After a long and eventful life, the spark plug of Rock and Roll has passed at 90 years old. Perhaps his greatest contribution was his cross over to Rock and Roll. While most of the south was still in the throes of segregation, Chuck stole the musical heart of a whole generation of white kids.

I know that many have been anxiously awaiting the next version of the Bobby Tony Dictionary series. Well here is another installment. Most people would start at the front of the alphabet. A and work towards Z, but since I'm dyslexic I'm going the other way

It is common for conservatives to use the term 'Fly-Over-Country' to describe that base of support that cannot really be identified with any specific beliefs but seem to all reside somewhere between the two left coasts of New York and California.

I am required to Tag these articles as "HUMOR" because I have been told that not everyone gets my sense of humor. I used to use the clown face but it drastically reduced views because my 15 minutes elapsed long ago.

Occasionally you hear about the passing of a musician you never heard of. One of the most remarkable things about the music business is that some of the most talented people are never front stage. Many are either session layers or band members who just provide the foundation for the star to shine.

Social media is more than a forum to espouse your political views or post your latest selfie. It is a business where you are the product. You may think that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Google+ are trying to give you a forum for expression, but they are really using you to make money.

If you are like me, you may be trying to figure out what the new POTUS is trying to do. Beyond his over the top pronouncements there is an underlying principle that may help explain his goals.

I do not know how most people mark the passage of time in their lives. I suspect that like me they do it with memories, birthdays and anniversaries. Nevertheless, there are some reminders for us pack racks that crop up from time to time.

I did not serve with Lt. General Harold Moore but I benefited from his trail blazing techniques in the use of helicopter warfare. May have possible seen the movie about the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14-15, 1965 at LZ X-Ray in South Vietnam.

It has been said that you need to have lived the blues to sing the blues. I am not sure I agree with that but when it comes to Jazz, I do think you have to live it to play and sing it. Al Jarreau did just that.

I have done no research on this subject yet, because I wanted to get my ideas down in print before checking other more authoritative sources. By authoritative sources, I mean Liberal viewpoints. I did however, Google the title just to be sure I am not the only one who wonders

Most of the news media is obsessing over the Tweets and Sean Spicer, the White House press Secretary's assertion that more people saw the Inauguration than ever before. The argument is a tempest in a teapot based on pictures and ad hoc observations vs Spicer's assertion using numbers of online view

I received this card in recently asking for an update on one of my old cars. I never responded but was surprised that they would still have me in the files since 1974 when I bought the car.

Would trust this man with your wife? Do not answer that question, but there is one musician that trust this man with something way more important than his wife. Meet Willie Nelson's go to man when his famous guitar needs a rework.
