The Evening Blues - 2-11-25

All hell is breaking loose in DC. Trump and his cadre of billionaire ghouls are creating havoc in the halls of power, sometimes called the swamp, blob, deep state, or shadow government.
Whole agencies are being exposed as corrupt tax wasting parasites on the rump of America, where they cannot be seen but painfully felt.


Is the defunding of USAID good? Was the behavior of the dem-wits bad in the RFK, Tulsi, Kash hearings? Is the Trump plan for the Gaza Riviera resort and casino ugly? These and many other questions below the fold...featuring a variety of characters...

Afternoon folks!
Ready? Here we go. Starting out we've got a compilation of Rufus Thomas' r&b hits, followed by albums from Jimmy Rushing and Mose Allison in the jazz/blues vein. After that there's an album of Chicago blues from the Siegel-Schwall Band. Moving on to the musical diversity section there's a double album from a band that I've been seeing at festivals and a couple of nearby gigs that features an incredible younger guitarist and band with strong hints of the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead in their playing, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country - it's worth a listen. Finishing up we've got some serious bluegrass from Peter Rowan.
Just as a reminder, if youtube is still screwed up and the full album embed only plays the first song, click the "on youtube" link to listen to the full album.

Good morning, good people!
Hope everyone is in fine fettle and handling the current events in some positive way.


I'm going to let my mind run wild here, because I grew up in the 60s and that's what we did back then.
Does anyone one else feel like we've entered the final stages of the Great Reset? Hasn't the so called Deep State rolled over a little too easily? Why are they standing by while the current government is dismantled? It's like the government is being pared down for a reason other than what we've been told.
I'm not a Republican, nor am I a Democrat, although I used to be. I'm not a centrist either, so I guess the best descriptor would be that I'm a political nomad.
Screw them all and the horses they rode in on. I'm not going to be a cheerleader for either side. I'm going to call out bullshit when I see it though.
I do admit that I like some stuff the new administration is doing, but I'm still going to call out the bullshit when it pops up.
