[wpforms id=”3556″] Well since 2015 in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, I started my rebellion against Trump. It actually started many years earlier but  who can cover the last 2 hours much less the last 20 years. I remember my golf buddies so excited to go see Trump’s El Paso announcement for president. I tried […]

Van Morrison has had number 1 hits for 6 decades.  His music is timeless.  He originally started with “them” in the 1950’s.  To me “Its too Late to Stop Now” is his greatest album.  It’s a double album recorded live.  His attention to detail on the album made it amazing.

https://yago.com/music One of the most under-appreciated songs of all time. “South Canadian River Song”. I mean for me to say that is just not me. It’s to presumptuous for me to say something so definitive. It’s also a great album. “South Canadian River Song”, in my mind compares to “Crazy Eyes” by Poco. Michael had […]

Goosecreek Symphony

Ok! What a zen album. For most of the younger folks who are into zen they need to know this bluegrass, rock group from the 70s. Most of you have never heard of them but the opening verse of says it all about life’s perspectives and is one of the greatest lyrics. Almost biblical in […]

One of the best violin solos ever in popular music but know one no's it.

Songs I want my kid to hear. yago is slang for you go (as in where do you go).  It is actually two words:  ya and go. It is a word we use everyday, as in where do ya go, how do ya go, and when do ya go.  We just combined the ya and go […]

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948 A yago.com pick. One of the most overlooked films. A classic! One of our favorite Humphrey Bogart movies. Up there with Casablanca. Who is Tim Holt? All male cast except for a brief scene with a prostitute. This is my number one favorite Humphrey Bogart movie. It’s also one […]
