Walk Right and Hit 'Em Up Style

So there was this band, Maata Haari, and they made this song, Walk Right, and then they broke up. It's a grinding, blues riff that makes my lip snarl like I'm doing an Elvis impersonation. She Goes Til' She's Gone is pretty solid, too.

na Chocolate Drops are the rare modern-day bluegrass band that's composed entirely of black folks. Aside from the novelty, they got chops. I particularly like their cover of Blu Cantrell's Hit 'Em Up Style. The other song I like from their latest album is Snowden's Jig.

Well OK then.

Welcome to my music blog. For a few years now, I've been blabbing on to this or that friend or relative about music that I like. Much of the time, they actually like what I've played for them. Sometimes, the tech savvy among them have said I should start a music blog. So here goes.

I also made a resolution (that just happens to coincide with the Jewish new year) that I should cook for myself more often (well that is to say, at all since more often implies that I was cooking previously which I was not). Again, maybe it was just one instance too many of a friend or relative mocking my steady diet of Trader Joe's prepared meals. So once in a while, more for me than for you, dear and infrequent reader, I'll also post about my adventures in unskilled cooking.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and helps me cook. Thanks also to anyone who reads and recommends some music to me in return. I also love to hear feedback if you like something I've recommended.
