I had to Google what a chord organ was
Did only play major chords? Could you use suspended chords and the like?
I'm a guitar player. Weird chords are my jam.

70s Alice Cooper was pretty amazing. I don't think he gets near enough credit for the music he made.

Only people interested in weakening the United States would make such a decision. The real “enemies within” are part of this administration.

I was going to ask but it felt really rude. I've used NGL and you get a fuckload of crush responses. There's an option you have to turn off, team responses or something.

“America First” means:
•$20B to Argentina to screw American farmers
•$38B to Israel for genocide
•$??B to Qatar for new Air Force base in Idaho

Meanwhile—US Service members stand in food lines because Trump’s government shutdown has them furloughed without pay. So much winning!
Are we great yet?🤔

I suggest to you, that most of you have it wrong.

It's not Trump being in the files that's so problematic. It's that it's largely his leverage against a lot of rich/powerful people.
