I have been reading James LaFond's work for quite some time on his website and his blog and am forever impressed by his range, his talent and his ability to put far reaching and far ranging diversified subject matter into comprehensive patterns that make sense.

James has lived it and walks the talk. I say Mr. LaFond is a titan among men today. No one should live in this world today without exposure to his work.
From a review of the site it seems that Reuben hosts a handful of music lovers who wish to express their appreciation for the pipers of our machine society.
Below is the most current piece, by James Nolan on Chuck Berry.
