Posting now - more than ever.


I put this review on Amazon for a friend's band called Blame Sally. The title is a play on the song title Put the Blame on Mame, from the film noir classic Gilda.

Put the Blame on Sally, July 31, 2007
By Richard (SF) -
Blame Sally has been a band I've listened to for a while. The songwriting and the fun of their live shows drew me in. Great vocal harmony, lush music accompaniment is their signature. In Severland (2007) they deliver a rich collection of work that introduces you to the whole ensemble. Like the Beatles' Revolver or The Eagles' One Of These Nights, Severland is many different voices and stories coming together in one album that you can play over and over. Plenty of good songs to sing along with, in particular Fillmore Street, Moth to A Flame & Trouble. These songs get me hopping. If you get a chance to see them in concert, it's a good bet. Don't thank me just Blame Sally (D'oh!).


(I appreciate Amazon as a portal for information and purchasing things online; but also encourage you to shop at your local record shop, if you still have one.)

Here is a video of a song from the album,"If You Tell A Lie".

Two moments in time

Today of course is Hiroshima Day. [Hiroshima Peace Park ]

The day in 1945 the US dropped a bomb called "fat boy" on the sleeping people of Hiroshima in an effort to make peace. (A clue to the ways of peace in America)

Anyway as I contemplated the date - 8/6/7 - a very somber occasion, this silly thing occurred to me.

[Here we go again with the crazy date numbers.]

Next month on my (grandmother's birthday) at some point it will be -

9/8/7 6:54:32:10, twice of course।
