I had a fleeting glimpse of the answer but now it seems to have passed.

Anybody remember this one? I may never march in the infantry Ride in the cavalry Shoot the artillery I may never fly o'er the enemy But I'm in the Lord's army. Special thanks to all our military vets and a brotherly tip of the hat to all those in "the Lord's army".

I ordered "surf and turf" once in Cleveland and the waitress brought me "carp and kielbasa". Sorry. I guess that's not a recipe.

I'm gonna step aside on this one. Pssst!----(There's a hidden clue in Wasway's post!)

--------------- -------------------

I kinda lost track. Is that the next post or an aside? BTW---Peter Green's band that I referred to was------------Splinter Group!-------now that's irony!

A couple years ago, I saw an "Austin City Limits" episode that featured Vince Gill. It seems that over the years he has appeared on the show 5 different times. They featured clips of said performances and even had one of his first appearance as a member of Pure Prairie League. Anyone know if those episodes are available for purchase?

This is somewhat Jeremy Spencer has a new release. Somewhat generic but not too bad, all in all. Sorry, it was a fleeting thought that popped in my head. Tom Strange-------Paul Simon co-wrote "Red Rubber Ball"? Who'dda thunk it?

I remember someone telling me(must have been about '68 or '69) that adding a certain herbal ingredient to brownie mix would ,shall we say, add to the nuance. Another person told me it was a myth. Being of a scientific nature, I set out to test the theory. I added about a lid(that's a baking term) to the batter. The end result was a disaster. It turned out like fudge flavored garden mulch. No one would eat it. Not wishing to waste all the money I had invested in it, I ate the entire pan myself, all at one sitting. I crashed about a week ago last Monday. What were we talking about again? Oh Yeah. Cheech and Chong.--------Far out man!

Announcer: OK Bob, let's look at what you've won. Why, it's a bag of steaming hot goat custard. Bob: Hey! That's just a bag of sh#t! Announcer: Yes, Bob, But it's really GOOD sh#t! And thanks for playing "Beat The Reaper",the only game show where a correct answer spares you from an agonizing, untimely demise.

Didn't this cold and snow thing happen last year,too? It's a conspiracy, I tell you---------And the adversary's at the heart of it!

Polar Bear----------Glad you are here now.

Heartfelt thanks to all the fine men and women here who have served their country in times of war and peace.

The Way Orchestra!!! Very cool,Polar Bear. Verycool,indeed.

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
