new direction

After a year of failure to keep up this blog, I'm going to do something new with it- put songs that I want to keep on it. This will take a while and be an ongoing project. I will try to keep you posted on the band at the right (this has been sporadic). Will bring pix too...

Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee- do right, baby
randy newman- god's song
