I have done this song with a couple of different folks at open mic. I never realized until I saw Ken Burns documentary on jazz that Armstrong was the father of improvisation in music. Until he came along everyone just played the music that was on the page. Most modern music would be pretty boring without some improvisation involved, especially live music.

Is massage an important part of a loving physical relationship?

Sticks48 comments on Nov 2, 2019:

I have lived with one masseuse and dated another, so I learned how to give a pretty good massage. I have found some people just don't like getting a massage. If they like them I give them, and if they don't, that is okay too. Personally I think a good weekly massage is a very good thing for the body and the brain.

Too many scandals in the church-especially the conservative religions!

Sticks48 comments on Nov 2, 2019:

Conservative equals scandal whether in politics or the church. Conservatives are deathly afraid of change and they can't seem to figure out change is inevitable. They never stop change. They slow it down sometimes, but it happens anyway. This fear and also greed makes them do unethical and often illegal acts. From the middle of the 20th Century to the present and into the future, these changes happen faster and faster, and they can't deal with this reality. This is why they always refer to the past and not the future. This and their fear of women, people of color, and the LGBT community is why they are no longer fit to govern on the national level. They simply can't keep up. IMO

If you did that in Texas it would take you years to get a house built. Certain fruits and vegetables would cost a fortune, and there would be no paved or repaired roads to go anywhere. Texas is not the only state which depends on these workers. After Katrina the Mayor of New Orleans said they would never have gotten the city rebuilt without those illegal aliens.

I read somewhere that atheism is not a religion.

Sticks48 comments on Nov 1, 2019:

Religions are organizations. You can have belief in a higher power and not believe in religions. I know folks who fall into that category. We are not organized. So, no we are not a religion.

Do you consider yourself Progressive?

Sticks48 comments on Oct 29, 2019:

I am a Progressive. I am also pragmatic. In a Sept Gallup Poll 31% of registered voters are Democrats, 29% Republicans, 39% Independents. Less than 50% of Democrats call themselves liberal. This means you have to get a large number of moderates to win. This is why Biden leads national polls which include all voters not just the Democrats. He is a known quantity and they feel like there will be any surprises. This is not a liberal country. It is a centrist country. It may and I hope it is more liberal in the future, but we ain't there yet. I will vote who ever the Dems nominate. I will be fine with any of them.
