Forgive his sins, don't forget the music.

Chuck Berry, The Great Twenty Eight

Chuck Berry, Blues

Chuck Berry with the Steve Miller Band, Live at the Fillmore Auditorium


Chuck Berry, "Concerto in B Goode"

I love that great 28 CD.
It was all original Chess recordings, not the versions of the same he came out with later.
The Chess recordings were the original, and far superior.

Harmonica player James Cotton dies at 81



Cotton began his playing career working for blues legends Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters during the 1950s and early 1960s. He formed his own band in 1967, performing and recording with it through the 1990s. He earned a reputation as a frequent collaborator with both blues and rock and roll bands. He was rendered unable to sing after a throat cancer diagnosis in the 1990s but continued to perform with guest vocalists, many of them famous, until shortly before his death from pneumonia March 16.

I was fortunate enough to see him live.

Don Warden passed away, he was part of the Porter Waggoner Trio on Porter's show we'd see in Dallas. Warden went on to manage Dolly Parton who was also on the show. He was 87 years old.  Not sure if I ever saw him in Nashville with Dolly but I did see her at the Nashville airport.

He plays the steel guitar; must be him.

I remember hearing about the troubles but I didn't know there were scenes like this back then.



From this article, some might find interesting: http://www.middleeasteye.net/essays/britain-s-greatest-terror-threat-again-950725172

Nail bombing horses, 1982: http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/seven-horses-of-the-queens-household-cavalry-lie-dead-1982/  (disturbing photo actually, should it bother anyone)

----------

See, with the internet, we can really be informed of so many more stories than how it was back then, keep up with sports stories. I'm not saying it's better nowadays, maybe it is to attain a variety of points of views on the news.

I listened to short wave radio growing up, namely the BBC, that's why I still often post from them, I recognize they have some biases, maybe a lot... but like the Daily Mail, if the story is there and mainly reporting the facts, that's not much of a problem.

Chuck Barris, Wacky Host and Creator of 'The Gong Show,' Dies at 87

Quote
Chuck Barris, the goofball host of The Gong Show who also was the manic mastermind behind two other
spontaneous game-show classics, The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game, has died. He was 87.

Barris, who in his book, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: An Unauthorized Biography, claimed to have been an
assassin for the CIA - his implausible story became a fantastical 2002 movie directed by first-timer George Clooney and
written by Charlie Kaufman - died Tuesday of natural causes at his home in Palisades, N.Y., his family announced through
publicist Paul Shefrin.

The Philadelphia native also penned the 1962 pop song "Palisades Park," a tribute to the old amusement park in New Jersey
that was a hit for Freddy Cannon and figured high on Barris' list of career achievements . . .

For those who don't remember . . . or have been trying to forget . . . not necessarily in that order . . .

@Applewood

"The Newleywood Game" with Bob Eubanks may have been the funniest non-script show to ever appear on tv.  I had no idea it was a Chuck Barris show until today.

 I still remember one episode as clear as a bell. Chuck Eubanks had to have one of the best "straight men" to ever hold a microphone. Right up there with Groucho Marx.He could get people to say the damnedest things.

 This one episode the question to the women while their husbands waiting back stage was,"what was the last romantic gift your husband gave you?" Typical answers were "flowers","dinner at a nice restaurant",etc,etc,etc.

So.......,the husbands come back on stage and the first couple of husbands reply with the typical answers.

Then they get to the black guy. His answer is "Bob,I work in the warehouse for a wholesale martial aids manufacturer,so I got my wife a dildo about THIS (hands spread about a foot apart) long." Eubanks started laughing so hard he actually fell down. Meanwhile,the wife is beating the husband all about the head and shoulder with her answer card,screaming "YOU FOOL! MY MAMA'S WATCHING!" I think Eubanks had gotten back to his feet about then,but fell down again when that happened,but am unsure because I was laughing so hard I wet my pants a little,and tears were coming from my eyes.

He had kind of an Andy Kaufman vibe going on in the sense you never knew what was real with him. The Gong show was kind of pointless and bizarre but it sold.

I'm guessing they are if they are still alive. They looked to be in their 40's,and had that "settled in" look.

I honestly don't think I have ever seen anything funnier than that in my entire life,and it was totally unexpected. I actually lost my breath for a moment.

Ex-Mets, Yankees, Phillies manager Dallas Green dies at 82

Quote
Sad news from baseball's spring training.

Dallas Green, the ex-Phillies, Mets and Yankees skipper, passed way, per Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

Green was a major league pitcher from 1960-1967, winning 20 games and posting an ERA of 4.26 in eight seasons.

It was the next phase of Green's baseball life, managing and team building, that garnered him many more accolades.

Green was the manager of the 1980 World Series champion Phillies, navigating the franchise to its first world title. In three
years as Phillies skipper (1979-1981), Green owned a 169-130 in Philadelphia . . .

RIP Mr. Green. And I hope your beloved little granddaughter had a big hug and kiss for you upon your arrival. (The little girl
was killed in the attack that also wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords . . . )
