Apparently, Richard Marx's evocative song, "Moscow Calling" was blocked here on Blue Sky. Why I wouldn't know? Go on You Tube and find it from his excellent CD, "Songwriter"-- which for me as a musician is a Master's Class. I'm posting his book and CD images in the spirit of sharing some sanity.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Like so many of you, I've been so busy, I've been absent here. As a buddy of mine with ALS and told me during a visit to his house in Fountain Hills, Arizona: "Sometimes life gets in the way." So allow me to catch up by wishing a belated Happy Birthday to the lovely and talented Sheryl Crow.
