All Music Is Welcomed, well, it's Bob Dylan's birthday and as I've indicated, I think they make some of his studio work difficult to find at youtube. Live versions don't seem to be a problem.

https://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays/may/28

They must have a database that segregates and disperses this info, surely, "conductor" in this sense, does not mean music. And that is so.

Henry Ritz, part of the comedy act, the Ritz brothers....

Next, T-Bone Walker, Chuck Berry cited T-Bone as one of his influences, "Stormy Monday Blues":
! No longer available

Papa John Creach, "String Jet Rock", famously, played with the Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna and other acts:
! No longer available

Memorial Day: The Story Of A Hero Son, A Dad's Grief And A Hit Song | Opinion
By Lee Habeeb On 5/26/18

I was in my car on Memorial Day back in 2011. I was running errands in the family SUV when I stumbled across a story on the radio. The kind thatâ€™s so good, you stay in the car long after youâ€™ve reached your destination.

It was an interview with the father of a fallen soldier on a show called â€œHere and Now.â€ His name was Paul Monti, and his son Jared was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2006 while trying to save the life of a fellow soldier. Jared receivedâ€”posthumouslyâ€”Americaâ€™s highest honor for heroism: the Medal of Honor.

Monti was being interviewed because he was on a mission. On the Veterans Day after his son was killed, he tried to place a flag near his sonâ€™s grave at National Massachusetts Cemetery on Cape Cod. Officials said he couldnâ€™t. The grave markers were flush with the ground, and flags would make it hard to cut the grass.

Continued at: http://www.newsweek.com/memorial-day-story-hero-son-opinion-944355

It really is worth reading.

. . . and, as for T-Bone Walker, he was far more than just an influence on Chuck Berry: without him, there'd have been no modern electric blues guitar. B.B. King cited him as an influence equal to that of his cousin Bukka White; and there probably isn't a Texas bluesman who followed who didn't (doesn't) owe Walker a musical debt . . .

Wednesday, May 30th, 2018 Music Thread, all music is welcomed, we will see if anyone famous in music was born on this day in history, the Rock and Roll website is down currently, we will go primarily with the other, it looks a bit lean today:

https://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays/may/30

Nicky "Topper" Headon, drummer for the Clash. Anyway, "Safe European Home", probably the first Clash song I ever heard, on a compilation of the new Punk bands, a light bluish vinyl record:
! No longer available
"Straight To Hell", quite an evocative piece by this great band (song has a bit about Vietnam, it's a rather iconic number):
! No longer available
I think he must be 2nd from the left in the below picture:

Fine band despite what are probably some socialist messages in some of their songs. Joey Strummer was pretty left-wing.

Wynonna Judd, the Judds were real big about 20 years ago, "Love Can Build A Bridge":
! No longer available

Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave...pretty radical stuff, I pass but anyone is welcome to post a song by them.

Tim Burgess, the Charlatans, "Only One I Know":
! No longer available
I think there has been more than one group with that name, this seems to be a '90s band from England.

Idina Menzel, "Let It Go", it appears they used some of her songs in the smash movie hit, "Frozen":
! No longer available

Cee-Lo Green, "Brick Road":
