I woke up early this morning at 3:00 AM as usual. I normally have a news show TV on for background to catch up on recent events. One news story after the other was bad news.

Both Stan and I missed the opportunity to post on the passing of Tom Petty. We each thought the other would offer a better commentary.

When I orignially posted the article on the passing of Fats Domino, I had hopes that it would generate some comments from Alex J. Ortolano who was raised in New Orleans. I doubt that anyone not born and raised in New Orleans could capture the musical magic that was that city.

I can't remember far enough back when Fats Domino's music was not part of my musical landscape. Granted I was only 10 years old when Fats released his first album in 1955.

I just heard on the flashing image and sound contraption in my living room that President Trump has authorized the release of the John F. Kennedy assignation files. This is a major news development. I immediately opened my Iphone and went to Twitter which I use to confirm all facts these days.

I am somewhat sensitive to the "a soldier" reference in most of the news articles. The result is now that we are embroiled in a donnybrook over the death of someone who is now being referred to in almost every account as "a soldier."

If you will bear with me, I will try to bring this post to a point. Memory triggers of past events are often disturbing, but they don't always have to be regardless of what the Google says.

Many of the comments in this series are nothing more than random thoughts on various issues that I have still to clarify in my mind. I usually use the written form to set out my thoughts and then try to debunk or reinforce my beliefs (biases) with some research.

Some entertainers storm the stage with a burst of fame and then fade away with the ever-changing taste of musical whim. Others have a long and varied career by adapting to the changing times. Still others just stick it out and keep doing what they do best. He became knows as the "Gentle Giant" of

On this day in 1969 I sat at my parent's house watching television. The country was in the midst of a tumultuous war, there was unrest in the street, and racial tensions were high.
