This is Mrs.'s 17's first attempt to make a post. I hadda help. Cut her some slack, it's actually good.
It's a 3 day weekend folks!
Earlier this evening we were sitting on the front porch and the subject of shenanigans that we pulled when we were kids came up. You guessed it, 17 was a little hoodlum and I of course the princess. That being said,
remember this before you do anything stupid this weekend, the judge won't be back til Tuesday.
One of my favorite saxophonists is Wayne Shorter. He began his career playing with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, then went on to join Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet. He has also worked as a solo artist, and as a sideman for such musicians as Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana and Steely Dan. In 1971, he founded the Jazz-Fusion band, Weather Report, along with Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vitouš.
Today is Mr. Shorter's 85th birthday. Thought I'd pay pay tribute to him by featuring an album by Weather Report.
Oh, and any "Green Day" songs require approval from me in advance. Please use the email app to your right.
But I'll tell you now, your request has been denied.
I'm the Dugar that the media never talks about. I've got 8 children. My newest came last night. So now I have 9.
I'm a very fertile man, and every time I've brought a new one into the home, I was supposed to get rid of one. Well, I didn't live up to that commitment.
But now that, as of last night, I can proudly announce the birth of another baby, I must fulfill my commitment.
3 of my children will be thrown in the trash. Let the landfill eat them. Gawd Bless the little children.
2 of my children have earned their spot to be encapsolated in the closet. Gawd Bless the little children.
I feel this is the beginning of a slippery slope. Next thing you know, she'll be throwing out my things when I die.
If there is an Australian Alt-Rock supergroup, it might just be the Beasts Of Bourbon. I've read that the Beasts began as a joke among former members of The Scientists, The Johnnys, The Dum Dums and The Hoodoo Gurus.
'Black Milk' was released in 1990. It is their third studio album.
I recently learned that at one time, Vietnam was so overrun by rats that they put a bounty on them. They offered money to anyone who turned in a rat tail. Good idea, right? This worked for awhile, until people realized they could make more money by breeding rats. Before long, Vietnam had a bigger problem than when they started.
Another example? A certain bigmouth decided he'd run for a certain high office, but did everything he could to be defeated. Next thing you know, he's elected. Now every aspect of his criminal life is under the microscope.
Released in 1964, 'Folk Singer' is Muddy Waters's fourth studio album. It's also his only acoustic album.
Unplugged, if you will.
Along with Muddy on vocals and guitar, there is a fine back-up band that features Willie Dixon playing the upright bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy adding a second guitar.
Muddy, Willie, Clifton and Buddy... Doesn't get much better than that.
