Song of the Day: Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings:

This was recently written about Ms. Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings:

“She pulls her notes up at the end, like a person endorsing a check for $1 million and then throwing the pen on the floor.”

That’s pretty much all I need to know about a musician to be smitten. I mean honestly. Will that ever be written about you? When I write I check, double check, and then triple check the amount, carefully unclick the pen and put it back in my pen holder. Needless to say, that sentence will never be written about me.

Just watch her video for “Retreat!” from her latest album, “Give the People What They Want” (such a fantastic title.) It includes a strong female lead and a sparkly dress so fabulous that it can repel wolves. Doubly smitten.
