Today, in the United States, it’s Martin Luther King Jr. day. A day or remembrance and reflection on a man whose words are as powerful today as the day he spoke them. We celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day on the third Monday which is close to Kings birthday. (January 15)

Below is a mashup, from an earlier post, of King’s famous “Drum Major Speech.” I took the audio from the speech and created a music bed then added a female backing voice:

While touring on the road with the B-52s, “The 88” lead vocalist Keith Slettedahl disovered and downloaded the “four track” app. Collectively as a band they thought they would attempt to record an entire song on the iPhone. Yep, there’s an app for that! Not only is it a great catchy tune, but it sounds fantastic as well!

David Gilmour is arguably one of the greatest guitar players ever.  His guitar playing has helped define his band Pink Floyd. You instantly know when you’re listening to a Gilmour solo. It is utterly impressive with every bend and note of the string.

One word – HOT!  I love the impish grin!

Dear Freddie,
I only wish I knew your friends before they passed. I bet they were fun to hang out with. Cheer up champ. There’s a light at the end of that tunnel… I mean, there’s always hope.

No Mike, THANK YOU for the music! Because the music fills my soul and makes me feel all warm inside. I picture doves floating above my head singing sweet songs. Thanks again Mike!
