Video Find(s) of the Day
I think Louis Jordan is just inside my Father's dividing line between Music and the Junk Kids Play, on the Music side of it. After Louis Jordan came Shake, Rattle, and Roll, and nobody was trying to make music anymore, they just wanted to jump around, Dad said.
It's nice to revisit these old mile-posts.
The first -- The Green Grass Grew All Around -- is just... different.
The next two definitely inch toward Rock.

About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
