Saturday night as I was creating this post I just returned from a family get together, I usually enjoy them but for some reason this one got on my nerves. I needed something to mellow me down. These recordings by Sarah Vaughn did the number.
She has an absolutely beautiful voice.
Enjoy, Jack
thanks, jack. to prolong the mood, let’s take it further down the road with only instrumental

that picture of Binx, the lucky plucky cat, deserves a caption contest
Sara Vaughn is great.
I hate broadcast television. This year is election time for Virginia and we (D.C. region) are (once again) inundated with political ads from the gqp trying to get their far right wing nut job candidates to look and sound like a Dem. As soon as T-Mobile gets the 5G mobile internet in my area running I will sign up for it, including the penalty to dump my current supplier of internet, VOIP, and cable tv.
Were any of the founding fathers really stupid, like gohmert greene and boebert?
Weather has delayed Branson’s flight a wee bit….but CPAC continues as planned.

“South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who will speak Sunday before Trump, mentioned the former president within the first two minutes of her last CPAC speech and has allied herself so closely with him that GOP voters often say they’d like to see her as his No. 2 instead of Mike Pence in 2024.”
“On Sunday, the conference is set to open with two men who just recently addressed a QAnon-affiliated conference: Texas GOP Chair Allen West, who has announced plans to challenge Greg Abbott in the Texas governor’s race, and Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert.“
“During the CPAC conference white cards were circulating among some attendees with a “7-Pt. plan to restore Donald J. Trump in days, not years.”
Expecting huge outbreaks of cofeve as the GQP go back to their caves. Cards with a to-do list to overthrow the government? That should be helpful to the FBI.

Thank you for that lovely bit of blues to start our Sunday
How to make it in the music business: Yesterday I mentioned the band Alabama…….they were 4 guys from Ft Payne, Alabama, who came every summer to work “The Bowery” a beach side giant beer hall in Myrtle Beach, SC. They worked 7 days a week, from noon to 6, and then from 7pm to midnight. The band took no breaks. The guys would take a break one at a time or when one of us might happen by and “sit in” with the band. They went to Nashville and cut a cheap album as “Wild Country” which they endlessly hawked from the stage along with t-shirts and other crap. I don’t remember when their first hit as “Alabama” came out, but prior to that, that’s how they spent all their summers. And nice guys, also.
When it happened, it happened so fast we didn’t have time to think … One day we were in Myrtle Beach, and a few days later we were on Dick Clark‘s American Bandstand. We were scared to death. It was amazing. The next thing you know, you are Group of the Year on nationwide TV.

Pondering the unponderable – will the Washington state volcanoes explode if the heavy snowpack melts?
note to self – maybe it is time to get out of the recliner and look outside to see if the sun is really there and it is not a black helofacopter with a spot light.
Excited to watch Branson and Bezos sub-orbital launches but NASA did this 60 years ago with Alan Shepard
le Tour de France is much more exciting than watching a billionaire burn a few million dollars flying around.

Nobody should ever stay at the Anatole Dallas, again. They allowed that unvaccinated coven into their space.
The Star sent a reporter down to Springfield to find out why people aren’t getting vaccinated, They were doing some man on the street interviewing, when they ask my baby sister her opinion, She had one:
Up side, fewer GQP voters.

Far cry from Myrtle Beach….same guys, same sound.
“Hello Cleveland!”
LoL……..same clothes !
DeSantis won 68% of CPAC dallas straw poll without Trump on the ballot – – with Trump on ballot: Trump 70, DeSantis 21
Well damn…..corn fed irate flag caught me by surprise…,,oh well, it’s what it is.
Pillow Guy Mike Lindell at CPAC Dallas just claimed again Trump will be reinstated in August with 9-0 Supreme Court support, and unveiled new line of pillows with bible verses stitched on them.
I was willing to just live and let live but I’ve just about had it with that bible

So, will the govs of SD and FL duke it out to see who gets to be #2? If Orange Adolf is in jail or on the run and in exile, will they be the GQP sh/+ show for 2024?
Waiting for the death toll from this unvaccinated gathering.

This GQP horror show, Rinaldi, once called ICE on protestors in the TX Capitol building, claiming he thought they were illegal immigrants.
Ah, the poetic irony of racist Italian-Americans
Sarah Vaughn – remarkable voice.
Zoom zoom. Rutan and Branson – good on them. Could he use his money to benefit people more effectively? Of course. Not my place to tell him how to spend his money. Besides, who knows whether he’ll come up with the next Velcro?
And sturge, Alabama? Always liked them as far as countryish music went. A buddy from my kayaking days who was a guitar player grew up with Randy up in the Sand Mountain area and played some with them before they were them. He was a huge Jeff Cook fan, and rightly so.
