This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.

Rock and Roll pioneer, musical icon, the Innovator, the Originator, the Architect of Rock and Roll all describe one performer Little Richard. Sadly the flamboyant performer has passed away at the age of 87. We pay tribute the musical legend on my blog. He earned a lot of honors while he was alive Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, Blues Hall of Fame, and several lifetime achievement. He influence The Beatles, Elvis, and so many more.
Supposedly the first performance of "Tutti Frutti"
Followed up by "Long Tall Sally"
The icon had a bunch of unforgettable hits!
"Good Golly Miss Molly!"
His legacy is unique. He left his footprint in the music of the greats he influenced. He left a catalog of how rock and roll was created behind with his songs.
In my last Battle of the Bands of 2019 I went with a vintage cartoon theme. Featured a vintage tune from Bo Diddley performed by a couple of vintage bands. Everything becomes vintage as time ticks away. Soon 2019 will be vintage!
A bit of a cartoon for my December themes...
Bo got one, The Pretty Things got two votes, and the winner was the Rolling Stones with three.
The Rolling Stones "Baby What's Wrong"
"Roll Over Beethoven"
and for my retro mood "That Girl Belongs to Yesterday"
