HELLO COMRADES:
I REALLY LIKED THE JOURNAL ENTRY TANITA WROTE FOR HER WEBSITE BECAUSE SHE TALKED ABOUT A CONCERT THAT HELD SOME NEW MUSICAL INFLUENCES. OVER THE YEARS SHE HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS ABOUT SHARING HER FAVOURITE ARTISTS AND SONGS & I FELT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE NEW TOPIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF MUSIC BY MAVIS STAPLES, BONNIE BRAMLETT AND ALSO WAS ABLE TO CHECK OUT TONY JOE WHITE'S VERSION OF RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA. I THINK ALL THREE OF THEM ARE VERY TRUE ARTISTS WITH MUCH MUSICAL INTEGRITY. WE HAVE LOST SO MUCH OF THAT THESE DAYS AND IT IS SAD. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT TANITA HAS OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME TO LEARN ABOUT MANY MUSICAL ARTISTS AND I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE QUITE A FEW. IN RETURN, I PERIODICALLY SEND HER CDs OF PEOPLE WHO ROCK MY WORLD.
I ALSO GOT AHOLD OF THE BEN KWELLER SONG SHE SPOKE OF ON HIS ALBUM "SHA SHA." IT IS EXCELLENT AND I HEAR A JACKSON BROWNE PIANO INFLUENCE. HE IS VERY CREATIVE. THANKS FOR READING AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IF YOU HAVE CHECKED OUT THESE ARTISTS AND YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM. -P-
