Take two…y’all, the love I’ve been feeling from my community in the last couple days has been giving me life. #banjoauntie always fighting for our history and the truth. Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Many quote Daddy today, but when he was alive, he was one of the most hated men in the United States. And I suspect that, among the many who quote him, there are those who hate the authentic, peacemaking, truth telling, poverty-racism-militarism eradicating King. #MLK

My article about @BillyStrings and @mollytuttle was published in Moon Shiner, the Japanese bluegrass magazine. Tetsu Kawatani showed me his copy. Many thanks to Shin Akimoto for translating my words into Japanese, and to Jeromie Stephens, for providing the photo of Billy Strings.

I’m starting a new series called “Banjo Friday” where I post banjo tunes every Friday! Hopefully I’ll be consistent with this 😅 This tune is called Cripple Creek!

We left our hearts with you, Tony Bennett. Rest in Peace.

[Tony Bennett @itstonybennett]

Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, “Because of You,” his first #1 hit.

Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever. ❤

@DaveMinCA @HouseGOP And roughly 30 House Democrats and 16 Senate Democrats voted to reverse regulations to guard against banking failures. Not every Democrat, unfortunately, is willing to stand up to Wall Street. @daveminCA is and it’s one of many reason that I’m proud to support him.
