"Turn On Your Love Light" is a #rhythmAndBlues song recorded by #BobbyBland in 1961. It was an important #RAndB and pop chart hit for Bland and has become one of his most identifiable songs. A variety of artists have recorded it, including #Them and the #GratefulDead.

I had the pleasure of meeting him last year. Just an ordinary average guy. Super nice.

I’ve seen more live music in the last 3 weeks than I have literally seen in the last 10 years. Loved every minute of it.

#Commanders fans may recall that the last time the team played in Europe, they ended up in a tie against The Bengala after missing a chip shot field goal that would have won the game.

I'll say it for the second time today. Nice defensive stand by the #Commanders.
November 16, 2025 at 5:24 PM
Missed FG, failure to score on multiple attempts from the goal line, and now a fumbled punt. Several key penalties too. The #Commanders are self destructing today. Oh, they also blew a TO in the 3rd.

Very nice defensive stand by the #Commanders.

Bananas are the best value in fruit. Yet I still don't like to waste them. This time I chose to make a banana walnut bread. I would have added chocolate chips if I had them!
