The Bronze Buckaroo was not African American
When I first heard about The Bronze Buckaroo, the singing black cowboy, I envisioned someone who looked like Sherrif Bart (Clevon Little) from Blazing Saddles. I thought this individual would be a dark brown African American male but I was wrong. At first glance, I was certain that Herbert Jeffrey was white and I thought to myself "You have got to be kidding." This man was not bronze but what people considered to be "high yellow" which is what I have been called many times. The old saying that one drop of black blood deems a person as black was obviously true.

I’ve never been a fan of Taylor Swift. In fact, I usually cringe whenever her voice graces my ears (especially in retail settings). Lately, her fans have been all over my for you page on TikTok. Most of the videos are about her failed relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal and her song and video for All Too Well. Watching her fans dissect the song and short film, I felt like I was watching an ARG unfold before me. Some fans even dubbed it the Taylor Swift extended universe.

Jide OkonjoPublished 3 years ago in BeatTrumpet players that rock
I learned how to play the trumpet in my teenage years. I believe it leads to my appreciation of all music and its many different genres and styles. Whether it was playing music, listening to it being performed, or even writing about various artists or bands. Music has always had a special place in my heart and could feed into whatever emotion, mood, or experience. The trumpet is the most passionate, spirited, and driven of all the instruments, with an excellent range for reaching out and connecting with all of life's highs and lows. It takes a unique performer to tap into those aspects, and I would even say a great artist at that. We have lived in special and blessed times to have three such trumpet players with such qualities. I have seen all of them in concert and have met one of them after a superior performance. These three artists are Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, and Chris Botti.

It is the job of musicians to put on a good, lively, and energetic performance that will get the crowd moving, dancing, and having a good time. For this to happen, it means the musician has to go all out on stage with the energy, dancing, and movement. That is a lot of adrenaline, and sometimes the adrenaline is too much that it sends the artiste tumbling.

Apologies to anyone who has lost a close loved one, it is a very difficult thing to come to terms with. “Keep Me In Your Heart For A While” is one of the most beautiful , heartbreaking songs that I have ever heard. Warren Zevon , was an enfant terrible , with a wry sense of humour and a string of songs that were darkly funny , well written. Here are some of my favourites:
