Hip-Hop Heartbeat
In the heart of a bustling city where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and neon lights flickered through the night, lived a young rapper named Malik. He had grown up amidst the concrete jungle, where every beat of the street echoed in his rhymes and every graffiti-covered wall told a story.

The Old Radio's Song
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the old summer house in a warm, golden glow. Emily stood at the edge of the driveway, the gravel crunching under her feet. It had been years since she’d been here, yet every detail was etched in her memory—the way the trees framed the house, the creak of the porch swing, the scent of pine and earth. This place held the echoes of her childhood, and now, in the wake of her grandmother's passing, it beckoned her back.

Woody Guthrie - 3000 Unrecorded Songs
Introduction This is from a Seven Days in piece from 2019 which taught me a lot more about Woody Guthrie than I knew about at the time. The title "Woody Guthrie: Three Chords and The Truth " I think is perfect for such an important, influential artist.

'Surfin' Safari'
The Beach Boy's debut album, Surfin' Safari was released on October 1st 1962, but their origins go back to early November 1961. Wilson parents, Murry and Audree went on a business trip to Mexico City, leaving their three sons at their home in Hawthorne California with an emergency sum. Oldest Brother, Brian Wilson was a musical prodigy who loved the harmonies of the 50s vocal group The "Four Freshman", Younger Brother, Carl Wilson was an aspiring guitarist who loved practicing to Chuck Berry records. Middle Brother, Dennis was a surfer and suggested to Brian that he write a song about Surfing. Brian convened his brothers, First Cousin Mike Love and Brian's High School Friend Al Jardine and used the emergency money left for them along with an additional 300$ lent by Al's Mother Virginia to rent or buy musical instruments. Brian and Mike composed the tune Surfin'. When Murry and Audree returned home, Murry was initially furious that the boys had "Wasted" their money but was quickly won over by the quality of Brian and Mikes' song. They recorded a version of Surfin' for Hite and Dorinda Morgan of Candix Records. They initially wanted to call their group The "Pendletones" after the popular pendolton shirts many surfers favored. Label promotions man Russ Regan changed their name to the Beach Boys without the groups blessing. Surfin' was released as a single on Candix Records on November 27th 1961 , was a local radio hit in the Southern California Market and sold more than 40'000 copies

REMEMBERING THE TRUMPET PLAYER
Back in the days when I was in my early thirties, I used to frequent clubs to hear live bands. It was just fun, just so much fun. Dressing up, dancing, drinking, meeting new folks, having little new experiences, staying out late, stopping at the soul food drive-thru to get fried shrimp and French fries to take home afterwards. They were huge shrimp too and fried just perfectly every time, I mean every time. Sometimes they didn't last because I ate all of them in the car before I got home.
