Critics. . .

. . . they're everywhere.  Possibly even in your chair right now.

That's right.  I would like you to be a critic.  Simply visit http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/rayjozwiak3, listen to the samples, (hopefully buy the album), then login to CD Baby.com and write your own review.  And you can write anything you want!  Tell everyone you love it, hate, find it distasteful, were offended, were bored, danced all night after listening, would never listen to it with a Savignon Blanc.  .  . WHATEVER YOU WANT!   Because, simply because, I would love to hear from you.

Rational. . .

. . . debate?. . .

(from Michael O'Brien, Political Reporter, NBC News)
**". . .The National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre railed Friday against "elites," whom he accused of harboring a secret agenda of creating a registry of gun owners across the country. . .

**. . .He ridiculed proponents of stricter gun controls, and won repeated cheers from the conservative activists in the audience for his defense of Second Amendment rights And LaPierre used his speech to slam a proposal before Congress to require background checks for all firearms transactions, a law that has won some new support in the wake of the deadly December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.. . .

**. . . LaPierre said the background checks would set the stage for universal gun registration. . .

**. . ."It's the real goal they've been pushing for decades," he said. . .

**. . . And he stoked fears that universal background checks would lead to newspapers publishing the names and addresses of gun owners, so that "gangs and criminals" or the Mexican and Chinese governments could access them. . . "

Words sometimes fail. . .

. . . to describe what music can express. . .

There may be several more, but this song by Frank Zappa (and LAURA by Eric Dolphy from the Live in Europe Sessions) are two songs that absolutely MOVE ME! I can't describe how or why. They just DO! And I don't NEED to describe how or why, or try to convince ANYBODY else that they should move them, because that's NOT what it's all about. What it's about it is, enjoying WHAT MOVES YOU!

(But give it a listen anyway. It's quite wonderful.)

Easy What!!???. . .

. . . One time, I went into a record store (do they exist anymore?) looking for the latest release by kd Lang. Problem was, I couldn't find it. I couldn't find it under country, jazz, soul, vocal, folk and when I finally did ask for assistance from an employee of the store, they said, "kd Lang, that would be under 'EASY LISTENING'". Now I don't know about you, but I perceive 'EASY LISTENING' to mean Kenny G., and pop music that is so innocuous that it's barely there. MAYBE I'M WRONG. But that's my perception.

Therefore, I thought, (and still do to this day) kd Lang does NOT belong in the 'EASY LISTENING' bin. That's not to say that she isn't easy to listen to. It's only to say that she should not be dismissed as innocuous, easy, simple, unobtrusive Kenny G-like music BY ANY MEANS!!!

I beg you, please LISTEN to kd Lang. . .
