I know little of the TV show The Voice. I want to share Tom Jones, and others on the show like Will I Am say the moment was magical. ( the experience )
What a ride I had so many years ago.

ELVIS, Anka and Burr
Burr and Anka are talking; ELVIS is the topic
Like Bill Burr I never met Elvis. Paul Anka met Elvis Presley and years later hung out with Elvis. I did, however, meet two guys who sang behind Elvis. I met and hung out with Hugh Jarrett who was a member of the Jordanires, a group that sang behind Elvis for early recordings, and too I think I saw Hugh behind Elvis in the movie King CREOLE. The other guy was J. D. Sumner who was with Elvis on stage in Las Vegas and might have set a record for singing a low note. Met Hugh when he and I were part-time personalities in the 80s at WSB Radio in Atlanta. Met J. D. in the 70s when he visited WPAD Radio in Paducah, Kentucky.
The Kind of Silly I’m Into
Really, this is what I do. I try never to repeat a source, but I just feature a YOU TUBE video made not by me. This one is Waddingham, a nice lady whom I only recently know of slightly, and she is with Tom Hanks whom I am a little more familiar with. He and she do a silly thing that is like a rap that he did in the movie BIG.
A Surprising Recording Artist
On the air, on the radio in Shizuoka, Japan I might be guilty of heavy promotion. Yes, I think he is sincere in attempting a country style. He is just a generation out of Nigeria. Collins Obinna Chibueze was born May 9, 1995.
New School (Bad Girls)
Coachella had Atarashi Gakko a few months ago. I seem to be ON THEIR Band Wagon. I am promoting them even though there is no hit song to play on my radio show. It is NOT a matter of vocal talent but rather incredible presentation skill, showmanship! They don’t mind speaking a little English, and they sometimes teach a little Japanese as part of the show. The use of drums from the USC band reminds me of TUSK from Fleetwood MAC way back in 1980. Am suggesting that this should be the opening for all stops on the Harris campaign.
Caroline Is Down Under and Remains a Democrat
Politically, I lean toward this Kennedy not that one. I mean not Bobby’s son RFK Junior. Sometimes he makes sense, but if he cannot get the endorsement of his cousin Caroline, I cannot give him mine. Caroline was the ambassador to Japan for the second Obama term but now is the Ambassador for the U.S. to Australia.
