Sunday Hillary Blogging

If you like great guitarists, then I have a treat for you all tonight: Johnny A. Johnny A is truly one of the finest guitarists I have ever seen perform over the years — in fact he’s so fine, that Gibson Guitar even created the Johnny A. Signature model. I first saw Johnny A perform […]

Late Night: Carlos Santana & Sarah McLachlan - Angel

There was plenty happening in the blogosphere and the news today but my brain is in a fog… Political Overload. Way too much information.
I was listening to Santana today and then Sarah McLachlan trying to get my head out of politics and into something more pleasant and ethereal. When Angel starting playing on my Sarah McLachlan CD, […]
