I have neglected my little blog for a while now. It looks like I only posted seven times in 2020. It's not like I had anything else going on.
Seriously, this was not intentional. I have several things I really want to delve into and hope to get them up soon.
However, I did want to mention how cool it is that Bruce Springsteen has his own radio show, From His House To Yours on Sirius XM. I have been a fan of Springsteen's since before he was the Boss, and I have known since the first time I saw the E Street Band live that he has excellent taste in covers. So I was thrilled to find out that last November, he played Jeffrey Foskett's version of "Cool and Gone," written by my compadres Bill Lloyd and David Surface (originally recorded by Bill on his Standing on the Shoulders of Giants album).
Then on March 11, 2021, Bruce opened the show with the great Bobby Sutliff and his song "Kings of Flannel" followed a little later by Bobby and Tim Lee's band The Windbreakers doing "Girl from Washington," a song I've had stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. This was followed a little later by Webb Wilder and his recording "Battle of the Bands".
How cool is that? I count all of these guys as clients and friends, and there is something really significant about their music getting acknowledgement from the Boss. These are all great songs and great artists. Check them out.
