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.

Music Deaths: Edwin Hawkins
EDWIN HAWKINS, 74
Died January 15, 2018
Leader of the Gospel group Edwin Hawkins Singers, They had a huge hit with "Oh Happy Day" (#4-1969). They also backed Melanie on "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" (#6-1970)
The last song always reminds me of the Kent State riots at Northern Illinois University in May 1970.
