Linda Chorney<\/i>. Two weeks ago my blog (December 1st) was a copy of my October interview with an amazingly voiced singer, Linda Chorney<\/u>, who was just beginning the process of submitting her album \u2018Emotional Jukebox\u2019 for Grammy nomination consideration. And yes, once again I have not blogged for two weeks allowing extra exposure for my Linda Chorney interview which I consider my finest hour and journalistic achievement since this whole \u2018Woodward and Bernstein\u2019(remember them?) shtick began on\u00a0 July 30, 2011; my first day as a journalist when I covered Old Freehold Day and heard this vibrant feisty singer (of course Linda) do a set before a crowd of people more intent of getting free rides on a hay tractor, back and forth to a suburban New Jersey parking lot. As Humphrey Bogart (Rick) said to Claude Rains (Louis) in \u2018Casablanca\u2019 it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve observed the process as Indie (no major record label) Linda Chorney has suited up with determination, drive, depth and spirit and presented herself to the establishment called Grammy Awards. I\u2019m a visual literary guy: I see Joan of Arc, Althea Gibson (one of my life\u2019s heroes. Go Google if you don\u2019t know her), Annie Oakley, Susan B. Anthony, Marian Anderson, Molly Pitcher (Revolutionary War heroine. There\u2019s a hotel near Linda in Red Bank named after her). You see, I like rugged individualists like Linda Chorney. She went out and used the extant tools to bring her musical message to the Grammy voters.<\/p>\n

$\"Linda$ <\/a>She\u2019s an Indie. I look at her fellow nominees for Best Americana Album, most of them loaded with Grammy awards already. Linda has now been called the darling of the Grammy awards by many reporters and observers because of the fire of determination to bring awareness to her music far from the maddening crowd of big record labels and money. There\u2019s always a Benedict Arnold, a Dathan (played by Edward G. Robinson in \u2018Ten Commandments\u2019) or just another political party on the other side of midnight or an aisle. So I smile sardonically and read the words of some \u2018Bob\u2019 or \u2018Baker\u2019 guy who are upset because they don\u2019t know her music and don\u2019t think she belongs where she is. Then I look at the United Nations and its inability to reach agreement in \u2018Kyoto Protocol\u2019 and I know since the time the Cro Magnons\u2019 played a rendition of soccer right here in Jersey across the street from me, that there will always be towers of babble, ignorance and jealousy as some \u2018Bob\u2019 or \u2018Baker\u2019 non-entities recently demonstrated and restored my faith in the old adage, \u201csome folks never get it.\u201d As I see it, as objectively as I can be, Linda\u2019s music is wonderful, moving and passionate and deserves to be right in front of all of us with Grammy recognition. I do believe George Washington would\u2019ve loved it too, especially her song from \u2018Emotional Jukebox\u2019 called \u2018Cherries.\u2019 George did chop down the cherry tree and was honest about it. That\u2019s what I like about Linda Chorney.<\/p>\n
