Your RIBS for this week are ready!

Hey, I’m really excited about this week mix. As a matter of fact, so much so that I’m going to forgo talking about the groups right now (I’ll come back and edit/modify the post later today with more detailed information) so you can get right to the music.

So, without delay let us present…

The Dramatics

The Chi-Lites

The Persuaders

Real classic, soul music. It’s the “Taste of Music to Satisfy Your Soul”

RIBS TPTD: “Send Me An Angel”…

Whew!

Man, oh man… what a wacky couple of weeks it has been. I mean, I’ve been around long enough to understand that the world is crazy place, no surprise there. But the past couple weeks it seems like the crazy has been on overdrive. We’ve lost so many good people and in such rapid succession, it’s like nothing I’ve can ever remember experiencing before in my lifetime.

Recently we lost:

Koko Taylor (blues singer)

David Carradine (actor [Kung Fu, Kill Bill])

Ed McMahon (TV show host [Star Search] and announcer [The Tonight Show])

Farrah Fawcett (actress [Charlie’s Angels]))

Michael Jackson (singer [Jackson 5/The Jacksons/solo])

Fayette Pinkney (singer [The Three Degrees])

Billy Mays (TV pitchman)

Karl Malden (actor [The Streets of San Francisco])

and on Saturday July 4, 2009 while enjoying the holiday weekend word came down that Steve McNair former NFL quarterback with the Tennessee Titans was found shot to death in an apparent murder/suicide (at least that’s the early word being released at the time of writing this early in the morning on Sunday July 5th)

My prayers go out to the friends, fans and family of all of the above.

{sigh} So… at this time I figured we all could use a break. I figured we all could use some help to try and get us through these difficult days. Sometimes you just can’t (or shouldn’t) handle things all by yourself. It’s at times like this that maybe, just maybe we should turn our thoughts to the sky and ask the Almighty to please…
