Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

That query needs more information. Where was the high school? Where was the guy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think he's guessing that it's a cover, in which case it doesn't matter what High School, etc.

I just finished reading this really well-written piece about HBCU marching bands - specifically Prarie View A&M's Marching Storm in today's Times. The video that accompanies it covers everything the story does and is very good as well.

OK, for you music people, thoughts on Tom Russell, specifically Man From God Knows Where
I get goosebumps from it, but I think there is some self-identification going on. (Half my ancestry is recent Scand immigrants, other half are are farmers of irish immigrant origin. And then we spread out to Cali and had black sheep and don't really resemble our rootsand really are only americans and...) I mean, I've found the records of my grandmother's passage through Ellis Isle, and that stuns me how recent that was.
Is it just sentiment, or is it really as good as I like to think? (Not that a criticism will make the goosebumps go away... I like his voice.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aha! Take that Book!
I just wrote the ending. Which, unfortunately, does not mean the book is done yet. But it didn't have an ending and now it does.
It's either very good or crap. (Something to do with potatoes and spiderwebs. How can that be wrong?!) After some seventy two hours of writing I can't really tell anymore.
Other sections seem to be very good though. I go back to fix things and instead say, "Hmmm, that'll do pig words."
Still not done. And it has to be done by tomorrow. But it is a whole book now. Just some sections have holes and the joins are rough.
I will continue with the sandpaper until I have to hand it over.

As long as it's not pretentious.
Congrats, David!
