Song Of The Day: Jan. 30, 2018
Paste Magazine just did a piece on the greatest garage rock albums of all-time. Garage rock bands really didn’t do albums. Singles, baby. Like Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Like this:

Dedications, we do dedications. This rousing anthem goes out to RE Vanella from his not-so-secret admirer, Alby:

Mike Dinsmore gave me several songs from which to choose. Why did I choose this one? I’ll let Mike explain: “Most inspirational song I’ve ever heard. It inspired a relative to run for Congress many years ago. Against Tom Carper, no less!”

1. Melanie George Smith To Retire. There is a reason why she announced her retirement when she did. By the end of this weekend, we will all know why.

Mike Dinsmore’s fave R & B song. Sung by, IMHO, the greatest soul singer of them all:
Delaware General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., Jan. 25, 2018
Last session day before the Joint Finance Committee meets. Meaning, today’s the day that Gov. Carney introduces his budget proposal, which then becomes the starting point for JFC deliberations. My expectations are low. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Cerron Cade is the new Secretary Of Labor. That’s about it. Little of interest on today’s […]
