COACH LOU HOLTZ - The Will Do & Won't Do
Big Gap 'Tween WILL-DO Folks
And the WON'T DO Gang
The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works and the America that doesn’t. The America that contributes and the... America that doesn’t. It’s not the haves and the have nots, it’s the dos and the don’ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society and others don’t. That’s the divide in America .It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. It’s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time someone said it.The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting “income inequality.” He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that’s not just. That is the rationale of thievery.The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit.It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America. It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victim-hood and anger instead of ability and hope. The president’s premise – that you reduce income inequality by debasing the successful–seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices. Because, by and large, income variations in society are a result of different choices leading to different consequences.Those who choose wisely and responsibly have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure.Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income. You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college – and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education.You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income inequality between us. Our lives have had an inequality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an in equality of effort. While my doctor went to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant. He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he cheated and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.It is not inequality Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetime’s worth of asinine and short sighted decisions.Barack Obama and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring inequality of effort.The simple Law of the Harvest – as ye sow, so shall ye reap – is sometimes applied as, “The harder you work, the more you get.”Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society. Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.It is a false philosophy to say one man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man’s victimization.What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. That’s what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow. Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the truth to Lincoln’s maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”Lou HoltzLeo “Lou” Holtz (born January 6, 1937) is a retired American football coach, and active sportscaster, author, and motivational speaker.

My Baby, She's Got It - Slim Harpo & Betty Page
Published on Jan 3, 2013
Slim Harpo (January 11, 1924 -- January 31, 1970) was an American blues musician. He was known as a master of the blues harmonica; the name "Slim Harpo" was derived from "harp," the popular nickname for the harmonica in blues circles. Born James Moore in Lobdell, Louisiana, United States, the eldest in an orphaned family, he worked as a longshoreman and building worker during the late 1930s and early 1940s. He began performing in Baton Rouge bars under the name Harmonica Slim and later accompanied his brother-in-law, Lightnin' Slim, both live and in the studio. Named Slim Harpo by producer J.D. "Jay" Miller, he started his own recording career in 1957. His solo debut was the Grammy Hall of Fame single "I'm a King Bee" backed with "I Got Love If You Want It." Harpo recorded under A&R man J.D. "Jay" Miller, in Crowley, Louisiana for Excello Records based in Nashville, Tennessee, and enjoyed a string of popular R&B singles, including Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee "Rainin' In My Heart" (1961) and the number one Billboard R&B hit "Baby Scratch My Back" (1966). On these recordings he was accompanied by the regular stable of Excello musicians, including Lazy Lester. British rock bands like The Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, Pink Floyd and Them featured versions of his songs in their early repertoires. Later, the riff from Harpo's 1966 hit "Shake Your Hips", which itself was derivative of Bo Diddley's "Bring It to Jerome", was used in the ZZ Top hit "La Grange" and the Rolling Stones covered the song on their 1972 album Exile On Main Street. Harpo's recordings were also widely covered in modern African-American circles, including by the late Gil Scott-Heron, on his final album. Scott-Heron covered "I'll Take Care of You," on his record "I'm New Here."" The song is also featured on the remix album featuring Jamie XX called "We're New Here." Other notable covers of Slim Harpo songs include "I Got Love If You Want It," by The Kinks, "I'm the Face" by The Who (under the name The High Numbers), "I'm A King Bee," by The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd and The Doors, and "Don't Start Crying Now," by Them, with Van Morrison. The new Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey commercial features Slim Harpo's song "I'm a King Bee" covered by San Francisco blues band The Stone Foxes. Wikipedia

HEART playing STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN - Robert Plant Kennedy Honors
Robert Plant Breaks Down In Tears When Ann Wilson Covers ‘Stairway To Heaven’
Music lovers, you’re in for a big treat.
In December 2012, CBS aired its broadcast of the annual Kennedy Center Honors, which awards exemplary lifetime achievement in the performing arts. This was the year that British classic rock band Led Zeppelin was one of the honorees.
“Stairway to Heaven,” released in 1971, is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time. For any guitarist, learning each note of the intro is basically a birthright. When Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart came on stage for the Kennedy Center Honors finale, their rendition of “Stairway” instantly went viral. Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin’s famed frontman, nearly broke down in tears as the Wilson sisters were joined by late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham’s son Jason on drums. “Stairway” is an incredibly difficult song to perform and pull off live, with its anthemic energy, building climax, and intricate vocals, yet Ann took full command of the classic rock tune, and left the entire audience speechless. Her voice takes a powerful turn at 4:00, and you don’t want to miss it!
Watch the powerhouse performance below. I guarantee you’ll be standing in your seat by the end.
I’m just gonna say it: This is one of the best covers of “Stairway To Heaven” that has ever been sung by anyone.

Duo MainTenanT
An Example of Passion & Chemistry
A lot of people enjoy watching performers dance on stage. It is not only entertaining, but some people are so talented and capable of such amazing maneuvers that it is truly astounding.
It can truly be amazing to see the human body is capable of such movies, and that people can perform such impressive maneuvers in such a coordinated fashion. It is even more impressive when these maneuvers are done when two people are dancing together, because they are not only coordinating their movements with the music but with one another as well.

Nicolas Besnard and Ludivine Furnon are two former members of the Cirque du Soleil. On a Swiss live television show called “Benissimo,” these two perform a dance that wows everyone. The dance is called Duo MainTenanT, and it is both beautiful and sensual at the same time. It is extremely passionate, and it is like a love scene done in the form of dance.
This is just one example that shows that dance is more than just a series of movements. It is art on a variety of levels. It not only shows the talent and coordination of the dancers, but it can actually express emotions and aspects of the human condition as well. It is even better when the dancers are as talented as these two were, because it will be expressed in all of its glory and beauty. This performance was amazing, and it is definitely worth seeing for anyone who likes to watch dance.

B.B. KING DEAD AT 89
Published // 15.MAY.15
One of the greatest American musicians of all time, B.B. King, passed away in his sleep on Thursday 14 May 2015 in Las Vegas. He was 89. The "King of the Blues" mentored scores of guitarists, including Eric Clapton. EC posted a video tribute to B.B. on Facebook, which can be viewed here.
Riley B. King was born on a cotton plantation near Itta Bena, Mississippi on 16 September 1925. Known worldwide as the “King of the Blues”, his trademark is his instantly recognizable vibrato. He wouldn’t become “B.B.” until 1948.
B.B first learned to love music through church services, as the preacher would lead the singing by playing guitar. He taught B.B. a few basic chords. By 9, he was singing in a gospel group. In his mid-teens, B.B. began working on a plantation as a tractor driver. He continued to sing and also began accompanying gospel groups on guitar.
During World War II, B.B. was required to register for selective service. The plantation owner told him he would have a better chance of a deferment if he was married, so B.B. married his first wife in November 1944.
Two years later, in May 1946, B.B. had an accident with a plantation tractor, breaking off the exhaust stack. Not wanting to face the owner, he left Mississippi for Memphis with $2.50 and his guitar. B.B. moved in with his cousin, Bukka White, who schooled him in the blues. In 1947, with his music career going nowhere, he moved back to the Mississippi plantation where he and his wife worked as share croppers.
In 2005, B.B. was asked what inspired him to become a musician. He replied, “I was poor! We never had anything when I was growing up, never had our own home. I picked cotton for a dollar a day, I baled hay by hand, planted corn and soybeans. Then I was offered $3 a day to drive a tractor. But once I got better on the guitar, I could stand on Church Street in Indianola, Mississippi and make $50 or $60 in one evening. Now, why would I want to keep driving that tractor?”
In 1948, he returned to Memphis determined to become a success in the music business. There, he looked up Sonny Boy Williamson (Aleck “Rice” Miller) and convinced Sonny Boy to let him play on his radio show. Sonny Boy also passed gigs to B.B that he couldn't fit in. B.B. then secured a radio gig of his own at WDIA where he worked as a DJ and played live on air. Needing a catchy name, he called himself the “Beale Street Blues Boy” which he shortened to “Blues Boy King” and eventually to “B.B. King”. Through his show, his fame began to spread.
He recorded his first singles in 1949, but would not have a hit until 1951, “Three O’Clock Blues.” Between 1951 and 1985, he was on the Billboard Charts 74 times between 1951 and 1985.
His Gibson guitar, Lucille, was as famous as the musician. He often recounted the story that one night in the early 1950s, he was playing in a small club when a fight broke out over a woman and a kerosene-filled garbage pail that was being used for heat was knocked over. The room turned into an inferno. Outside, B.B. realized he had left his guitar in the club. He foolishly rushed back in to save it. He was badly burned and almost lost his life when the building began to collapse around him. The next morning, he learned the woman’s name was Lucille. He named the guitar after her to remind himself never to do something so stupid again. Today, Gibson markets a “Lucille” model with B.B.’s endorsement.
B.B. was revered by many rock musicians, even touring with U2 in the late 1980s. But his association with Eric Clapton brought his music to millions of rock fans around the world. Over the years, the men shared a stage numerous times since they first met in the late 1960s. B.B. was an honored guest at all of EC's Crossroads Guitar Festivals (2004 / 2007 / 2010 / 2013). They performed with Buddy Guy at Buddy’s induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March 2005. In 1999, they teamed up for the Grammy Awards, the NAACP Image Awards and the "Concert Of The Century", which took place at the White House in Washington, D.C. On October 15, 1998 B.B. walked on for the encore at Eric’s Earls’ Court, London concert. Additionally, Eric appeared on an American television salute to B.B., which was released on video as B.B. King and Friends (1988).
B.B. and Eric also got together in the recording studio. In 1998, they duetted on “Rock Me Baby”, for King’s album, Deuces Wild. In the early months of 2000, they recorded tracks for the album, "Riding With The King." It topped the charts, garnered several awards and was certified gold within three weeks of release. They teamed up again in 2005 to record B.B.’s "The Thrill is Gone" for B.B.’s CD 80.
In December 2006, B.B. received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, from President George W. Bush, in recognition of his musical contributions.

The Best 3 1/2 Minutes you'll spend today
Have you ever heard of the Private Treptow Pledge ?
After Pvt. Treptow was killed, a diary was found in which he had inscribed the following pledge: ''America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.''
THE PLEDGE OF PRIVATE TREPTOW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20— Martin A. Treptow, a young and obscure American private killed in France in World War I, was written into American history books by President Reagan today because of a letter Mr. Reagan received from an unidentified admirer.
Toward the end of his Inaugural Address, President Reagan spoke of monuments to heroism and, with a struggle to control his voice, drew attention to ''the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery with its row upon row of simple white markers.''
''Under such a marker lies a young man, Martin Treptow, who left his job in a small-town barber shop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division,'' Mr. Reagan said.
After Pvt. Treptow was killed, a diary was found in which he had inscribed the following pledge: ''America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.'' Recalling Message of Letter
White House officials said that Mr. Reagan, wanting a passage for the address to illuminate his point of heroism, recalled the letter he had received earlier with the reference to Pvt. Treptow.
Mr. Reagan's speech writers dug many of the facts about Pvt. Treptow out of the National Archives here and spent a day looking for his grave in Arlington, across the Potomac river.
Officials at the cemetery, however, said that Pvt. Treptow was buried in Bloomington, Wis. Further checking by researchers of The New York Times determined that he was buried in Bloomer, Wis., a small town in the northwestern part of the state. White House officials said Mr. Reagan did not mean to imply that the soldier was buried in Arlington.
While President Reagan may have turned Pvt. Treptow into a national hero, he was not entirely unknown before today. The American Legion posts in Bloomer, Wis., and Cherokee, Iowa, were named for him. Moreover, it appears that the pledge cited by Mr. Reagan may have been used before by President Wilson and by former Senator Guy Gillette, Democrat of Iowa.
Pvt. Treptow was born January 19, 1894, in Chippewa Falls, Wis., near Bloomer, where he grew up. He was working as a barber in Cherokee, Iowa, when the United States entered the war in 1917.
There he enlisted in the Iowa National Guard, which became the 168th Infantry Regiment, 84th Brigade, in the 42d ''Rainbow'' Division when it was called to Federal service.
Pvt. Treptow was killed while serving as a runner, or courier, for Company M in the battle of the Ourcq River on July 29, 1918.

Hillary’s Ungainly Glide
ARTICLE
COMMENTS (45)
HILLARY CLINTON
MARCO RUBIO
PEGGY NOONAN
I’m off the next two weeks finishing a book, and I can already tell you this is a terrible time to be away from the scene. Hillary Clinton’s announcement followed by her dark-windowed SUV journey into deepest darkest America was the most inept, phony, shallow, slickily-slick and meaningless launch of a presidential candidacy I have ever seen. We have come to quite a pass when the Clintons can’t even do the show business of politics well. The whole extravaganza has the look of profound incompetence and disorganization—no one could have been thinking this through—or profound cynicism, or both. It has yielded only one good thing, and that is a memorable line, as Mrs. Clinton glided by reporters: “We do have a plan. We have a plan for my plan.” That is how the Washington Post quoted her, on ideas on campaign finance reform.
Marco Rubio had a pretty great announcement in that it made the political class look at him in a new way, and a better way. I have heard him talk about his father the bartender I suppose half a dozen times, yet hearing it again in his announcement moved me. I don’t know how that happened. John Boehner is the son of a barkeep. It has occurred to me a lot recently that many if not most of the people I see in the highest reaches of American life now come from relatively modest circumstances. Rubio is right that this is our glory, but I’m thinking one of the greatest things about America is a larger point: There’s room for everybody. You can rise if you come from one of the most established, wealthiest families, and you can rise if you came from nothing. I have promised myself I will stop talking about the musical “Hamilton” and so will not note that this is one of the points made in the musical “Hamilton”: America was special in this regard from the beginning, with landed gentry like Jefferson and Washington working side by side with those such as the modestly born Ben Franklin and the lowborn Alexander Hamilton. But now it is more so. Anyway, back to Rubio: “Yesterday’s over” was good, and strict, and was a two shot applying as much to the Clintons as the Bushes.
Two points on the general feel of the 2016 campaign so far.
One is that in the case of Mrs. Clinton we are going to see the press act either like the press of a great nation—hungry, raucous, alive, demanding—or like a hopelessly sickened organism, a big flailing octopus with no strength in its arms, lying like a greasy blob at the bottom of the sea, dying of ideology poisoning.
Republicans know—they see it every day—that Republican candidates get grilled, sometimes impertinently, and pressed, sometimes brusquely. And it isn’t true that they’re only questioned in this way once they announce, Scott Walker has been treated like this also, and he has yet to announce. Republicans see this, and then they see that Mrs. Clinton isn’t grilled, is never forced to submit to anyone’s morning-show impertinence, is never the object of the snotty question or the sharp demand for information. She gets the glide. She waves at the crowds and the press and glides by. No one pushes. No one shouts the rude question or rolls out the carefully scripted set of studio inquiries meant to make the candidate squirm. She is treated like the queen of England, who also isn’t subjected to impertinent questions as she glides into and out of venues. But she is the queen. We are not supposed to have queens.
Second point: We have simply never had a dynamic like the one that seems likely to prevail next year.
On the Republican side there is a good deep bench and there will be a hell of a fight among serious and estimable contenders. A handful of them—Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Rubio, maybe Bobby Jindal—are first-rate debaters, sharp advancers of a thought and a direction. Their debates, their campaigning, their oppo geniuses, their negative ads—it’s all going to be bloody. Will the American people look at them in 2016 and see dynamism and excitement and youth and actual ideas and serious debate? Will it look like that’s where the lightning’s striking and the words have meaning? Will it fortify and revivify the Republican brand? Or will it all look like mayhem and chaos? Will the eventual winner emerge a year from now too bloodied, too damaged to go on and win in November? Will the party itself look bloody and damaged?
On the Democratic side we have Mrs. Clinton, gliding. If she has no serious competition, will the singularity of her situation make her look stable, worthy of reflexive respect, accomplished, serene, the obvious superior choice? Or will Hillary alone on the stage, or the couch, or in the tinted-window SUV, look entitled, presumptuous, old, boring, imperious, yesterday?
Will it all come down to bloody versus boring?
And which would America prefer?

Andrew in Memphis 2015
It was wonderful to share this experience with my Middle Son Andrew.
Photos to follow
IBC Memphis- 31 st International Blues Challemge
The 31st International Blues Challenge was a super event and the Atlanta Blues Society wants to thank the fantastic ambassadors we sent to represent us.
We are once again tremendously proud of all three of our participants. The JP Blues band put on scorching performances in the quarter and semi finals.
They were definitely one of the tightest and most polished bands on Beale Street.
At least two of their judges from the quarter finals came to watch them in the semi finals and were surprised when they weren't selected to go to the finals.
Blind Cadillac gave two very strong performances in the quarter finals, but as luck would have it, their venue had some very talented performers.
Three of the acts that were selected from their venue went all the way to the finals and one came in second.
GHP made us all proud of them and our youth program by giving the crowd an excellent performance in the youth showcase.
They received many accolades from the crowd. There was a lot going in Memphis besides the competition.
There were several showcases that highlighted many touring acts and of course the jams were fantastic.
There were several gatherings and benefits for the Hart Fund that highlighted regional acts, such as the Candians and the Asian contingent.
We thoroughly enjoyed all of it and can’t wait until next year which the dates are set for January 26-30, 2016.
Your President and Co-President, Barb Hilke and George Klein.
