A Song For Sunday - Ninety Nine And A Half · John Scofield - Piety Street

Scofield's album Piety is filled with some great gospel songs. John is one of my favorite guitar players.

You can't get there by your own power you need someone to do it for you and that person is Jesus Christ the only person to completely keep God's law.

"Gentleman" Jim Corbett - The man my father was named after - James Corbett Freer

James J Corbett was the first person to win the Heavyweight title under the Marquees of Queensberry rules, when he defeated John L Sullivan in 1892 in the 21st round. He was known for his footwork, speed, timing and defense.

Dr. John Dead at 77 - "When the Saints Go Marching In"

Towards the break of day June 6, iconic music legend Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr., known as Dr. John, passed away of a heart attack. As a Rock N Roll Hall of Famer, 6X Grammy winner, songwriter, composer, producer, and performer he created a unique blend of music which carried his home town, New Orleans, at its heart, as it was always in his heart. Man knows not his time. Death will pay a visit to everyone of us, the question is will we be ready?
