Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.



Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

***** That fact will never let me rest,*****
Rest easy.   There is nothing you could have done.   Hopefully they have learned their lesson, but I doubt it.   They were always doomed, just a matter or when and what hurricane showed up.

The time for action is BEFORE the hurricane arrives.   All levels of government in Louisiana failed their citizens.    The people don't expect much from their elected officials, and they are seldom disappointed.   Of course the people themselves are not exactly blameless.

Anything at Scott AFB was also in Louisiana.

Cheers

Born in San Antonio, Texas, from the late 1920s, Glenn played with various jazz bands in the Dallas and San Antonio areas.

Lloyd Glenn:

Nice clip, but the sound seemed muffled.   Rather simple arrangement.   The other one , the noise just got to me.   Never did hear 'Sleigh Ride'.    The comments were over the top, so I guess he was very popular at one time.

I may as well confess now, I purchased Jon Batiste's Christmas CD.

Cheers
