Album of the Week 1-20-24

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/20/2024 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

Well, here comes another bunch of great tunes. Starting off we've got Koko Taylor's first album for the Chess label produced by Willie Dixon, following that there's a 70's album from Texan Phillip Walker. There's a bunch of great blues-rock this week with albums from The Blues Magoos, The J. Geils Band, Roy Buchanan and Brownsville Station. In the diversity department, there's a Taj Mahal album which incorporates some of his Hawaiian and calypso leanings followed by a Jim Kweskin album in an early jazz vein and we finish off with an excellent album by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia.

Have a great weekend and enjoy!

Friday Night Photos More Birds Edition

Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 01/19/2024 - 5:00pm

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, meme's or music you like.

Unlike most of the rest of the country, San Diego has been warm and dry this week. Temps hit the mid 70s on Tue and yesterday. But the good times don't last forever. There is rain in the forecast for this weekend and early next week. Oh well. At least the price of gas dropped another 15¢ a gal in the last week. Now it only costs you an arm instead of an arm and a leg when you fill up the car.
Stay warm and dry and have a great weekend.

How do we help?

Eric Johnson has been a local Seattle reporter for a long time. A few days ago, he published a story about a young woman named Lexi. The story is called: called 'Who killed Lexi Evanson? A woman's life lost too soon to Seattle's drug crisis'.

Johnson had known Lexi for all her short, 35 year old life. She was part of his extended family, danced at his wedding when she was a cute little girl. She had a pretty tough life and became addicted to heroin. She had two loves in her life since then - her dog, Lucy (which was stolen from her) and heroin (she switched to fentanyl after a while because it's cheaper). She died of acute meningitis which she got from an ear infection which spread to her brain. She was found dead, upside down with her head near the brake pedal of a stolen car in December.
