I had the honor of finally meeting my friend Willy Chirino on December 16, 2022. My cousin bought me a front row ticket for his concert at NJPAC performing arts center in Newark, New Jersey. That night Willy was performing with another popular singer Leoni Torres. Willy and Leoni did a duet remake of Willy’s song “pa’mi Viejo”.

In 1997,Boy George and Culture Club partnered with music television network VH1 to do a reunion tour which was a smashing success all around. At the time VH1 had a concert series called “Storytellers” where bands would perform in an intimate setting for a small group of fans and do what else tell the stories of their careers, how certain songs had come to be, and naturally sing the songs as well. Culture Club did a “Storytellers” and it was great and out of that special came what would be their first live album to my knowledge. I got recorded on a video tape and watched it over and over and over again.

Introduction While researching songs for articles that I share in UK & Irish Folk Music 60s-80s I started thinking of songs by non-folk artists that could be considered folk songs.

Little Sister
I am a huge fan of the South African duo which consists of sisters Jenni Lonmon and Debbi Lonmon. Of course, I'm biased as Jenni took care of my mom for six months and bonded with her, and became best friends with her, and has been the source of much laughter and great times for me.
Rick Henry ChristopherPublished 4 months ago in Beat My favorite albums part one: Selena’s live albums
Selena won her Grammy in 1994 for this wonderful live album that she and her band released and recorded in 1993 appropriately titled “Live”. It’s an album that is chocked full of Selena’s hit at the time that have become classics with time. The album takes the best from every album that the band had recorded from when they signed with EMI Latin at the time to 1993 when the album was recorded. Recording the album where they recorded it was a homecoming because it was Selena y Los Dinos hometown heroes in Corpus Christi Texas at the famous collesium of the city.
