MS-A-Band

      It’s time to jam with My Odd Sock’s “MS-A-Band.” What’s that? “MS-A-Band” is where we inject, err sorry, I mean infuse, eh no better, I meant add some multiple sclerosis to our favorite bands, singers & musical artists.     A fun, mash-up of music and MS.  A tingly DX of solos …

MS Hall Of Fame

MS Hall Of Fame

An MS Hall of Fame, why didn’t we think of this before?  Oh, that’s right–we probably did, but forgot. Every sport has its own hall of fame to immortalize heroes of the past. Every genre of music also has its own hall of fame to honor the greats. So I’m thinking we need a Hall …
