The day before making this vlog I downloaded the song ‘Walking to New Orleans’ by Fats Domino. Cause even though I wasn’t walking I love the song and it seemed appropriate. Just heard the news that he died at the age of 89 in the […]
Watch your volume when you start this vlog! Let’s stay together was a song by Al Green that I’ve heard many times at home when I was younger. Just like ‘Tired of Being Alone’ it was part of my youth. Nowadays you have a chance […]
B.B. King, Ike Turner, Howlin’ Wolf and Elvis all started out with Sam Phillips. A creative, authentic guy with a good heart and love for music. He made no difference between black or white and made a big difference in the music industry by starting […]
