good one.

Nope!

Do Santa Fe and Rio Rancho have similar zip codes? If so, that happens sometimes.

Or CDRs.

Is that ftfym65? If so, that is true. You buy the cd, then they get the cd from the supplier. I’ve used them and had no problems.
