These are songs I enjoy.
Some are inspirational I guess, while others inciteful or funny others are just stupid. I enjoy so much music from everyone from all over the world. I wish I could share everything with you that I enjoy. All the Video is at YouTube if you would like to research more. Thank You for hanging out here with me.

Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall. I actually remember this as a rerun in the 1970's or one of the Hall of fame shows he did. Dean Martin the most elegant and rich voice for a male vocal. Women would say his voice was dreamy and even angelic for a man. I think it is. The night Dean did this show live or another one at Kraft Music Hall, he was wasted I mean so drunk the producers said they would ruin his career if he didn't perform. Maybe he sang like he did by marinating his vocal cords. Dean was a horrible drunk. He performed like he was strait so many times he was so drunk at times people thought it was a show. Many do not know this is what actually ended his friendship with many people including Jerry Lewis.

- Comfortably Numb - 2005 Live for the last time together. The greatest band ever. Talent that was driven by Sid Barret. Everyone was so amazing and how they were thinking about music no one did. Free from music was unheard of until Pink Floyd and no one can do it like they can. No one. One of the greatest stage shows for decades The show was so huge they preferred to play outside.
The amazing guy for me here is David Gilmor. IMO greatest guitarist on the planet. Superior even to Eric Caption. No one has ever achieved the Marshall sound Gilmor has created. His sound is undeniable and the feeling he allows to come through the guitar is extraordinary to say the least.
- Tom Sawyer - 1981
The most intelligent genus lyrical writer is Neil Peart. Greatest Drummer who will ever live. Geddy Lee just amazing. The entire band is superb.
Neil Peart is and always will be the most amazing drummer. We may see better in time, but no one will ever go beyond the clarity of rhythm and percussion Neil Peart achieved. I am so serious about this group. Ales Lifeson, Geddy Lee, John Rutsey, Neil Pert. Jeff Jones was an early band member to the group. These 4 guys put out a symphony of music with complicated drum arrangements and adult intelligent lyrics. One of the greats.

I enjoy some Country and Western. The greats are Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. And why I do not enjoy a great deal of country music is due to the fact it is too simple for me. Jazz is more complicated a music than country. I have walked away from a jazz show going OMG the guy on piano or bass or horns was the best in the world. Never a country show I have left thinking for a second OMG best bassist, or piano work in the world or the guy on guitar or drums was 100x better than anyone in Rock. No, sorry never going to happen. And look dance music is simple it is this way so people can dance. Dance is not Country and Western which came from folk. It is to be interesting country is to have interesting vocals that tell a story. Most stories are boring that are being told by country. Pop groups dance and sing with complicated dance moves. The songs are simple but there intended for dance. This is why they are simple.
As long as country fans think Country and Western music are two different forms of music, we are always going to have simple Country and Western songs played simply by musicians. Vocal range and complicated lyrics are not happening. The fan base just cannot handle anything more complicated than listening to either country music or western music and a few horrible alternatives. Country Rock? No, the musicians are not up to par with any rock or jazz musician. I am so sorry we may disagree, but you haven't apparently looked at the sheet music, know what a complex song is or have worked for them. I mean Country Rock, what is it? It is country bass boosted. I just cannot wrap my head around it. Put in Jonny Cash turn up the bass. Look mom, Country Rock! Yeah, that is all it is. Folk music for the exception of people like John Denver can fall into the area of just being the best playing country or playing western music and the best is really boring. I understand country and western is a skill; I wish we could have the ones that came before. They could show you country fans, what a country show used to be like. You guys missed real county and western. IMO
- Crazy -
Released on October 16, 1961, "Crazy" was Patsy Cline's follow-up to her comeback smash "I Fall to Pieces". This Willie Nelson-penned tune would end up becoming Cline's biggest hit and signature song, vaulting to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and to #2 on the Country charts.
What a voice! This is a country western show from our past you would walk away from thinking what a pianist, what a bass player these thoughts would get stuck in your mind. She would have more than just a country western show would have. Wicked Clarity Forums says "Stunning!" However, the American tradition fireplace with a rifle is kind of NRA for the video. Probably the NRA gave money to make the film. I don't know. Just a strange look for this beautiful song. I hope she isn't planning on shooting some guy when she is done.
Fly Me To The Moon, Autumn Leaves, Misty, L.O.V.E.
Good jazz folks there is truly nothing like it. If you really think you hate jazz please give the beautiful Nawinda Sittatikarnvech and her amazing voice a chance. 2 min. is all I ask.

Needless to say, I am old. When I was a few years younger going to house parties or out with younger friends I would blow people away with my music selection. As a young man in school kids would give out mixtapes. No, no ladies you never received a mixtape from a boy unless it was from me. No breaks between and your boy rocking the beat. Or trying too. It was a mixed tape. Girls took my tapes to house parties. oh, almost forgot. Without inviting me. I wouldn't even know about the party. I was a weird kid everyone picked on. I didn't care. These shit sandwiches were never cooler than me. But this would happen where a friend or kid I knew went. He is the one that says, "Hey, Rock-n' Ron" What did you say? "They played a tape you made at Darla's house party Saturday night; you can really mix."
Later started D.J. work out of my garage, as it were, making mixed tapes for sale! For parties.
Here is a mix I did last year at 60. I always wanted to take Tom Tom Club and Mariah Carey and mix them together. I do not have this new stuff where you push a button, and it matches the BPM of the songs. Much like when I was young my equipment is as old as me. You may Underestimate this old guy already so, just in case you may want to hold on to something. There are a few mistakes, but I think it is a good mix for an old sick guy.
See this kid, 6- or 7-years old jamming on his dad's (looked like brand-new equipment he may have had a year) DJ equipment. You can train a chimp how to be a JD today. Insanity. It is all automated. You just have to run a slider back and forth. Big deal. CD's that lock to the other disk scratching made easy with all kinds of extra's these DJ setups all have now. No one counts BPMS anymore. It is maddening. Soon we are entering a point where a DJ will be totally stupid about what he or she is doing with music.
This is old school. The way mixing was done in the 80s. Been working with music since I could walk. Longer than I have had clarity. Seriously. I couldn't live one year without music. I need to create a new mix at LEAST ONE PER YEAR. Just to stay active and happy. I know about a lot of things. Been there done that is your boy Ron.
Never underestimate this old guy.

I think it was 2 years ago I heard this song for the first time. Been listening to Black Pink ever since. I did not know what the group was just by hearing the song. I found the official video and was blown away. There are so many girl groups from everywhere that do this. But these ladies have something going on that is magical.

- God Is A Bullet - Johnette Napolitano amazing soulful singer. One of the best. Concrete Blonde broke up and reformed several times, with Napolitano and Mankey as the only constant members.
- Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) - Officially Concreate blond recorded and performed during 1995–1998. The band has not been active since 2012. Johnette Napolitano Sketchbook album was in 2002, independently released with other records and work up until 2022

I watched Poppy when she was doing cover songs on YouTube. She was fine but never have had a great interest in any performer that is only singing other people's stuff.
Then not long ago I heard V.A.N. and as I enjoy so much music, I really liked the entire arrangement of the song. Finding out it was Bad Omens who is an interesting band but on the boring side for me. This was not their usual lead vocals. Found out it was this, Poppy. Interesting and enjoyable for me. We will see what happens with her branding. This is all I can say.
When the internet first discovered Poppy, they had no idea what to think.

1990 This is not for you. Probably not. Kevin Ogilvie - Canadian Industrial Group. Blew me away. cEvin Key was the drummer precisionist. Unreal is all I can say to see him live. I have seen dozens of drummers. Neil Peart the total deity of drumming. But cEvin Key was something to see back in the day; clean drummer never speeds up or slows down. Steady all the way through the show. Like listening to a studio album cEvin has an Insane kit 22 pieces or something? Skinny Puppy isn't for everyone, much like Wicked Clarity Forums.
- Thieves -
A song I would carry on my later studies at churches etc. Every time I left any congregation or personal study this was playing in the car for the ride home. I am not joking. Always wanted to bust this out in some church so many times. Normally churches I was leaving of course, not because of what I was hearing but what I was seeing before and after church. Or seeing from a study that just told me they are understanding love, and it isn't happening, and they know it.

Greatest metal band that ever walked. People do not get Iron Maiden. I suppose you must be thinking on a higher vibration or something. I do not know.
Ron Rebel Mathews, Terry Rance, Dave Sullivan, and Paul Day. These guys are all beasts of musicians. My word Paul's voice is operatic and pure rock. How do you get that sound from your voice? He sounds as if his calling was opera not metal. Look at Ron's drum kit! Where is Ron? 30 pieces? It is like watching Neil Peart live. You do not see them you hear them they are the thunder behind the base. What an amazing team of players. The chemistry is magic. And the greatest "Album Artwork" ever seen.

2001 Maynard James Keenin - Tools Lead singer and writer for the band. Mind altering lyrics and visuals so disturbing I wondered if I should put this video or any video or song from Tool. It is I think the hardest group on Wicked Clarity Forums music page, or anywhere and I mean the hardest playing group in 2000. I would put these guys up against bands like Metalica, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. For endurance and clean driving rock - metal - alternative rock sound that these guys clearly have. To see this band live is a feeling that something is going to happen. Not what I would call a massive live show production but very awesome. Sound & Lighting was amazing. Don't get me wrong. A massive production to me is Prince and any of the Jacksons, Pink Floyd. These groups had massive stage shows requiring 16 or more semi-trucks to haul the show around.

2013 This is very old but every time I see this ... speechless. It's the school of rock! This song is so complicated. I knew groups that would have trouble with every break and change. 2 month practice and it still wouldn't be right. This is no joke song. The complication is insane and then these young adults say, "Hey let's make it even more compilated by adding more instruments," Lead singer so amazing has much vocal growth yet. Wanted her to shred and scream hit the "MY SHADOW!" She was playing it safe. Love to see where her voice is today. Still amazing. The little guy is so cute. "We need more cow bell" It was too cute. If you didn't get the joke, it is okay. The percussion had to have been absolute hell to learn. MY GOODNESS! I totally wanted the drummer to throw his sticks at the end. MY GOD!
