We’ve Lost Another One…..
Yesterday, June 27, Bobby Womack died at the age of 70….. Â I know a lot of you probably don’t know who he was, but, if you know anything at all about R & B and R & R, you should…… Â With his wife Shirley (at the time), he wrote one of my all-time favorite Stone’s cover songs – “It’s All Over Now” – and, unfortunately, Â for Bobby Womack – It Is.….. Â Sorry if that sounds cold, but, we’ve been losing great musicians and artists from the greatest period of original music ever produced – ’50’s thru ’70’s – at such a startling rate that you just start accepting it and “Keep on Truckin’ “ ’cause if you think of it too much, you’ll crash and burn….. Â Yeah, there’s still good music being made these days, but, NOTÂ in the quantity and quality of that golden period….. Â And, yeah, I’m prejudiced, of course, because I grew up right in the middle of all this and I still enjoy playing and recording…..

On our as of yet to be released CD, I slipped some hip hop samples in on a couple of tracks. Haha

The Founding Fathers of Rock and Roll are passing away faster than new artists are coming along that can adequately fill their shoes.
