Joe South - Rest in Peace

A singer songwriter named Joe South died today. He had some amazing songs. I would like to link to one or two of them. Please enjoy.

He was also a guitarist, he played the electric guitar on this song by Simon and Garfunkel. YouTube - Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and I hope my lovely readers enjoyed his music as much as I did. Any of my longtime readers should know that I like to post links to music on occasion. My mother was kind enough to bless me with an appreciation of all types of music. My preferences and a certain type of jazz and classic rock; however, I also listen to country, rap, classical, folk and many other forms. Mr. South wrote, performed and played guitar, he recorded his own hits and was recorded by others and those versions became hits. He was played as Country and as Heavy Rock. The man had talent.

I didn't plan on writing about music or musicians tonight, I actually planned on writing about Honduras and a little experiment they have going on there.

Reward in Pastor Carol Daniels Case

I check my stats for this blog on a fairly regular base. I continue to be fascinated by how many people in Russia read it. When I see a spike in viewership, I try and determine which posts were being searched. Today I saw a spike in readership for the post on Pastor Daniels. I did an internet search and found that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering $10,000 for information leading to the killer's capture. They can be contacted at 1-800-522-8017. Here is a link to the article.

KOCO - OSBI renews reward in pastor homicide case on anniversary


A previous spike in readership had led me to discover an article that claimed that the OSBI had interviewed someone in the Chicago area; but, I chose not to publicize that at the time, I didn't want to get in the way. I don't always publish everything I write or even every comment that I receive for a variety of reasons. While I discuss many different subjects on this blog, it was originally intended to focus on just a few things, it just sort of took a life of it's own and I am okay with that.

In the end, the blog is about you and me, it is about the world around us and what it may mean, it is a free floating, what I read today thing. It is written usually in the time that it takes others to read it, I don't plan out anything more than a day in advance for this blog. This blog is about what matters, us and that is what it says in the title. You matter and Pastor Daniels mattered, we all matter.
