Vibes, Hope & Grateful Nods

[edger]

Just thought it might be worth channeling some energy towards the musicians who inspire us who are fighting for their recovery or who have lost that battle.  

Recognition, acknowledgement, whatever seems fit I suppose.  I hope the extent of the impact somehow remains minimal....

 

RIP Ellis Marsalis, New Orleans Jazz Piano Legend, (father of Branford and Wynton)

Love and light to John Prine....I hope that they are able to keep him in stable condition on a respirator long enough for his body to rest as much as possible with the hopes that his immune system will pull through.  I'm no medical doctor....but I do know from personal experience that "stable" is still very touch and go territory.  Wishing John and his family strength and grit....

RIP Adam Schlesinger....I do not resonate as personally with Adam, but I do know he was far too young, and from what I can tell had no underlying conditions....

Without federal aid more than a 1000 US music venues are in danger of closing 😕.

RIP Toots 💓

This one is hitting me today. The end of an era. The old guard of roots reggae is moving on....i hope that can only amount to a release of positive energy to be taken up in this world as it's needed. 

 

I want you to know that I am the man
Who fight for the right, not for the wrong
Going there, I'm growing there
Helping the weak against the strong

Soon you will find out the man
I'm supposed to be

This vid was a nice way to start the morning....an anchor in the chaos lol.  I hope he is resting peacefully. Gone too soon....seems he may have dropped while making coffee...I suppose that's not a bad way to go at all.

Swifty!!! Good to see you around these parts...stick around!

Also sending vibes, hope & a nod to the venues that keep trying to get back up despite what the government keeps throwing at them through inequitably targeting them in comparison to other industries

"These Selfish Putzes" sounds like a band Velvet would have been in circa 1993.
