Alex Skolnik

Hey everybody, how ya doin?

I hope all is well out there in the real live world. I'm still in Netsville, browsin' around with my nose in every musicians business. I happen to know the music business quite well. I managed to make off with a hefty amount of money before my time was done. Which was rare to do back in my day, especially if you was colored.

 But I aint here to discuss that with y'all right now. I'm talkin' about a guitar player I found at Mp34U.com. It's a great sight for browsin'. It's easy, too. And that's a plus if you are old or young. Anyway, I found this young gentleman by the name of Alex Skolnik. His name stood out more than anybody that I saw on the page, so I decided to hit play. Mp34U has a play button that even a blind man can see. And when I heard his song. "Western Sabbath Stomp" I couldn't help but nod my head and, literally stomp to the beat. Now, ANY song that gets you to do that is a good song. But when they tell you ahead of time AND give you what you want....it makes you wanna hear it again and again. It appears that this Alex Skolnik has quite a history, too. I aint got time to google his name and go wiki-fishin', but if you do, then by all means...go ahead. I will give you a direct link to this song, though.

Have a nice time while you aint sleepin, is what I say.

If I was a news cast anchor man...

Hey y'all...how ya doin out there in the real world? 

Is it safe out there? I can't see shit, so ya have to say somethin' to me.

 All I know is that every time I hear something good about the world, three or four bad things happen right after! Like when I had heard about Obama running for president. Then right after somebody told me that Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes and George Carlin died. I was, like, THANKS ALOT...why did you even bother to tell me about the good news in the first place?!  Damn...tell me the good news last! 

If I was a news cast anchor man I would try to be a little more thoughtful about what I say to complete strangers.

Like this : Good Evening to all...I am anchor man Blind Lemon Jefferson with our top story. 

A 22 year old man was shot and killed in Oakland, California. Victim was pronounced dead at Highland Hospital. May his soul rest in peace. Please think about this as something to prevent in our near and distant future...we are not just trying to make some ratings for advertisement...

And now sports...The Oakland A's beat the Mariners 5-3...more film at 11...Go A's! The last hope for Oakland residents, I am sure...

And here is our financial report...

Whoops...it's been misplaced...I think I left it with my meril lynch account book...we'll be right back with more news and wishful thinking...

B.B. King's belated Birthday

Just wanna say HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY B.B. King!!

Alrighty then...
C y' all soon...

A good man WAS hard to find...

Hey Y'all, how you doin today?

I heard that Oprah Winfrey is not having any political discussions, talks or debates on her show

until AFTER the election. I thought, now that is the smartest thing I've heard her say...ever!

Folks is startin' to raise a fuss about Oprah's refusal to interview Palin-face. What is the fuss? If I had a talk show that had a majority woman audience, the last damn thing I would do is bring dog lips onto it! Precisely and specifically for the simple reason that I am voting for Obama. But Oprah is a woman, herself and is way smarter than I, or any man could be and has made the right decision in a world gone mad. No candidates on her show until the election is over and DONE.

I hear women tell me that a good man is hard to find. That might be true. That is, until Obama stepped into the room. 

Here is a song by the great Bessie Smith saying the same thing. I bet if Bessie was alive today she wouldn't be singin' so well...Obama is tipping the scales on that particular opinion!

Y'all have a gooood old day, now...

Help me out...no Palin-Face please...gObama!

Hey everybody...I'm here to say a few things about some OBVIOUS choices y'all need to make this fall.
If ya don't then you all can kiss your selves in the back side and say good bye. All you have to do is listen to Obama try to help you people out. HE is trying to HELP Y'ALL!

It's pretty simple. In fact I found somebody who even has a little diddy written already called "help me out"


-play song-




And after you listen to Del Tha Funky Homosapien ...go
ahead and try them links out about Miss Palin-face.
You might understand what we are trying to say. I would add that if you have the time, go out and buy an old pocket watch. Dangle it in front of some body who's votin' for Moose-Butt-Palin-Face. Let the watch swing back and forth for a good five minutes until they are in a trance, or somethin'...then say with a confident whisper, " Palin is gonna doom us all, vote for Obama and save some children's lives." Do you understand what I am sayin here, my good people?! It's your world...I'm just bloggin' in it...


The truth about Sarah Palin?

Old Time Country Music

Hello everybody and how y'all doin' today?
I hope you all are doing just fine.
I would like to take some time to say a few more things about Palin, but I think I will wait.
Because I see somebody new on the scene. His name?
Wesley Rose. He pioneer'd country music. And country music got popular first in America. Probably because every other style was still enslaved. Even so, the history behind it is a little older than the blues. Personally, I think country music is fine. As long as it does what all music is supposed to do. And that, to me, is called 'making people happy. '
Unlike Palin-face. She is out to make folks sad and angry and upset.
However, the country music might as well be for everybody...if you can get into the sound, that is.
Now I don't have that much to say about it, but Mr. Weseley Rose does.
He'll tell you all about it. And I suggest getting into some country music for a minute before McCan't and Palin-face try to ruin its backround with some sour ass politics.
Here is a link to Mr. Wesley Rose, the man behind American Country Music and the business that makes it work.

What you mean "we" Palin face?

Hey y'all...got some things to get off my chest. 

In response to that...whatever she calls herself runnin' for vice president...

SO...Ms. Sarah Palin?

You're sayin' that you're a bitch? Is that what you tryin' to say? No use beatin' round the Bush about it now. Does that imply that doggy style is the way of the republican? Is that what all them men were tryin' to say, too? Seems that doggy style works for both genders in the republican world. But that aint all, really. Because anybody that calls themselves a dog with lipstick AND a hockey mom is...well...it's what some of us would refer to as a cold hearted bitch with big crooked stick! I aint even started yet, see...this is all hear say. don't forget that I'm blind. My seeing eye dog Dioji finds all my pics in which I promptly post. Because I trust him. It's his suggestion that I posted the picture that's up in your face today. Dioji sayed that he googled Sarah Palin and got that image. Wish I could see it. But anyway... do you know that she got on international television and  referred to her own self as a pitbull with lipstick. I didn't notice lipstick on the lips that were talkin...what kind of sick and twisted bitch is this? I thought this was America?

Dayamn...

(sigh)

 I heard her talkin' more smack about Obama's 'change' ethics. Now Obama can't say what I can say because he cares about y'all. Me? I aint even alive or real, so I can just let it rip, ya know what I'm sayin? My opinion is of the pixel persuasion and it can be altered and generated in any format you can come up with. Which means I can just respond. And my response to what Palin-face is saying, essentially, is that America needs to stay the same way it's been trying to be for the last 232 years. Which means a rigid, caucasian majority ruled society, built on fear and control. A country that included slavery and the genocide of it's indigenous people as part of our national unity. Palin-face a.ka. cold-hearted-bitch-with-a big-crooked-stick seems to be  making these implications by having the same attitude that accepted genocide and slavery. 

 She probably hates Mexican people, too, that cold hearted snake. I mean dog. She paints her self as an evangelical christian of pure ethics and chooses abstinence and scripture as a means to educate her pregnant, 17 year old, unwed daughter. I don't think America is the same America that it was. Maybe in the 50's she'd a been radical. Or a radish. Or a turnip. But I think she'd last 4 weeks before God himself stepped in and removed her from office. If' the good folks don't prevent her from gettin' there in the first place. 

 Now don't let her distract you like some wand wielding Slithereen shoplifting at Diagon Alley. (Yeah I read Harry Potter, bitch!) The real news is that Obama is gonna be the next prez.

Anyway, I should get back to the muzic. Muzic is a better response in utter hind sight of these recent events...

Here is a song that I want you to hear right about now...dedicated to her ethics and style

Happy Birthday Freddie King!

Freddie Christian King. b. Sept 3rd 1934
Do you know who he is?
I do.
He wrote that Blues standard that EVERYBODY and their mama knows called " Hideaway "
I know you heard it, but just can't recall it in your mind like some of us can. It aint got no words. But the melody is timeless and unforgettable. Stevie Ray Vaughan's played it. Eric Clapton's done it. If I was alive I'd probably be playin' it right now!

Freddie "The Texas Cannonball" King has earned himself a place in the world of Blues among the best with these tasty blues riffs. If you got any time at all in this rat race world, I suggest you take a moment and listen to this man play.

Especially if you are a guitarist, like myself.
So Happy birthday Freddie!

Hmmm...I think I know where he hangs out, too. I heard he's on the South side of Netsville still playin the blues somethin' fierce! I think I'll take a web cab and go try and sit in on a jam session with the brothah...

Y'all take it easy now, ya hear?

Here is the Birthday boy playin' Hideaway :


And here is Stevie Ray's version
