How many of your parent’s songs or grandparent’s songs do you sing? I’m betting that I can think of a round number that comes pretty close to how many of their songs you sing.

It’s why people, from the past, build statues and wrote documents. Future generations only remember statues and documents, not songs or books of fiction.

You may not like what I said, but life goes on and, if you didn’t create something concrete, it gets forgotten.

You must not have many tribute bands in your neck of the woods. There’s a restaurant in Grapevine, Texas that has live music every night, mostly performed by tribute bands.

December 4th is celebrated in my house, the anniversary of The Million Dollar Quartet. The last member recently passed away, Jerry Lee Lewis.

Somebody should tell Shakespeare, Homer, Beethoven, and Mozart.
