Slim Harpo---Baby, Scratch My Back

Is that anything like a Creamcicle? OOPS! I may have just crossed the line. You know, the one that seperates good from evil?

Wow! Must be LONG after my time. They might have done better showing the scene from Disney's "Fantasia". At least it had good music. Oh, wait. I just remembered; Disney was a "seed boy".

I never knew about GSC until about a year ago. Therefore, since I hadn't seen it, it didn't really exist. Thanks, Dot. It must be awful to not be able to admit to one's self they have been hoodwinked. Imagine this at an AA meeting: " Hi, I'm Joe Schmoe. I'm not REALLY an alcoholic." Riiiight!!

Baby Elephant Walk-----Henry Mancini

If they're anything like coyotes( in terms of behavior), they could be in your backyard right now and you wouldn't know it. Beats the heck out of me how those critters are able to vanish into thin air.(coyotes, that is.)

HAHA! Didn't even notice when I read the original post. Something about "the context", dontcha know?

Dang It! I want in on this, too. I could be a maroon if I put my mind to it!

I don't think God EVER tires of hearing his kids express their concerns. What kind of *father* would he be if he did?

You know you have gotten old when: In the middle of the night, your wife creeps into the living room and catches you watching scrambled broadcasts of-------------------------------The Fishing Channel! HAHA!---You thought I was going to say --------The Golf Channel-------- didn't Ya? Cracker Barrel: Midwest restaurant chain that features home style cooking and a rustic ambiance.

For me, the big picture is not about the fact THAT he plagiarized. That's a foregone conclusion. What bothers me the most is WHY he did what he did. No, I don't know what thoughts ran through his mind but surely he must have had ulterior motives that involved satisfying his own personal agendas. So often we see on the news where a pedophile will get a job teaching or coaching so they can create scenarios that will put them in a position to act out. Likewise with people who create a financial facade to hide their plotting to defraud people of their money. Ditto on people who knowingly create a false persona to generate adoration or sympathy. Are any of these reasons applicable to understanding why he plagiarized? I don't know. It's certainly food for thought, though.

Not sure where to find it online. If you absolutely have to have it(to learn a part for a band you are in), it is on the "Hollywood Situation" album which was released in late 1974 on the Casablanca Records label. Amazon or eBay, maybe? You could always sell it when you are done with it. PS------- It might also be on "Best Of The Hudson Brothers"(not sure of the label on that one.)

There's a band in Ohio named McGuffey Lane. They used to do a song that had these lyrics: "My name is Burt It's on my shirt I'll pump your gas And kick your----------------." I have to wear a shirt that has my first name over the right pocket. It drives me nuts when I am at "Burger Biggy" and the counter person addresses me by name. Likewise if I pop into the grocery on the way home. It gives people a license to pretend they know you. THEY DON"T!!! What's just as bad is that the company name and logo is over the other pocket. They seem to think that entitles them to free technical advise. IT DOESN'T!!! Of course the flip side is that I save a ton of money because I never have to buy clothes for work. No real point, just rambling.

I have heard accounts of guitar players and other stringed instrument players who have had surgery to sever certain tendons. This is to keep the hand from configuring itself in the way that it is naturally prone to do. This allows the artist to articulate passages that are beyond the scope of normal motion. I do not have much info on this other than hearsay. It's not a shortcut. It's painful, permanent and takes plenty of healing and rehabilitation time. Still, it diminishes the true value of the finished product which should represent what the human body is capable of, in and of itself.(IMO) I would much rather hear one single note that is straight from the soul than a flurry of notes that are the result of some unnatural process. I am not too knowledgeable about sports, but , to me, at least, there seems to be a bit of a parallel between artificial assistance in music and sports. I guess what it all comes down to is that the ticket buying public expects as much bang as they can get for their buck. As long as money is at the heart of the issue, I don't think this subject will be resolved any time soon.

Who are "us" and "we"? Just askin' Kinda reminds me of that Pink Floyd song------ Us--Us--Us and Them--Them--Them What's the lesson that's about to unfold?

Kudos to the photographer. It brings back memories of my childhood on the shores of the lake they call Erie.

And lest they be forgotten, there was also a group called "The Lakeview Telecasters". The were a Gospel quartet before joining "the flock". They,too, sang at the first couple ROAs.

Sorry, Sushi The Doctor is out . He'll be right back with----------------------.

And lest we should forget, it was Stuart Sutcliffe, the band's first bass player, who named the group and lent Sir Paul his Hofner President(violin bass) to use.

Al Jarreau---Now that you mention it, I remember this one. Didn't he have an album with the same title? And who can forget the receptionist ?( I think her real name was Alice Beasley.) Attractive in her own quirky, cerebral kind of way.

John and Jean Please don't take this personally, but I really couldn't give a rat's rear end about the marital relationship that exists between you two. This thread is about how women in TWI were subjected to degrading policies and behavior. It is broad in scope and not focused on any one particular individual or couple. Anecdotal recountings may help the discussion but should not become the focal point. At least that's my opinion.

Let me just state for the record: I ain't stringin' chairs for no stinkin' end of the world party!!! OK--- Maybe I'll help with refreshments but that's it, fini, the end. Compeesh?

WashingtonWeather I remember Pat and Dan quite well. They were FL3. We stayed in contact for a little while after FL. I am sorry to say I do not remember your stay. One of the functions we served was to act as an underground railroad of sorts. We housed people who were being pursued by their families and deprogrammers. It's not too hard to hide in a rural location that has no contact with the outside world. We were strictly forbidden from asking questions other than the usual "do you need more blankets?", etc, Hence, I do not remember your stay. Re: The running. Yep, we ran every morning at 5:30, rain or shine.(365) One of our married FL sisters had to run even though she was having difficulty with her first ever pregnancy. She wound up losing the baby and caused damage that rendered her unable to ever bear children. Quite a sacrifice to make. We were young and headstrong to "move The Word".

Mini--c. Thank you for reminding us that there is a child's POV to this whole subject. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in our own lives, we neglect to see the effects we are having on the impressionable minds that see us as role models.

My 2 cents (adjusted for inflation.) It really matters only if 1. You think you may sell the instrument in the future. 2. It adversely affects the performance of said instrument. Look at SRV or Willie Nelson's axes. Lots more examples but those two come to mind. Both have had the bejeebers beat out of them but it adds to the character. just a thought.
