Joe Wong and The Nite Creatures I found this tune at SRR. When I started looking for information on Joe Wong, I really went down the rabbit hole! From Joe’s official website, I learned: Born in Milwaukee, WI, Joe studied several instruments as a child and began touring and recording with punk and indie bands…

#FF — Prison
PHOTO PROMPT © Susan Rouchard Prison Since the day Daddy held her down when Mama went to town; onward to the day Bobby, the butcher’s son, caught her in the school stairwell, she’d been in prison. Always looking over her shoulder on day errands and never venturing out at night, menace lurked as her companion….
Friday Favorite Feature 23 — “Pull at the Chains” by Shaky Odds
Here’s another tune from SRR. I think Shaky Odds is based in The Netherlands. From the blurb at both Spotify and YouTube: Shaky Odds was founded by ‘Rusty’ Ron Hein, chance survivor of a foregone century, who pursued careers in accountancy, tax and tech before finally deciding that music might be even more fun.

Popdudes is the long-running power pop inspired side-project for music scribe, John M….
Friday Favorite Feature 20 — “Try,” by Stan Snow
I wrote each song to satisfy the music fan within. After I finished writing each tune, I would ask myself – ‘what do I want to hear now?’…and I would write the next tune based on what I was hearing in my head. — Stan Snow, about, “Into the Great Beyond” Sorry for posting this…
Friday Favorite Feature 19 — “Whole Lotta Rock and Roll” by The Immediate Family
I was sitting with Bon Scott backstage at an AC/DC concert. It was incredible. I was having the best time just talking to Bon when all of a sudden, my dog’s cold nose touched my back and woke me up. I shouted, “Oh no!” and then instantly grabbed my guitar and started writing. The song…
