Belle & Sebastian: Piazza, New York Catcher

MLB's playoffs begin next week, so I thought a baseball song should be featured.

Bob Walkenhorst: Autumn Song

Autumn is here. Well, almost.

Here's a song about fall, by the great Bob Walkenhorst, called appropriately enough, "Autumn Song," from his 2021 album, A Thousand Words.

Walkenhorst is the frontman of the great Kansas City band, the Rainmakers--who are one of my favorites.

While the Rainmakers are a raucous Americana band, Walkenhorst's solo work is more instrospective.

"Autumn Song" is a shimmering ballad.

God bless Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk was assassinated this afternoon at a college campus in Utah. 

About ten years ago we exchanged a few emails about his efforts to build up support for the Republican Party on college campuses when he still lived in the Chicago area---about 10 miles from my home.

Now he's gone. 

But the best way to memorialize him is to fight for conservatism.

Rest in peace. God bless Charlie Kirk.

Van Morrison - Golden Autumn Day

Here's another Van Morrison song, in honor of the Belfast Cowboy's 80th birthday, which was last Sunday.

The weather is unseasonably cool here in the Chicago area, so fall is on my mind.

Here is Van's "Golden Autumn Day" from Back on Top.

Chicago's mayor announces $1.15 billion budget crisis, schools face additional $734 million deficit

Chicago faces huge deficits--yet it had plenty of money for illegals when they arrived.

And then there are Chicago's pensions--which are poorly funded.

Seriously, a bankruptcy in all but name is coming to America's third-largest city.
