Big Top by Rob Harrell for November 20, 2009

Good Morning Tribe!

I just got home from pool.

My, my I see we have been yapping alot. Well YELLING alot anyhow!

Hi Dry!

We have a nice buffet set up this morning for breakfast, so pass through the line and help yourselves. Poached eggs on toast Canadian Bacon Scrapple French toast with blueberry syrup Yogurt with a wide selection of fresh fruits to mix in with the yogurt Western omlets S h i t on the shingles Fresh fruit salad Peanut butter toast to dip in your coffee (HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE?) Assorted teas and coffee NO NUCLEAR COFFEE TONIGHT, THE WEATHER FORECAST IS BAD, AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS BLAMING IT ON A DISTURBANCE SOMEWHERE NEAR COLORADO!

Hi Terry! Don’t you get dragged into that bickering. Dry, gets out every so often, but JFri pulls her back in. :-P

Well, I’d best let everyone go ahead of me, my appetite would make short work of this delectable spread.

Hello Johnny

I’ll try not to! LOL

Johnny, Eat hearty boy, for school tmr.

Yea, JFri pulls me back in, but its so much fun to bicker with him!

I already have the nuclear coffee here and man do I need it!

Hello JFri & Dry

Johnny, you need to go first, you need a good meal in your stomach!

Dusty, table scraps? You poodle you!

Nothing much going on here. Off to my toonland merry-go-round!

Well, maybe just a little of everything… with a extra helping of Canadian bacon… Tasty, thank you Dry.

I just got back from a brief toon tour, but now it is time for bed. Good night all, and Peace and Love!

Good Night Johnny

Sleep well bud!

Morning Tribe!

Good Morning JP Steve!

Good morning, Terry. How was your pool game?

Goodnight Johnny!

Good morning JP Steve!

This cook is going to bed! Goodnight all! Sweet dreams!

Good Morning Dry, JFri, Terry, Johnny and Steve!

LOLS @ Dusty. Verna’s got him on a short leash!!

Oops, Goodnight Johnny!

Brunch looks great, Dry! I still don’t have the courage to try the scrapple, but I’ll have the poached eggs, some french toast, some fresh fruit, and Irish breakfast tea.

Good Morning Marg! Good Night Dry, thanks for breakfast. I had the poached eggs on toast, they were delicious!

Marg

Pool went well. I won, but just barely. Thank you for asking.

Good Morning Carmy

Good night Owls; Good morning Larks. Happy Friday !!Tribe!!!

Hey Johnny I am only 2.5 pts behind you in total points. I didn’t realize I was that close and eveidently neither did someone else!

Good Morning Bargrove!

Well I am calling it a night! Enough of their games for me. I need to hit the horizontal position anyhow!

Good night Carmy, Bargrove, JP Steve & Dear Marg!

Good Night All

As Cleopatra said, “I’m not prone to argue.”

And Goodnight ALL!

Goodnight Marg, Terry, Bargrove and ALL!

Here in reality it’s 3:30 AM, time to consider the safety issues involved in waking the wife and asking for breakfast. My coffee pot is still electric as the NRC hasn’t approved nuclear here yet.

(And still the Local Purveyor of CocoMocha is ignored…)

Doctor Toon, I answered your question about Nuclear Coffee and CocoMocha on page 2 of yesterday’s thread. You have been warned.

:))

Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!! Dry thanks for breakfast. Good to see the early tribemates of mopar and Johanan (though you may be left over from last night)

Good morning everyone!

Good Friday Morning All

Good Morning Akenta, Mopar, Dcguys, Lewreader, Johanan and any others I might have missed!

Good Morning all. I too am a sucker for a lady with good table scraps

Good Morning Cleo

How are you this fine morning?

Oh Carmy, I just looked at One Big Happy! That’s too much! ROFLMTO!!!

Terry - I am good. Congratulations on your victory in your game of pool.

Thank You Cleo

I’m on a hot streak in both 8 & 9 ball league but I’m worried they are going to raise my skill level!

Mornin’ All

Dusty couldn’t help it - Verna had bacon in a reclosable package…

Terry, is it a mixed league? Are you playing both men and women?

Good Morning Doc. I understand, it can’t be fun hanging out with a bunch of vegetables.

Good Morning DFrog & Doc!

Yes Cleo, it is a mixed league. You’re rated in 8 ball 2 through 7 and in 9 ball 1 through 9. If a 5 plays a 6 you drop one and the 6 needs 5 wins before the 5 gets 4 wins(5 to 4 race). Right now I am a 6 in 8ball and a 7 in 9ball.

Poor Doc in produce………….lettuce have a moment of silence in his honor!! LOL

Oh, just “baggo lettuce? Sorry Doc, my bag!

I need to go pick up that vehicle from yesterday and take it to the Emissions Test Facility. Be back later.

So let me get this straight Doc. You would I guess be the ultimate carnivore then. Right?

If your girlfriend were a vegetarian then you two combined would be a well balanced meal. LOL

Good Morning all! I might need a new mattress or something, you’d think that 8 hours of sleep would be sufficient. Cleo, a big LOL for the well balanced meal!

Good morning all! Our local paper has started the Shopping Days Left to Christmas countdown. They used to wait unit after Thanksgiving! Gag me with a spoon! Disgusting!

Good morning Dry and Doc!

Cleo, left you a message at Pickles!

johnny, you must be one daper young gentleman!

Off to class, bbl.

Back from the Emissions test. Passed!

Good Morning Johnny! See you after class!

I’m off to pick up some Korean Cuisine for lunch.

Doc

I’ll see you later sir!

Have a good rest!

Over at Pearls before Swine, they are playing a familiar game…

Doc i never seem to chat with yuo anymore. you running out as im running in no fun. ’

so i am home and had a huge scar today. like huge huge huge. the teacher walks in and tells us to hand in our essays. he forgot he had not talked about it yet and that none of us have them done. lol funny right. yea will im on chapter 3 of this book that is the worst book in all the world and the essay is due wend. great. so i have to get off and go do that. read read read read and pray i remember something and pass this essay. oh God help me now

Hello Tabby!

Good luck with the book!

Anybody else here?

A big howdy to johnnyd,Dry & Tabby. I just realized that if you would pair **Doc & Dry together then you would have a drydoc. LOL

Hello?

Terry the Korean food sounds good. What do you get?

Good one, Cleo but the landlubbers may not get it…

Hello Terry, Cleo, and Dawn!

Dry, I checked out your Pickles comment. You know me so well. LOL

Dawn - Nice seeing your face around again. Where have you been?

Hi Tabby Some parents in Alberta made a pact with the school board that their kids wouldn’t have homework. Say there’s no time for anything else. Can you imagine their kids when they get to college?

Hi JDoc. I’m still concerned that you are tired.

Your University has a medical clinic!

Cleo We’ve been really busy in RL these days. Company. friends to visit, and now the beginning of Christmas shopping. I miss getting on BT and I hardly ever do the ‘toon tour. ;>(

Well Dawn it is good to see you when you are able to make it. Right now RL is calling me I have got to go make a chili adobo sauce. Company is coming for Mexican food tonight. BBL

I’m fine, Dawn, I’m not too tired now, and I definitely won’t be tonight.

Sounds delicious, Cleo Where do you get your recipes?

JDoc I forgot this is Friday - ah yes youth and a weekend. Have a great time but stay safe.

Holy Cow!

I thought nobody was on!

Hi Dawn

Today I got Curry Chicken and Yaki Mandu!

Are you done with classes Johnny?

I’ll be off for a little while. BBS

Yes Terry, I am done for the week.

@cleo, if we could get Dry to tend the bar, we could all have Dry martinis, or Vodka Drys, or even Canada Dry …

bmonk or a Dry Manhatten, or a Dry Lemonade, or a Dry Rob Roy!

Hi johnny I’ll bet your glad classes are over for the week, and then you get a big break. How many days for Thanksgiving vacation?

I get a five day weekend, but outside of one exam, the class load on Monday and Tuesday are fairly lax.

Such dry humor.

Hello Celecca!

How are you doing?

And she could sing “How Dry I am”.

@celecca, what can we say? Dry and JFri have table scraps–they fight over who will be serving who on the table for thanksgiving–and like Dusty, we’re lost…

“Ok, I am half way through chapter 11. Who knew there was this much to know about the respiratory system?”

Ok, take deep breaths…

Dawn - I get a lot out of a stack of cookbooks that merged when my wife and I added our own collections. My wife and I have two different styles of cooking. She generally follows recipes, but makes notations in the book as to her feeling about the dish (Very good, don’t bother, or needs more garlic, etc.) I tend to use cookbooks as inspiration, but may change things around at will. Today the ancho chili paste is out of a Rick Bayless cookbook. I am about to make salsa, which I do following my own ideas.

Salsa time anybody wanna dance. BBL

Hardee Har Har, bmonk! I still haven’t finished that blasted chapter yet. Only two more questions. Then chapter twelve. I’ll be back sooner or later.

Lonewolf!

Doing well, but will be even better when tomorrow ends.

You?

Celecca

I’m doing good at the moment.

What’s up tomorrow?

Very funny BMonk! You had me gasping for air!

Lonewolf - 1)I’m a vendor at a crafts bazaar. Last year, I barely sold anything. This year? I diversified, and made less jewelry and more ornaments and vessels/stash boxes. I hope that my offerings are different enough (everyone is making and selling jewelry - at least a third are offering it this year) that people will buy! 2) I am NOT a morning person and the bazaar begins at 8 am. Even Doc’s coffee wouldn’t help. So it will be a relief to get home dump my boxes in a corner, and curl up in my comfy chair.

Whatever I make at this sale goes towards medical needs and overdue bills.

I’m tired, crafted out, and I’m really hating the crankiness of my reply.

So - I’m fine!

bmonk - Dry and JFri “ort” to continue. I’m always in the mood for crumby humor.

Yes, in case the edited version hasn’t come through, I forgot the “r”.

Celecca: Tell us about your crafts for sale. You have quite and audience in the Tribe. We just might buy something.!!

@celecca, I always appreciate a tiny bite of humor, or even a pun…

Celecca

My “significant half” does crafts as well. She specializes in quilts but comes up with “crafty” ideas too! She does it more for the enjoyment than for profit. Kind of takes the stress out of it I guess.

BMonk

I can tell you appreciate small humor! :-D

Cleo

I like the Little General! I thought that’s what you had said at an earlier date.

Bargrove - I make jewelry - what I like rather than the currrent trend - which features hand made polymer beads, highly polished, and I try to make the beads as unique as possible. I also make hand-knotted “Lutheran” prayer rosaries, traditional rosaries, prayer crosses (each is unique and never repeated), decorative boxes and ring storage vessels. I’ve added hand-painted plaster ornaments, wooden cut-work boxes, and glass ornaments. Nothing fancy - just adding color or gold leaf to someone else’s product.

I thank you, but unless anyone in the Tribe is in Irmo, SC (home of the Okra Festival - not kidding) between 8:30 - 1:30 pm tomorrow), you’re probably out of luck. I don’t have a whole lot of time to do other bazaars, and most of my product (ornaments aside) needs to be seen and felt in RL to be appreciated.

I’m proud of my work, but it’s definitely local.

Lonewolf - I do this for enjoyment, and as I tell others, it keeps me off the street and out of trouble! I only tried selling it about five years ago. I was blown away that anyone liked, let alone bought my stuff Now, we’ve come to appreciate thesmall income it brings in, but if I did anymore, with the sole reason of making money, it wouldn’t be fun anymore.

Last year, the small income was almost non-existent. That’s why I’m worried.

We both work two part time jobs, and we have no health insurance and very little disposable income.

Cleo - your cooking sounds divine! Have fun tonight and enjoy a margarita for me.

Celecca

I hear you. It’s rough all over. I’m lucky I have the VA for my medical. It doesn’t cover all but it does the majority. Wolfangil works at a hospital and has insurance, though it is pricey!

Where did you go Cleo?

BTW

You’re you’re

welcome, welcome,

Johnny Johnny!

back.

want to here something scary????

Dad is watching Oprah.

@Tabby, he won’t have much longer to see it–unless they syndicate it as reruns…

Terry - Of course, thank you for reminding me. LG* is who she is. I am immediately going back and expunging my last comment. *Little General fits her to a T. Thanks buddy.

Haha, you can’t pin that on me, you had the double post there, Terry!

I have finished my work for the present. *LG* is at work. I can sit down for awhile and do nothing.

wow i would hate to be those children when they get to college.

@ Lewreader Use the pipeline for Nuclear coffee.

hi shika*

hows it going

Johnny, I know, I figured it out! LOL

Reminds me of an uncle of mine who married–both were English Profs. Their house is utterly, absolutely full to the gills with books, often duplicated–since neither one was willing to give up the copy with their notes in it…

Good Afternoon/Evening Tabby & Shika!

You’re welcome Cleo.

so whats funny is that he tells me i can house sit and then he tells me “but you have to come home every night for supper” how anoying is that???? grrrr i want to be free free free!!

will be leaving to go to moms house at about 5:50 or so.

Easy Tabby Girl! You’re gonna be 50 before you’re 30!

terry lol im in so much pain since the weather keeps changing i told them all last night. that if i keep getting hurt and in so much pain when the weather changes i wont make it to 20.

P.S. ill be 20 in feb.

I also noted that you were a mere couple of points behind me. As I predicted, you will be the champion.

well my time has been cut short. very short. like leaving in 15 mins short, depends on how fast they drive.

Tabby hang in there because that is your only choice.

bmonk - We have a couple of friends who are math professors. They have almost every wall in their house lined with books, plus books in boxes.

Bye Tabby !

Have a good weekend.

Hi cleo, Terry, johnny!

How is everybody?

Johnny

Lot’s of time left yet, my friend!

Have a good weekend (((((Tabby Lynn!)))))

It’s Friday Shika!

I made it another week! WhooHoo!!

thanks guys!

okay im outta here. wish me luck bye bye tribe.

PEACE AND LOVE TRIBE

Funny, I make it to Friday, but my work is not done.

Good luck Tabby, and have a good weekend!

Oh I am never done Shika.

But I’m around to continue another week. With His “hep” of course! LOL

You are aware that when I get to those gates, Old St Peter is gonna holler ”ya’all hop in the bed of the pickup, we’re goin’ up to the Big House!”

Howdy shika. NIce to see you. Do you have homework or work at home?

Yeah! I’ll be at the big house tomorrow! Watching the team I hate most pummel my beloved Wolverines for the sixth year in a row. :(

Both cleo House work takes a back seat to homework around here. I am writing my second paper for today.

Could you send me some food cleo? I amy not have time to cook!

It’s been nice to stop for a sec. I’ll try to pop in again.

Party hearty Tribe. I know you will anyways.

An order of Mexican food has been sent your way shika.

Johnnydoc5 - tomorrow can’t be the Big Game with those scarlet and grey buckeyes, can it?

I had Mexican just last night–belated birthday dinner. Shrimp Enchiladas. Yummy!

I can e-send them, if you’d like, Shika.

Shika here! Thanks cleo You are a lifesaver.

BBML!

It might be a game, it might be a massacre.

Good Evening Mopar

What’s shakin’ Bro’?

I would love for this to be the year, but it won’t be. In this rivalry, you kick the other guys when they’re down, and boy are we down!

Hey MoPar, give her a kiss for me.

Hello Doc!

I hear you Doc

It is slow tonight.

Off to dinner folks. BBS

hey Doc

The sun has sunk below the yardarm and it is OFFICIALLY rum & Coke time!!!!!

JFri, I’m in! Break out that there rum and coke, sir! And I have been thirsty for a Mojito, so I’ll supply those! And a nice relish tray, can’t drink on an empty stomach!

JFri my sun sunk about 3 hours ago!

HAVE I MENTIONED LATELY, I HATE WINTER! LOL!

Almost rum and coke time here, getting a late start…

Have a good night Doc! Dry, the sun is a rarity this time of year, isn’t it?

Gee Doc do I HAVE TO BEHAVE? That’s no fun at all!

Hey Johnny, actually, we’ve had more sunny days so far for Nov. than cloudy ones, but when it rains,( I love rain), but the clouds hang so low in the sky, it gets depressing! It just gets so foggy! We actually had a thunderstorm last night! Made me miss summer even more!

Where did that turd bird get to? I still have that basting sauce waiting! The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!

Johnny, rum and coke? The preferred beverage of college students!

Snuck up behind you, Dry and left your rum & Coke!!

I’m baaaaaaack! Ha-ha! Where did everybody go?

@Dry, there is one theory that you need not behave–as long as you don’t get caught.

Caught in time, that is.

That’s because it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission…

Ribs on the barbie in a rain storm!!! Dedicated griller!!

@JFri, that’s ‘cause you can dodge between the raindrops and lightning!

I’m in JFri! What basting sauce are you using on the ribs? I hope you have something HOT and SPICY! You know I love my jalapenos!

Gotta go–Dry, I said, that’s a theory.

Note that I did not say a good theory!

I’ve got Jack & coke. Rum is too sweet tonight. Besides I had enough last night after pool celebrating.

Dry, alcohol is the preferred beverage of college students, but that is what I have.

Hi bmonk, don’t you know by now, I never get caught! (usually, LOL!)

Adios Doc!

See you on the flip side!

Terry, I thought you left for the night!

Now that sounds more like the college students I remember, Johnny!

No, I said I was going to eat dinner and BBS.

Johnny Party hearty, but use common sense! (Yes Tribal mom, I will!)

You don’t really drink that much, do you Johnny?

Is that my line?

On Sundays through Wednesdays, I don’t touch the stuff. Thursdays are wild cards. On the weekend, I have been known to indulge in a drink or two.

NO!!! I’m using a nice Jack Daniels bbq sauce!!

Come again?

That works for me JFri! I use that on my flat iron steaks and they are SO tender! I’ll just add a side dish of jalapenos for little ole me!

Who comes again?

Johnny, I was wondering who JFri said “No!!!!” to.

johnny, I have no idea!

johnny, I guess our posts overlapped! JFri was telling me what BBQ sauce he was using. And I am starving, haven’t eaten all day! Except for a couple of carrots! LOL!

Dry, I may not be a doctor yet, but I here that food is good for you.

give me a mojito quick. My company should be here soon.

WOW, is it ever raining now!! RIbs are served!! Another rum & Coke??

Here, cleo!!!

johnny, FOOD is good for you! Even if it’s just salt and vinegar chips, or Stouffers Cheddar Baked Potatoes, or the stuff you really should eat, like red and green veggies and fruit! :-D

Hey Cleo

Have fun with your “get together”

I have someone over for a few ticks and I am explaining all of you guys (and girls) to him. He is laughing his arse off when I explain some of you!!

getting nervous, Cleo? Here’s your mojito, hope it’s to your liking! My house and food could be ABSOLUTELY perfect, and I still get nervous! Don’t know why!

JFri it is pouring here as well. It won’t matter soon considering I am drinking silver Patron neat and mojitos with you guys and gals. I am really looking forward to tonights dinner. Yum

Hey JFri the ribs are perfect! Where’s my baked potato?

Johnny

Man, did I mess up by not getting Ricky Williams in my lineup on time! I wasn’t even thinking about him playing on Thursday when I picked him off waivers!!

Wow! Two mojitos and you better believe I will drink them both.

Terry, you’d have a hard time explaining us!

Bakers coming out of the microwave now! Hot, hot, hot!!!!

Oh yeah Dry, that’s for sure. I have to be careful, he’s spitting Jack & coke all over!!

Cleo Do you have some of your salsa left? I bought some blue chip tortilla chips at the store today that I think would go perfect with your salsa!

Whoa, Dry, that baker landed in an awkward spot!!! Let me blow on that for you! My bad!!

No worry, it didn’t damage anything! But do you have some butter and sour cream? That’s how I like my “bakers”! Thank you kind sir!

Alrighty, I am stepping out for the evening. bbl, peace and love if it is really late.

WRT Ricky: Terry, lucky you.

Good Music

Well, OF COURSE I have butter & sour cream!!

Have fun johnny! I remember the days!

And Palamalu has been ruled out this week AND maybe next week as well! Nice……………………………….

And chives?

Dry I have sent a container of salsa your way darling.

Have fun Johnny!

Catch you later man!

Dry- And it is gooooooooooooooooood!.

Sigh…….(chop chop chop chop chop chop) here ya go! Chives.

And Cowboy

Love this one!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6VXicZIQg

Thank you JFri! You know I love chives!

Cleo, you must give me your recipe, if it’s not a secret! DELICIOUS!

Perfect ribs and perfect “bakers”! What more could a girl ask for?

(Ice cream for dessert? No, that would be too much to ask for!)

no, THIS is good music!! Very obscure for this group!

That is a good one JFri. Too bad songs were so short back then!

Just pulled the home made ice cream out of the ice, Dry!!!

My company has left. Now James is asking about you all! Ha-ha. This could get tough using PG language!! LOL

JFri, I loved the Beach Boys! Had a big poster in my room of them! And the ice cream is delicious, BTW!

You want LONGER songs?

Terry some of my favorite songs were short!

Or this?

JFri That’s a great loooooonnng song!

Dry

Some of mine were short also. But they would have been just as good if they were longer.

Bummer, don’t know why it’s not playing!

Yes, that’s a great song! The full length version of Layla is just a bit shorter!

That’s another good one JFri.

I’ll give 2 to1 odds it is cut off at the end being you’re only allowed 10 minutes through youtube!

It stopped at 17 seconds.

I just tried it again and it is working.

JFri it’s working for me!

That song sure does bring back memories! Slightly blurry, but memories none the less.

Here’s a gut splitter!

Yeah that’s a LOONG one! Puts Layla to shame! But I loved Layla!

Now how did they get 18 minutes when youtube rules state 10 minute limit? That’s why you see part1, part2, etc.

Here’s one that is a particular blast from my past, especially the mention of Nassau!

These are ones I listened to as a kid when my brother was here. I can picture him plain as day. Good, no………Great memories!!!

He loved the Beach Boys!

Alice’s Restaurant is sooooo funny!

Oh gee! I remember listening to that, and a bunch of other Beach Boy songs, in the summer in the back yard when me and the kids in the neighborhood were toasting marshmallows!

How about some obscure Jan & Dean?

JFri, That duo was another one of his and my favorites.

this was one of his favorites.

And oddly enough, that is EXACTLY where Jan Berry had his accident!

Roger that Kemosabe!

How about this one?

Listen to this and then this. Coincidence? NOPE!!

Great song!!

Well not exactly, but close by.

Anyone remember “Surfing with the Astronauts?” My son actually downloaded the album for me.

DRY?????

Dawn

I don’t think I know that album. ???

JFri, Dry was looking for some of her favs. Like this one!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2vMp0kJHyo

JFri

By coincidence, do you mean as in copying styles to compete?

And this one!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YilMQTS7uA

This was a great song but I can’t find the Beach Boys’ version on You Tube. Theirs was the best version, IMHO.

Hi Dawn!

The Astronauts were before the BeachBoys and had some great sounds. i can’t find “Surfing” on Youtube but had an old LP - those were the days. My son eventually found it somewhere but if you look up the Astonauts you do find some of their sounds.

Then there were the Trashmen

This is my favorite from them Dry.

And this one, and then I’ll stop, I promise, although there are many more!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-idDbIfGvw

**Good ones, Dry!! How about this

Here is the live version off the Beach Boys album, JFri. Let’s go Trippin’

Dawn

Now I vaguely remember by the album cover! LOL

Yeah, Terry. They actually recorded at the same studio and Sidewalk Surfin’ was an intentional ripoff of Catch A Wave.

Terry, everything the Righteous Brothers did was great. They sure were good! And now I feel old!

Dry -

Dry

Why stop, they’re fantastic songs!

I’ve found that one, Terry but the studio version is soooo much better!

JFri That is one of my favs! In fact, I have that one downloaded! I should download them all or buy a CD!*

My brother-in-law has everything they ever put out - and in all formats. We still have some of the LPs as well as CDs

Don’t say that Dry! You should feel just the opposite!

Dawn, are we all old farts or what! LOL!

Dawn, I am that way with the Beach Boys……everything they ever did in vinyl, tape & CD!!

And 8 track?

Actually we skipped 8track and went to cassettes.

HA ha ha

Not everything in 8 track, but a lot. And I have a WORKING component stereo with 8 track player!!

I actually have an 8 track player to put in my hemi ‘Cuda some day when I’m all rich & famous!!

I have two console stereos with 8 Track & Record Player. And I have 2 –8 Track players for cars. One plays cassettes or 8 Tracks!

We still use our turntable at times! have a very good cartridge and the vinyl sounds like cds

Funny thing is, I had all these LP albums, ELO, Dylan, Quincy Jones, Kansas, Eagles, BB, etc. and my oldest son laid claim to them AND the turntable! Seems todays youth are into those old hits and groups. And then he went through my mom and dad’s albums and took some of the old albums my mom had, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Good music never goes out of date, it just recylces!

You are so right - both my boys have collections of the “old time” music and enjoy it - on their mp3 players and cd players (say the sound is much better than mp3 and FLAC.)

I Still have all my old vinyl and I have a Kyocera component system with custom built speakers using 10 gauge wire, complete with turntable, CD player and dual tape deck!!

What is FLAC?

Ancient music!!

I have a Harmon Kardon component system packed away with a similar setup.

FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec A free, open source codec for lossless audio compression and decompression Supposedly better than mp3 but still not as good as cd My husband made KEF speakers and we have a Quad (British) system - wonderful sound.

How about some Buddy Holly,

There seem to be a few audiophiles on this site…

The title of that song came from a catch phrase from an old John Wayne move……The Searchers, I believe.

Dawn, I used to know a guy with Klipsch Horn speakers!! The BIG ones!!

Dawn, you getting that driving rain up your way, too?

JFri, I’m here! Didn’t Buddy Holly die in a plane crash? That song was prophetic, maybe?

Yes, Dry, in Clear Lake, Iowa. I have been there and seen the corn field he crashed in, along with Richie Valens and The Big Bopper!

La Bamba

And I saw Elvis in Fayetteville NC back in the day! Great concert! And I was never an Elvis groupie, liked him, but not a “Hanger On”, but I do remember the day he died! My neighbor and I were heading over to each others house at the same time to tell each other, and met in our backyards!

Yes, JFri, we’ve had more rain this month than I’ve ever seen. The creek behind our house is a full sized roaring river. A massive log has finally been dislodged. It has been there for twenty years! Scary!!! Luckily we are high. The town of Duncan - not far from here has had a large area evacuated because of flooding.

**Anybody remember ?

Stay safe, Dawn!!

Yes!

How about DC5 ?

Thanks JFri we will, the good Lord willing. The yes was for “a little bit closer.”

JFri, remember what, LaBamba? My cousin and I used to dance around our respective houses to that song! Now, go on, make a comment, snicker or snort or snerk! :-D But we had FUN!

Cool, Dry!

Or this catchy one .

Terry, good call on DC5!! Dry, click the ? It was for Jay & The Americans!

How about?

Catchy?, Terry, I hope that was sarcasm! When I was a kid, I liked it, now it has that same irritating sound to me like “Tiptoe through the Tulips!” LOL!

Terry, here’s another from them!

Thanks JFri! Most people, including our parents, thought we were NUTS!!*

Weren’t we, Dry??

Well, folks, New Tricks is coming on so

Thanks for all the memories!

Woo hoo! Friday Night Jam! California Sun

Bye, Dawn!!

*JFri, OF COURSE WE WERE! That’s why you and I get along so well! * (And I caught the Jay and Americans links! GREAT STUFF! Oh to be young again, but he!! if I still feel young what the F!, Right?)

You saw my post, huh? LOL!

Right on, Dry!! That’s why I do all the things I do…..to stay young!!

JFri, I know!

Just good song after good song you two!

Right on DRY

Bye-bye Dawn.

Carmy, I wonder if I still have my Annette books, they may have been before your time. That was back in like ‘63 ‘64,? Somewhere thereabouts, the time of the beach party movies.

Which post?

Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon!!!! Ha-ha!!

Wave on Wave This is a fellow Texan. I think this is his only “hit.” I think it’s kinda of catchy. Be warned, there is a commercial before the video starts!

**Speaking of ‘64!!

Terry, if you haven’t seen the movie ”Back to the Beach” you should see it sometime. This is the movie that has Dick Dale and SRV jamming on Pipeline.

Oh, yeah, Carmy!!! I remember that!!

Another 60s classic!

Carmy, I don’t think I’ve seen that one.

Good one!!

Carmy, That was with Annette and Frankie?

Carmy Never heard that one. Bookmarked it! LOVE IT! Thanks!

Dry, I was about 2 or 3 at that time. I did have older siblings that were 12, 11 and 9 years older than me. I was exposed to all the cool music through them. We had a backyard shed in the house we lived in before we moved to the house that my Mom still lives in. Anyway, we had a “Club.” One of my brothers was the president and our Club song was, “I want to hold your foot.” My bro changed up the words. He used to make us sing it, LMBO!!

Something 80’s?

Terry, yes, Back to the Beach stars Frankie and Annette, but there are a lot of “stars” in that movie.

Dry, good one, haven’t heard that one in a long time.

Boy do I remember that one Dry!

Carmy I probably saw every Annette & Frankie movie along with every Elvis movie made in the 60’s. My brother was 6 years older than me and my sister and I watched what my older, BIGGER brother watched! LOL

I hate to skip out on such a great run down memory lane with you all, but I am not feeling very well right now. Not sure what it is but it feels better when I lay down. Maybe the meds again? I’ll catch ya’all tomorrow.

Good Night Carmy, Dawn, Dry & JFri!

Good Night All

Nobody listened to that song! That song was long!

Goodnight Terry!

P.S.

Dry, I listen to them in a seperate window while I type posts! Good Night Beautiful People!
