Someone new liked one of my posts today!

So I visited their blog only to discover that (sob) I’m unwelcome. “Hard to believe, Harry” as the late, lamented Richie Ashburn useta say.

You see friends I’m a conservative. I’m also remarkably handsome, an adequate pugilist, an ambidextrous marksman, an extraordinary lover, a flâneur ; and a master of ‘murican music that matters.

But where I fail my new perspective pal is my personal political persuasion. Now I won’t lament the loss but shall share the absurdity of their premise. Which simply states: No MAGA allowed.

Let’s go to church with Sly and the Family for a little while.

Happy birthday you beautiful badass.

There was a time, albeit a short time, when Tom Browder AKA August Darnell was just about the coolest muthafucker in all of New York City. I believe his writing and arrangements for his brother’s Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band are his best work, but you’ll find gems in everything he touched.
