The popular music performers that Margaret and I loved to go see in concert were Joan Armatrading, Betty (the group) and The Roches. Betty moved to New York in the mid-80’s I think, so we only saw them once or twice, but we saw Joan Armatrading and The Roches several times over the years. I’ve …

My darling HillBuzz boyz, don't just leave the Democrats, JOIN the Republicans
I am up way past my bedtime, but I just got quite the shot of adrenaline from seeing in my newsfeed the following headline from HillBuzz: “We are very close to no longer being Democrats.” My darlings — I love you with all my heart — as Ronald Reagan said — you are not leaving …
