It's Week 2 of For The Birds, and that may describe how you are feeling with this staying indoors necessity.

I am here in New York City, and even though I went out 3 or 4 times I still have Cabin Fever.

But as I said nothing stops Spring, and hopefully nothing will stop us from this Playful Diversion!

The Birds do provide a familiar…

It is a STRANGE time outdoors, hope you all are well.

But nothing stops Spring outdoors, nothing will ever stop the Birds and I am honoring them with this Series!

Their nice familiar Singing is comforting, even Your Bird Can do it!

The Bluebird is the Centerpiece of this Chapter, one of the prettiest Birds, and very popular with…

Well the Snow Is Gone and Spring Has Sprung!

Wait...what Snow, lol?

What a disappointing Winter, I LOVE Snow!

A still valid indicator of Spring is When The Cliff Swallows Come Back To Mission San Juan Capistrano California, shortened thankfully in a Song Title.

And that's how I will begin this…

It's St. Patrick's Day, and no Parade this year!

It is also my Irish friend Dave Kenny's Birthday.

Continuing with my Roots Music, songs I used to get loaded to, hammered, but NO more.

It's been many years since I quit drinking, and I don't miss it a bit.

And…

Here’s how I selected the Songs- they have a memory for me, they were close by, they should be played somewhere, and I LIKE…

Here’s how I selected the Songs- they have a memory for me, they were close by, they should be played somewhere, and I LIKE them.

And on this particular day, this was where my head was at!

Simple as…

I’ll open this last half of our Road Trip to New Orleans with a short musical History Lesson about events over two hundred years ago!

I’ll have a guy who was a child prodigy, writing his first song at age 8.

The funniest song here is by another guy who could sing like a girl…and a frog- earning himself a nickname in the process, lol!

For…

We were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, so I thought we might go back for their Definitive Sound.

Rock & Roll, from its earliest days, most assuredly owes a debt to the artists who came out of that relatively small city.

And it was very difficult making the selections for this show- so much Music I had to choose from, so many folks I had to leave out.…
