#soulsky #soulmusic #musicsky Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody (1975) Played the bajasus out of this Teddy Pendergrass on-lead tune when DJing in the 70s. Not only a great song but it also, due to long length, provided a timely bathroom break www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOxo...

There has never been an RIF in the VA before. There are over 400,000 VA employees so this is a relatively small number. Would like to hear from someone who was laid off today and what role they had. 98 million sounds like a lot but budget is 369 billion. Not really much savings

Noted for its creative tension, “Money Jungle” is regarded as one of the best jazz trio albums of all time. For this legendary recording, the lauded maestro Duke Ellington got into the studio with Charles Mingus and Max Roach. www.everythingjazz.com/story/money-...

#moviesky When I was a wee one, the movie Night of the Hunter scared the bajeebies out of me. As an adult, I realize how good of an actor Robert Mitchum was. The film was Charles Laughton's only appearance as a director due to the negative reviews. Tis now a considered a noir classic.
