 It's free.  All you have to do is to be a Homer Joy fan, and to blog n roll.  Blog n roll is a game I invented that involves me supplying the topics and the tunes, and you joining in with your own comments, links to music, you tube clips and more.  Any questions?

Today on BAKERSFIELD SOUNDoff, I'm featuring two blog 'n' roll questions.  The first is a trivia question.  Who wrote the song, The Streets of Bakersfield?  The second springs from the truism that Bakersfield once spawned a steady stream of country stars, Merle Haggard...

Are you up for the challenge?  Simply answer the question and you will be proven to be up for it.  I usually post a song with my blog thread.  That's why it's called blog n roll. But today, to protest the lack of attention being paid to young, up-and-coming Kern County would-be...

   Homer "Streets of Bakersfield" Joy, paid for the coffee and the over-priced pastries.  Then he and Rockwell of Trout's autographed the cup and gave me one of the best interviews that has ever been delivered to me.   It's all part of the From Buck Owens...

 You might say I'm driving down the right lane, facing traffic with this song, an answer to Merle Haggard's song about Hillary?  What side of the street are you on when it comes to Merle's political views----the side he introduced when he wrote, recorded and released The Fightin' Side...
