Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

We lose artist all the time, like the rest of us everyone of them will go. But it troubles the soul to see them go young in the mist of their living and creating.

In 1986 we suffered such a loss. Though a true artist that wasn't what we came to know him for.
Ronald McNair was a physicist. But he took his music everywhere he went.

"In the summer of 1959 at age 9 he refused to leave the segregated "Lake city Public Library" in South Carolina without being allowed to check out his books. Yes Ron was black. After The police and his mom were called, He was allowed to borrow books from the library which now bears his name.

Ron was a 6th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

On Jan.28 1986 he took his saxophone to the stars. He had with him a composition he had written with the composer Jean-Michel Jarre.

First Ron would play and record the piece so high above this world

Then download it to Jarre who would then incorporate it into Jarre's concert in Houston.

But Challenger exploded and his ashes scattered nine miles above the Atlantic Ocean.

This is Ron's piece. This is his collaborator, playing the music he wrote with Ron.

Which browser do you use George?

'He's a one trick pony
but he turns that trick with pride"
Paul Simon

Who would have thought that this song would play thew our decades?

I take comfort in knowing that the songs creator is still unsure of what it means ,

All my best stuff is like that.LOL

My favorite version of a favorite song, come on! get you feet wet!

Just goes to show that you never can tell

This one starts at 1255 But Damn! let it play though after that!

You mat wish to try Thunder bird. You can get one tuned to Mint by going into Software Manger.

my bad
I use both Firefox and Thunderbird you want firefox..

A good group, did lots of nice thihgs

Music does not get any simpler than this...Playing that music is all together another thing.
Many say he was the best that ever was.
MR Bow Jangles, AKa Bill Robertson...he danced close to my heart.



What you see is pure ad lib, he would just make it up as he went along. Is why he almost never rehearse anything. But here's the thing. When he danced with sherily Temple they did not rehearse, the little moppet just followed along, even improvising her self when she took the lead.

if your in ther mood for rythum...!



An added treat. Cab Callowway plays the Music for #1

For me all of these cats are amazing. But I don't know enough to choose between them. Gregory Hines will always be a favorite . Jean Kelly later puts on weight and looks like a Boxer and dances like a there's no tomorrow. I had never seem NO# 1 before,but I can't quibble with their placement they have rubber legs!

My favorite by Judy. Words and Music by Lenard Cohen.

"There are children in the morning
And they are leaning out for love
and they will lean that way forever."

I just realized that 5 of the top ten sing...Opera!
Given the fact the the audience is comprised of average Americans...I find this to be remarkable! And to be honest, quite enjoyable.

Hell all I sang as a kid was "It's Howdy Duddy time.":O}
