Moondog Jr.??? (Whoever that is)

Alburm: Zita Swoon: Everyday I Wear A Greasy Black Feather On My Hat*

"They played BLUES FOR SAMMY. I really believe it was the first time I heard them play this wonderful song live. Is this song dedicated to Stef's dog? (Cuz it's name is Sammy. The dog's also on the "Thank You"-list of Everyday I Wear...)"

Barbra Streisand on her new "Movie Album":

"The next day, I was in the recording studio recording "Smile" and I have dedicated it to Sammy."

Where is the heart of Robert I (Robert the Bruce, King of Scots) buried?

Where did he wish his heart to be buried?

Quote:
Just before he died (the possible cause was leprosy), in 1329, Bruce asked that his heart should be taken out of his body, and that Sir James Douglas should carry it with him to fight against the Saracens in Spain. Douglas obeyed the king, and the heart was enclosed in a silver casket. Sir James died in battle, and the casket found under his body on the battlefield. The heart was returned to Scotland, where it was buried at Melrose Abbey.

Though, it doesn't say where he "wished it to be buried", only where he wished it to be taken.....

You are correct on that part. He wanted his heart to be buried in the Holy Land. But it's been so long-- i So I'll give it to you so we can revive the game!

Robert I was buried at Dunfermline and, in fulfilment of his dying wish, Sir James Douglas set out to carry his heart to the Holy Land. Sir James was killed fighting the Moors in Granada, in Spain, but the heart was retrieved and brought back to Scotland, to be buried in Melrose Abbey, Roxburghshire.

I have a feeling you're looking for something else, but:

Komodo Dragons of Indonesia

Or:

Sea Dragon found in the ocean around Australia?

I'd buy the A: The Slamdance Festival Pass costs for $350.00 or the $99 Slamdance special to the 2004 Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

Very interesting! But what would you buy (not the tickets or the pass) to make yourself ELIGIBLE to WIN an all expense paid trip to something.

Is that confusing? Buy something (not the trip) then they'll put you in a drawing to win a free trip.
