On this day in 1918 an armistice came into effect between allies and central powers to end WW1


Good morning everybody.
Had a few days of rain here, and a few more to go before any dry days are forecast.


I was entertained by all the blue Tsunami excitement this week. What do you think is the outcome of the election? Do you think the Epstein files will finally be released? I don't. Many analysts are suggesting less emphasis on the Iran war and more money and weapons provided to Ukraine to fight the Russians. After all it was the Dems who engineered the Ukraine grift and profited handsomely, whereas the Iran catastrophe has profited the Trumps, Kushners, and Whitcoffs. I find it difficult to believe either war will be ended. As Larry Wilkerson said the other week, the MIC lobby is every bit as powerful as AIPAC. I will admit to voting straight Dem here in Alabama, and being Alabama, none I could vote for were elected. The state will still have two Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling led to a special legislative session and an exceedingly rare special primary election.

Let's look at some news from the week below the fold...
Afternoon folks!
This week we've got a pile of great stuff starting out with an album from Guitar Jr., which I'm pretty sure is an early Lonnie Brooks album as, well, it sounds like him and he used to go by that stage name early in his career. Following that we've got a great album from Texas guitarist Frankie Lee Sims who was one of those blues guitarists that also influenced the development of early rock and roll. After that we've got a 60's folk revival era album from Sleepy John Estes followed by an album from soul singer/guitarist Curtis Mayfield. Moving on into some blues rock we've got a 1968 album from the Buddy Miles Express during the period that Miles was also playing with Jimi Hendrix. We finish up with some interesting 80's rock from an Australian group, Midnight Oil. So, there you go.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
