and what songs would be appropriate for this holiday....

MLK

Though I'm not gigging on MLK day this year, the one I like do to commemorate Martin Luther King's birthday is "A Change Gonna Come". I'm very surprised that Billboard didn't include Sam Cooke's 1963 moving classic in their MLK song list:




Dwayne Cooke (2013):

Me, at an upscale Jewish Retirement Community - Hava Nagila, If I Were A Rich Man, This Land Is Ours, and the usual routine.

Gary

... get those Latin dances ready, Gary ...

Do Hava Nagila as a cha-cha.

... the old "kill two birds with one stone" ...

... and don't forget "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen"

and My Yiddish Momme

I'm gonna play what those ladies and gents want to hear - the holiday has no bearing on the event. It's just another day at the office.

Gary

Not sure if I'm working because I don't know what day it is. Now I have to look it up.
I wasn't that much aware of him and all he accomplished until he was shot. I used to live in a bubble I guess, but I never was really exposed to racism situations in my younger days. There were no black people in our town, just lots of Native American type "Indians". We all got along fine, though most were very poor back then. Weren't many rich folks in our town either!

... it's Monday, Don ...

Sure, now you tell me after I looked it up!
Once while in Memphis I visited the place where he was shot.
I also got attacked one night while in my car on MLK Boulevard in Memphis, but that's another story!

Glad I'm getting in Today's MLK gig....as NWS projections from Tuesdays big snow storm read 6-12" as of now & will be rescheduling some other gigs for tues/wed,....YUK!

The short range NAM model is now within 48 hours (it's specialty range). It's showing a 994mb low pressure center which is the strongest modeled since the Canadian picked up on this storm last Thursday. It looks like snow starts between 10AM and 2PM tomorrow and clears out around sunrise on Wednesday. Peak intensity would be tomorrow evening from 7PM-Midnight. When all is said and done, I'm thinking 6-12 inches of snow along the heaviest axis of snow. That axis could set up anywhere between I-95/NJTP to the immediate Jersey Shore. That won't be determined until live casting. NNJ should still see some snow but less than the coastal plain. SENJ (we'll call it south and east of the NJTP) has a serious chance of holy crap now!

I suspect I'll see enough down here to lose Tuesday's job, which is just one more reason why I hate winter in this part of the world.
