    I had a great time with Arnold McCuller last night. He's a prince. Kudos to Roger for setting up the Skype session. I thought it worked well.

    The 30 folks present had a group conversation with Arnold. He didn't have a program, but he was open with his answers and generous with his time. It was nice to see the sincere warmth he felt toward Roger and his mom.

    Here's some Arnold for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6sBYfDBI8

    Isn't it nice to know that some really nice people are successful in the music business? Our speakers this year have been real gems.

    I missed Arnold's first reference. Dustin Miller?

    Asked about his favorite blues singer, he mentioned a new name to me, J.B. Lenoir. Nice to meet you, J.B. Here's a couple of links.

    I'd probably heard Adele, another artist Arnold respects, before, but now I've made a closer acquaintance.

    And here's the Bruno Mars song he mentioned, 'Grenade'.

    Perhaps the highlight of the night was the Song Critiques. Again, we had 10. I'm not bragging, but we're amazing. So many good songs. The DSA is a gem, too.
