Vida Girls - and Native American Music, mixed with Klezmer

Vida Girls - American Funk Hick-Hop Band from Eugene, Oregon

AS I work on this Vida Girls site, I go to seek music on the net to support my heavy thinking.

USUALLY... my favorite streaming audio mustic is by the old "Spinner" now called music plus at netscape.

I feel like being DIFFERENT today, musically speaking too, as it helps me focus. SO, I OPEN UP my installed: WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, and turn to RADIO, and wind up with a NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC channel, that is quite amazing.

It also triggers me, of how much I like having so many different music styles available. On MP&N, I really like: KLEZMER (yittish jazz), OCTOBERFEST - German Polkas, NATURAL SOUNDS ( my fav, 15 minutes of stream, followed by 15 minutes of thunderstorm, or windchimes on back porch. Also on MP&N. So now, I add NATIVE AMERICAN and I flash in my head.... THESE STYLES, so different in origins, but so plesantly received... is what .... AMERICA.. is all about.

OK... that's my BLOG NOTE, and I'm weBLOGging it now.

Today's BLOG - (i'm starting a serious path now)
STARDATE: Today and counting...

Drix sez: I miss Spaulding Gray, the bright and kind thinking east coast man that killed himself a few weeks ago. I only knew him through his writings.. hell, I never read, his MOVIES, his sit behind a desk, start a story and take the listener on a real Mark Twain storytell.

So, I guess he had an accident. His body started missfiring, and it bothered him so much, that he took his wallet and keys, put them on his dresser, and went out for a walk, and a ride on the Staten Island Ferry.

That was in the front of FEBRUARY - two de four, and he was never heard from again. His wife and kids are sad, and their house is MT.

So, here it is, March9, two de four, and his body has just been found on the Staten Island Ferry route.

I GOOOGLE searched Spaulding Grey, and found this cool blog of an
English teaching, tech-coordinating, basketball and Ultimate coaching teacher at Beacon. (Beacon what? I don't know. Must be a local something, but I really enjoyed his writing.

So, there.
Blog done,
