  Ever since excitedly cycling a mile or three to the nearest record store the very day “Hey Jude” was released, I had been loyally buying up each and every new Apple 45-RPM disc my weekly childhood allowance allowed. But checking the ol’ singles clock, as pictured, reminds me that Early 1970, as Ringo would […]

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, the young Fox began playing piano at the age of five. A lifetime of playing music and sitting at the piano has allowed it to become second nature to him.

Classic Swedish hard rockers Shaggy released an outstanding album already back in 1975 and then fell off the earth, to return in 2012 with the equally exceptional album “Destination Nowhere.” Fighting Angels And Demons then followed this album”, was a double album, divided into two releases.
