Groan.

This has long been a favorite of mine

I been through Utah. Spectacular sights in that state.

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

So your trip wasn't an Utah failure. (I'm so sorry.)

It was a trip of a lifetime. I was hitch hiking from San Francisco to Kansas City. To view so much wonderful scenery and go by Salt Lake was fabulous, but the topper was to have Salt Lake City burst into view. I would love to visit again as a bona fide tourist one day.

This version of La Bamba begins slowly, in English, then goes to Spanish and dancing.

Joe Turner
Big Joe Turner (born Joseph Vernon Turner Jr., May 18, 1911 – November 24, 1985)[1] was an American blues shouter from Kansas City, Missouri, United States.[2] According to the songwriter Doc Pomus, "Rock and roll would have never happened without him."[2] While he had his greatest fame during the 1950s with his rock and roll recordings, particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll", Turner's career as a performer endured from the 1920s into the 1980s.[2] Turner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, with the Hall lauding him as "the brawny voiced 'Boss of the Blues'".[2]

Wow! What a day I had. Sill hearing those awful noises in my head as a result of the MRI

edgar, I enjoyed all of your songs, and it's always good to have England and his quotes and comments.

Saying good afternoon with three contributions:

My work day is over. I've got a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!



Tony Bennett with B.B. King -- Let The Good Times Roll

Some things do change. Now the heavy industry has moved out, London is not at all foggy.

"London is not at all foggy."

Another illusion shattered!

Good Morning! Happy Friday!

Jennifer Lopez, Love Don't Cost A Thing.

Two inspirations first, Morgan. I remember: "a froggie would a courtin' go, hi ho said Raleigh, wither his mither would have it or no with a roly poly grumly and gritty hi ho said Anthony Raleigh." (think that's right pullman)

Now from Latin George's Sir Elton John.

Hey, my long time friend, Loved Jennifer's Love Don't Cost a Thing

A foggy day

Mark, That was perfect for "the velvet fog". Here's another by "old blue eyes"

Incidentally, y'all, it was a Japanese guy from California who told me that funky meant "tacky on purpose". That's what I was being with all those remarks.

Here is something I have plenty of in my back yard

Coasters

Mark, I got poison ivy when I was young. I've forgotten what my Mamma used to treat it, however.

Good one by the Coasters.

Today is Randolph Scott's birthdday, but I was first introduced to him by The Statler Brothers. My older sister is the one who taught me about them. Just a memory jog:

The Statler Brothers were an American country music, gospel, and backing vocal group for Johnny Cash. The quartet was founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.

Now, a tribute to that cowboy:

Why is cowboy supposed to be a bad name?

When I first heard Joan Baez sing this, I thought it strange that she would do a sympathetic song about the downfall of the Confederacy, but the song is actually about the human suffering caused by war.

Randolph Scott was a good western actor. I always looked forward to his movies.
The Night they Drove old dixie Down was a great song, written and originally recorded by these guys:
