A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Biking Yeah! My orthopedist recommends it. Heal Your Knees by Robert Klapper M.D. & Linda Huey Two Days in the Omni Hotel should give me time to try out the exercise room and the pool. I'm not much of a swimmer but I can doggy paddle. The story of Badfinger is a tradgety. I watched it on YouTube.Joey Molland is one of the original 4 who started BadFinger. He tours and plays their songs in the original way they were written. The original four were Pete Ham (who committed suicide), Mike Gibbins, Sam Evans and Joey Molland. Harry Nilsson made this song: a hit. I was playing songs from Vanilla Fudge on YouTube and lo and behold. Bang Bang started with the music from Rogers and Hammerstein's the King and I. Who can forget the songs from Vanilla fudge: Bang Bang, Ticket to Ride, She's Not There, People Get Ready. https://youtu.be/QoRz9lCPDwA https://youtu.be/QgVPnWmUqd4 The whole building was rockin off its foundations at this concert by the time Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels started singin "Devil with the Blue Dress On/ Good Golly Miss Molly. https://youtu.be/AGMJnkrAQco. I did not link to this I think I'm over the link quota. In 1964 Fredrick Long and William Stevenson wrote "Devil With a Blue Dress On, but, when it was first recorded it did not hit. Many people wrote excellent dancing music but, often someone would come along and push it up the top 10 list with a variation of the beat, guitar or drumming arrangements. This was a real educational visit to San Diego, California. I need a rest good thing we are in the hotel for an extra day. All the group is tired tonight. Even Blue Moon and Sandra Lyn could ride the bikes.Maybe they ride at home. Electric bikes are great. What a great tour even the seals were waving as we rode by. See Ya! |
