    Very cool! Lyle has always supported our department and has done several very small venue concerts benefiting my boss's campaign fund over the years. That's how I initially came to know him. Pictures from the 2015 Concert

    And now, for a complete change of pace!

    I heard a song a couple of days ago that I liked so much on first hearing that I had to find it. I had no idea who the singer was and I was surprised when I found out upon googling part of the lyrics "I can buy myself flowers". It turned out to be Miley Cyrus, an artist who I have never listened to. I don't care for her lifestyle or her other music, but this song, I think is really good.

    this young lady who is currently 17 astounds me with her vocals. her placement and timing are that of a much older soul. besides the link i am posting, she does an outstanding cover of etta james i do not know how old she was for this recording. here is a cover of the adele song "all i ask". hope you enjoy

    I think her voice defines the sound of purity

    John Denver was high up on my list of musicians in 1997 when he did the ultimate dumb thing----and stuffed himself into the Monterey Bay.

    I still vacillate between anger and compassion toward him

    This just came on my player---we have "history".

    In her early days I wanted to love her but could not ignore her politics. By the time this song (Diamonds and Rust) came out in 1975 I had been converted into the peace movement and her politics were no longer a barrier
