Great bio on Big Wheeler/aka Golden Wheeler on this blog. Turn My Life Around is an incredible record where Jimmy Johnson played gtr, bass, and piano. Curt also talks about "Bone Orchard", the first CD I ever played on back in 92 or something

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
