Tito Jackson
I woke up this morning to a text message I received overnight from my daughter. Once again, she delivered the sad news of another artist we all grew up with passing away.

Did You Miss Me?
I can’t believe it’s been a year. One whole year that I took off from music, podcasts, articles, and most creative activities! What did I do, you ask?

When I made a decision to become a bass player in the spring of 1976. I had one big problem, actually two. The first was, I didn’t have a bass guitar! The second was. My mom and dad did not want to buy me a bass, so I took my case to a higher court!

I want to share what I discovered with you. Maybe, you will feel the same as I do!
Easy Vs. Zoom
Over the decades. I found myself debating with different people, musicians, and regular folks as to which song has stood the test of time, Easy, or Zoom? The most recent debate was with my wife Maggie, she feels it’s Easy, I say Zoom.
Checking in with you
How’s your summer? Are you having fun? Are you staying cool? Are keeping yourself hydrated? Are you remaining safe from that “thing” going around out there? Most of all, are you listening to music and letting it thrill your soul?
I pray all of your answers are yes?
