Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Johnny Cymbal and the boys performing Mr. Bass Man, with Ronnie Bright (from The Valentines) on bass, in 1963 (2:39). Johnny was born in Scotland, he was adopted by Nikolas Cymbal (who was a Polish national and a member of the Free Polish Forces stationed in Scotland during World War II), they emigrated to Canada, and then Johnny moved to Cleveland, where he first worked with Sid Lawrence at the age of 13. And the rest, as they say, is history.

For some reason, conservative women like Sarah Palin, Kate, Kathy Shaidle, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and many others – and even Democrats like Camille Paglia – are more likely than the men-folk to step to the front lines, and less likely to waffle and beat around the bush and pointlessly split hairs when important issues are being addressed.
Welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, in tribute to the women who continue to change the terms of the debate, we present a song about a strong woman who takes control of her own life by changing – to an invigoratingly epic degree – that which needs to be changed. Here’s Lucinda Williams in a live performance of Changed The Locks. Turn it up.
