This is a story of the release of Bonnie Piesse’s Bittersweet EP, her debut album and a good one at that. But you can’t talk about the music without talking about Bonnie’s perseverance to get the Bittersweet EP made.

As the snow falls now and over the last few days, it has blanketed much of the country, bringing some places to a halt, I’m reminded of Betty White’s character Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore show and what she had to say about snow.
It could quite simply be the best description of snowfall in modern media, and it was written in the 1970s!

I am always amazed at the talent found on DeviantArt. The brushstrokes, a correctly placed pixel, the click of a camera at the right moment, the correct light, cartoon irony, serenity and humor.

November 22, 2013 is 50 years to the day that then President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Fifty years is a long time ago, but for the man who lived for just a short 46 years, he did a lot for his country and the world.
