Dot--------Sad that people would abuse a defenseless animal like that. I have heard it said ( but can't give a reference) that people who do such things are only a step or two away from committing abuse of people. The part about respiratory ailments transferring to the dog is a long held belief by people practising Voodoo and Gris Gris. It is specific to this breed. For them to abuse this dog would be somewhat on the order of a Catholic burning a crucifix or rosary beads. Not only are they abusing an animal, they are thumbing their nose at religious convention.

Quite an excellent choice, Mr. Strange. The guy who penned this one has been quite active in the past decade cranking out some pretty decent blues, having departed from the group that made this tune a hit.The name of his subsequent band is a bit amusing in light of what has been discussed on this here forum as of late.

I don't know what it was that was so darned appealing about that song. Surely it wasn't some complex rhythm or intricate chord structure. Still, we listened to that song over and over again and never seemed to tire of it. Maybe it was the droning guitar;maybe it was the story laced in the lyrics. Perhaps it was merely the captivating quality of Lightfoots' voice. To all who navigate The Great Lakes and endure their fickle temperment, I salute thee.

Tom S.---------We did this one about a month or so ago.(Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle) ChattyKathy did some cool stuff on her post. How about another one from the same era?

You got it Wasway. And for that I say"Ready,Steady,Go"

Excellent guess though incorrect. Members of The Mickey Mouse Club such as Annette, Cubby, Bobby,etc, were probably fans of this show as they were entering their teen years and starting to shed their "cutesy" image. Bonus clue: It was inspired by an already successful British show.

Vegan XTC---------I see your point about natural predators. The problem is that ,in many areas, natural predators no longer exist or do not exist in sufficient quantities. The ecology has gotten out of kilter so far, it is difficult to imagine what would be possible to correct it. I am not a hunter nor do I believing in hunting without a purpose. There are two purposes that can be accomplished by hunting deer. 1.) Minimize risk of encounters with the human population which can,in fact, have deadly consequenses.2.) supply a viable source of nutrition to those in need. I personally know someone who hunts and processes as much as the law will allow and then distributes the bounty to people who are truly in need. I hope you don't see this as a personal attack. I am merely suggesting there may be reasons for hunting that have nothing to do with the urge to kill what are undeniably beautiful creatures.

We have quite a few jams here in town. Most are way too late for an old guy like me though I sometimes try a late one if I know I don't have to work the next day. We have one that runs on Sunday afternoons and that one seems to fit the bill a little better. What I have found is that a little etiquette goes a long way. Try to help others on stage shine when it's their turn. This requires developing the art of listening. "Hot-Dogs" are not usually welcomed with open arms more than once. Be prepared. Know what you want to do,what key you want to do it in and what kind of tempo you want. Be ready to drop that tune you had your heart set on and go to an alternative as someone may do it before you and it is definitely bad form to try to "out perform" them. There is nothing wrong with going as a "lurker" a few times; You may find it's not a jam you want to be a part of. Knowing your way around the 145-12 bar format is almost mandatory.OH! did I mention "have fun"? "Have fun while you can------fate's an awful thing" T-Bone Walker

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

"Hi everybody, I'm Jimmy O'Neill,your host, and it's time for"-------------" Sorry. The quote may not be exact but it's pretty close to what I remember.

All In The Family? The "little girl" part sounds like Archie Bunker talking to Gloria.

HCW--------Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking(OK,not the part about the day job). Sometimes it's like watching an old home movie and seeing yourself do something you really wish the camera had not captured. But then again you think to yourself: Maybe my kids will see this and recognize the folly. If they benefit from it, it will have been worth the embarrassment.

TWI must have surely followed some sound doctrine in the early days. Otherwise, people would have heard the shpiel and said"fugetaboutit". I personally know people who, having met in TWI over 30 years ago, remain friends to this day. The problem is, the doctrines not only changed, some took on an entirely opposing meaning. How else can we explain how a ministry that taught we could face any adversity as long as God was with us to a ministry that was afraid something terrible might happen in a cake decorating class(see previous thread involving this subject) unless two believers were present at all times? How could a ministry go from teaching that it was needless to be anxious about tomorrow to one that required elaborate,in-depth explainations for every minute of the day,lest the Devil seize the moment? Speaking only for myself, I find fault in the inconsistancy and wavering of TWI "doctrine". If only one "innie" reading these posts is able to piece together what has really happened and continues to happen, That in itself should explain why we criticize TWI doctrine.

All I know is, I don't ever want to see "edited posthumously" at the bottom of one of my own posts.

"Heavy",I think, was a product of Iron Butterfly but the tune still evades me. Inna Gadda Da Vida was one of those tunes that broke the "3 minute rule", along with Light My Fire by The Doors.

I haven't a clue, but when I see the answer I'll probably go

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road? A. To prove to the possum that it COULD be done! (Me too on the "couldn't resist" thing.)

Wasway-------Don't forget to give her your brand. T. Strange----One of my favorites too.(Even though it has no bongos ) NEXT!!!

Pssst--------Don't drink the milk. It's spoiled!

Well said, Polar Bear.

Friends---------( Ya gotta have 'em) At least that's what The Divine Miss M (Bette Mittler) says. Above the hills, higher than eagles we're gliding Suspended in the sky Over the hill, straight for the sun we were riding. My eyes filled with light behind those black walls. Below was a bottomless canyon. Floating with no sound, ghosts far below seemed to be suddenly rising, exploding all around.

Thank you for the friendly advise, Wasway. :)

Some friends of mine wanted to bet me they knew this one. HMMMMM------To bet or not to bet.

Steve Allen Show?

HMMMM!-------Could those 's be some sort of clue?
