MAGA won the presidency, the senate, the house, the Supreme Court. The only "checks and balances" left, gifted by the founders, is to "resist" having your voice taken away from you. This is in "everyone's" best interest. There is beautiful and power in art and music. JinglesForDemocracy.com

From my back porch. 6/4/2025 - 7:30 pm. I did it w/wide angle so it looks much smaller. It's the largest rainbow I've
seen in 81 years chasing rainbows. - Cousin Corky Happy Pride!

5/10 Madison. If you don't act now you will miss out on this for the rest of your life. (Of course that's true about everything). So get your tickets to "everything" now. And by the way, tickets to "kindness" are always available and they are free. - Cousin CorkyPhoto: My dad taught me kindness

6 days till my "Love Song to Milwaukee" show at Anodyne Coffee. Hello Milwaukee! The song was inspired by my short jail time in Milwaukee after a Siegel-Schwall concert. LOL! I can't wait to tell the story. - Cousin Corky.

A most beautiful punch line to this story. Laughing genius Ernie Watts is so filled with constant joy that it flashes out at any moment and flowing through his saxophone, carrying everyone with him. I understand why Frank Zappa called Ernie the Grand Wazoo. The Tour: corkymusic.com

Hello Dear corkymusic Cousins.
With a NYE show and so many January concerts and much more I feel really happy that I'm starting out the new year (especially this new year) letting alive living music infuse me with joy and love and strength ... corkymusic.

This is my first post. It took me 81 years to do this if you can believe it. But here I am. I have a lot to say but I will wait to see if I hear from anyone. (That's me with Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser performing my new release Symphonic Blues No. 6.). - Cousin Corky
