"A Change Is Gonna Come" was released 50 years ago this week. Though a singularly beautiful song, releasing it was a dangerous career move at the time; something which is thankfully strange for us to think about nowadays (pretty cool write-up here). I would have loved to have found a performance of that song, unfortunately it was performed live only once, and Mr. Cooke was killed shortly after. In it's a place, here's a song that old Robbie Zimmerman wrote which Sam immediately picked up on.

After being forced to listen to this song hundreds of times, I should probably hate it. However, I still sing along whenever I hear this silly little ditty.

I didn't watch the Grammys (nor did I have any intention to), and afterwards, the only thing I heard about that sounded interesting was this. Here it is, including the controversial early hook which left certain participants, err, unhappy.

Not sure how much longer this will stay up, so soak it in while you can.
If I had one and was proficient at it, I would break out my bass clarinet every chance I got.

I'm out in the suburbs, and with all the recent snowfalls, I've noticed that no one is shoveling the sidewalk in front of their house. Just their driveway and path to their front door. So, that means I'm cool to ignore it, right?
Sunday is a very funky day.

This is a high-octane jam, you guys.
Finally went out and picked up their second.
