I had nothing to say and not much left to lose. It seemed like the end was near as far as I knew. I was tore up, brokenhearted, nowhere to go, no one around.
''Up'' never crossed my mind, I was so low down: Check the way, extricating the preposition from his jowls and wringing it northwards, that Roger C. Reale inflects that. Good morning.
Listen in sequence if you can. The list makes more sense that way. Finishing towards the end before the boogie-woogie Rod & Joolsing bit with the masterly storytelling of the formidable Steve Cropper-Billy Gibbons-Jon Tiven- Roger C. Reale co-write 'Friendly Town' from Booker T. & the M. G.'s icon ''the Colonel'' Steve Cropper and The Midnight Hour as the playlist goes into more of a commercial blues rock vein before that by COMPLETE CONTRAST we pick out 'Make Me Whole' from rising star avant singer composer Sara Decker's Expand (Unit) out next month. The album features another Cologne jazzer in trumpeter Heidi Bayer along with Taiwanese New Yorker Yuhan Su, the Finnish bassist Kaisa Mäensivu and drummer Mareike Wiening, known for her acclaimed work on Dave Douglas' Greenleaf label. Not a complete newcomer by any means Decker who was born in 1984 and studied at New York's Manhattan School of Music and back home in Europe at the conservatoire in the Dutch city of Maastricht has had a few albums out and along the way has figured as a runner-up at the very top end Shure Montreux Jazz Voice Competition in Switzerland. So, shuffle the Deck, don't let it bring you down you could be walking into Friendly Town, to the 10:
