I think I will continue to publish this post later in the day. That way I will be able to include all the items from Fridays instead of adding them continuously throughout the day. Folks who read this early in the morning won't miss the material I post later in the day.
Nice rationalization for being late, eh?
Actually, I got back late from the great AWRA conference in Jacksonville (1 AM this morning) and was dragging all
day. Plus I had an earworm from all the British bubblegum music I've been listening to. Don't ask.
The photo is of Tony Burrows, legendary session vocalist for a number of such UK bands.
Enjoy!
