      Glad you like Janis Joplin Vieome. Maybe she didn't have class, but what a voice! See the Joss Stone & Melissa Etheridge cover of Joplin. Joss Stone has soul and that is why she stands out as an artist. It has nothing to do with age. A good song will always stand the age of time, no matter what genre. There is some good modern music which will also endure. I just have it against the DJ's that ignore good music and play all the crap that our kids are growing up with. My experience is that even young people change their musical taste once exposed to good music, but don't force-feed them. They have to discover it for themselves.

      Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...

          Well there you have it! I’m just ‘staying alive!”


          “Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
          I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
          Music loud and women warm
          I've been kicked around since I was born
          But now it's all right, that's okay
          You may look the other way
          We can try to understand
          The New York Times' effect on man

          Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
          You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
          I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive
          Oh, when you walk

          Well, now I get low and I get high
          And if I can't get either, I really try
          Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
          I'm a dancin' man, and I just can't lose
          You know, it's all right, it's okay
          I'll live to see another day
          We can try to understand
          The New York Times' effect on man

          I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive
          Oh

          Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
          Somebody help me, yeah
          Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
          I'm stayin' alive

                    Bee Gees: More than a woman: 1977: Dance scene from movie: Video and lyrics



                    “Oh, girl, I've known you very well
                    I've seen you growing every day
                    I never really looked before
                    But now you take my breath away

                    Suddenly you're in my life
                    Part of everything I do
                    You got me working day and night
                    Just trying to keep a hold on you

                    Here in your arms I found my paradise
                    My only chance for happiness
                    And if I lose you now I think I would die

                    Oh, say you'll always be my baby
                    We can make it shine
                    We can take forever
                    Just a minute at a time

                    More than a woman (Ooh)
                    More than a woman to me
                    More than a woman
                    More than a woman to me

                    Oh, oh, oh
                    There are stories old and true
                    Of people so in love like you and me
                    And I can see myself
                    Let history repeat itself

                    Reflecting how I feel for you
                    Thinking 'bout those people then
                    I know that in a thousand years
                    I'd fall in love with you again

                    This is the only way that we should fly
                    This is the only way to go
                    And if I lose your love I know I would die

                    Oh, say you'll always be my baby
                    We can make it shine
                    We can take forever
                    Just a minute at a time

                    More than a woman (You are)
                    More than a woman to me
                    More than a woman
                    More than a woman to me

                    Oh, oh, oh
                    More than a woman (Ooh)
                    More than a woman to me (Oh, so much more)
                    More than a woman (Oh, baby)
                    More than a woman to me (Ooh)

                    More than a woman (Ooh)
                    More than a woman to me
                    More than a woman (Oh, oh, my baby)
                    More than a woman to me.”

                      Vieome, I enjoyed your Robert Cray number. This one's for you.
                      Tracy Chapman is one of those artists who write her own songs, but I just love this cover with Buddy Guy.

                            Beth Hart is another young talent worth watching.
