For anyone who lost sleep due to deep draw down.........

Hahaaa, good humour. More serious note if you are still in Seoul, stay safe.

Yes, what a beautiful woman and what a voice. In this song she shows the power of her voice, especially at the close of the song. As the niece of Dionne Warwick, she was born into a family who knew the ropes of the business, and Dionne herself had plenty of trouble with men in her life...but poor Whitney went off the rails when she met that loser Bobby Brown...... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

On the birthday list today is the late, great Fats Domino, (Antoine Domino), singer, pianist, bandleader, songwriter. Domino attracted national attention with his first recording, ‘The Fat Man’, made in late 1949 for Imperial Records, an early rock-and-roll record. ‘The Fat Man’ sold one million copies by 1953 and it is widely considered the first rock-and-roll record to achieve this feat. Domino had 35 records in the US Billboard Top 40. Domino died on 24 October 2017 aged 89 at his home in Harvey, Louisiana after a long-term illness. A legend...nothing more to say.

Not my 'cup of tea' but there's no denying the huge input into music that this man gave for all his life. Having a birthday today is the late Johnny Cash US country singer, songwriter who was considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is remembered as a country icon, his songs spanned other genres including rock and roll and rockabilly and blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honour of induction in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. During the last stage of his career, Cash covered songs by several late 20th-century rock artists, most notably 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails. Cash died of respiratory failure on September 12th 2003, aged 71.

And I can't forget the birthday of Bob The Bear Hite, vocalist and harmonica player with Canned Heat who had the 1968 US No.11 single with ‘Going Up The Country’ and a 1970 UK No.2 single with ‘Let’s Work Together’. He died on April 5th 1981.

Music is very important part of everyone's life, our mind becomes more creative, we build up learning attitude by listening some excellent motivation songs, and we can be more focused on the aim. When negativity hits the head music is one which can clam you down and boost you back again towards being positive.

I have the virus a few chilometers from my house.
But at the same time I feel like we have (sort of) lost the sense of proportion and alarm.
Last week in Italy we had more than 200 deaths each day for simple, normal flu!

Every year in Europe the simple, normal flu affects 50 million people (on average) and causes 15,000 to 50,000 deaths!

I absolutely don't want to "downplay" the unknown ... but this is not the plague and not even Ebola.

The speed with which a disease can move from one end of the world to another is "the fruit of our time".
There are no walls that can stop them.

Two great Italian poets and writers, Manzoni and Boccaccio, related the plague in some of their books.
And the most terrible of its consequences was "the poisoning" of everyday social life!
So, at this moment and for the moment: calm down! Chill out the conversation.
This story is likely to have terrible social and economic consequences ...

Oh, Duffy dear... what a horrible story. (On newspapers now!)

An important birthday today is that of the late Brian Jones, multi-instrumentalist and founding member of The Rolling Stones. Originally the leader of the group, Jones placed an advertisement in Jazz News of 2 May 1962 inviting musicians to audition for a new R&B group. Jones came up with the name the Rollin' Stones while on the phone with a venue owner, who asked 'What are you called?' Jones saw a copy of The Best Of Muddy Waters lying on the floor - and track one was Rollin' Stone Blues. Jones died on July 3rd 1969, after drowning in his swimming pool.

A birthday also for British drummer, songwriter and singer Phil Gould from Level 42, who had the 1986 UK No.3 & US No.12 single 'Lessons In Love' & 19 other UK Top 40 hits. Also in Level 42 is Mark King, who (imo) is one of the best bass players around....

A lot of anecdotal stuff written about the original “Evil Ways”.


Even last night, on a music/arts show on Foxtel, it was deemed that it was Billy Graham (of the Filmore’s) who put a young Carlos onto this very song to show him musical structure (edit: the rhythm section that is). Who knows.


However, Sonny Henry wrote the song in gaol, a young black boy, 15 years old, imprisoned in 1947 in New York City, for second degree manslaughter, and writes (after ten years in a jail cell) You've Got to Change Your Evil Ways, Baby.

Sonny was then playing with Willie Bobo and they first recorded the song with Bobo’s band.
