I cranked up the CD player and have been listening to the smokin' CDs Jerry sent (I guess that's what happens when you burn 'em huh?) and gonna bop till I drop to doo-wop--and jazz, righteous solo Jerry and also the Gospel Messengers.

I also recently found a great new (to me) CD called "Fathers and Sons" with Chicago blues "fathers" Muddy Waters and Otis Spann playing with "sons" Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Sam Lay and Buddy Miles. It's sum good.

I've been wondering: How come some cultures have lots of singing, but no tradition of harmony singing? Anyone have any ideas?
