Maybe its a time for a poll as to what the BJ Music level is.
I have a good idea but at what level of concern for an
"anticipated" new single by the "latest new artist".
You pretty much have to listen to radio or TV in some
cases to hear the newest song by an artist. I've always
depended mostly on radio shows to guide me through
this huge amount of music. That way is becoming harder
to find on the radiowaves. Not so sure whats happening
now in music is anything to pay attention to at all.

 Interesting you should mention , Krink -This one came across the interweb radio stream from http://www.ckua.org/ (our National Petroleum Radio equivalent) couple days ago. Not brand spanking new stuff but she caught my attention with a special energy. Seems simplistic enough, though the ability to sing well and fingerpick a guitar part that has both melody and bass line intertwined simultaneously is amazing. It requires a connection allowing both side of the brain to work as one which is rare. I think the lyrics are relevant MIR-wise to my friends of the road, brothers and sisters where ever they are. My enemies tu, for that matter, don't want tu imagine their train smashin into ours, now either. The late great Eva Cassidy comes to mind. RIP.
