Toluu : Layla's Classic Rock

Layla's Classic Rock

No matter what your personal taste in music is, if you are truly PASSIONATE about it, you will get this:

The last six days of my life have been hellish. I wondered at times if I would ever feel "normal" again, if life could ever have a glimmer of joy or if I would spend the rest of my days drowning in the worry that inflicts parents of drug addicts.

But then...

I watched this, and I felt good. I got lost in SRV's unparalleled talent and suddenly had hope. It may not make sense, but it is what it is.

God bless you, Stevie.

(HAPPY?) New YearJanuary 1

If you read my personal blog you'll know that I am in the middle of a serious situation with my son. I am hoping that this year will be a new beginning for him.

I have a few CDs to review and will get around to it soon, but blogging is kind of the last thing on my mind these days.

I do want to THANK each and every one of you who read here for your contribution to the ongoing discussion of ROCK and ROLL !!

Truth on Earth, A ReviewDecember 28 2008

I really, really wanted to give this CD a good review. The group consists of three teenage sisters. Each beautiful inside and out - and its their hearts that appealed to me because they are not your typical teen group. They follow Ghandi's anti-violence views, they are sensitive to many issues that face teens today such as bullying, anorexia, world hunger, child abuse, etc. I admire their desire to make a difference with their music.

Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to listen to. I'm struggling to find a nice way to put it: they don't have much talent sounds harsh. I'll just say they have potential and passion and hopefully in the future they will produce something more creative and appealing. Their voices grated on my nerves. The lyrics were okay. But the idea behind the music is inspirational.

If anyone would like to give them a listen let me know and I will send you my copy.
