JSIS-- Just Some Interesting Stuff
1. BROOKS & DUNN-- Chicago Tribune August 5th "Dynamic duo" by Courtney Crowder.
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn started in 1990 and are now, 20 years later, on their farewell tour.
BY THE NUMBERS:
23-- No. 1 hits
5-- Greatest Hits albums
14-- Number of Country Music Association awards for vocal duo of the year. Every year 1992-2006, except 2000.
2-- Grammy's for best country performance for duo or group.
Not a bad score. One of my favorite country bands. We'll miss 'em.
2. STEVE GOODMAN-- August 5th Chicago Tribune-- Post office in Chicago has been renamed to honor this most Chicago of Chicagoans, Steve Goodman. President Obama just signed the bill to make it official.
Steve Goodman died in 1984 at age of 36 after a long battle with leukemia and had written such songs as "City of New Orleans" and local favorites "Lincoln Park Pirates," "Go, Cubs, Go," and "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Lament." His ashes were spread on his beloved Wrigley Field.
Back in March, Illinois US Representative Mike Quigley introduced the bill.
An honor well-deserved. Thanks Rep. Quigley.
Now, You Know. --RoadDog
DIDJA HEAR? He often broke into song because he couldn't find the key.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
