Did you know chipmunks are actually squirrels?

Jungle? Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my! "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" - The Tokens

While on the subject of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross: Jon Hendricks could spit out fast lyrics and still make them understandable better than anyone else I know of. Originally by Claude Cloud and His Thunderclaps, Jon added the words to the melody and ad-libs. Cloudbusrst - Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross

I finally got to public school in 6th grade after we moved to Florida K through 6 at Catholic school. Actually K, 1, and 2 weren't bad, but the third grade was the year the nuns tried to destroy our spirit. So 3, 4, and 5 were miserable. The things they did back then would land them in jail today. I think it's a mistake to put older virgins in charge of minding children. Too many seem to take their sexual frustrations out but substituting violence against the children. I've had my knuckles slapped with the yard stick, bent over the teachers desk in front of the class and had my a s s whipped multiple times, and instead of breaking my spirit, it redirected my anger towards catholic school. But I recovered after we moved and my 6th grade public school teacher was a sweet woman. In 7th I got into the band and that changed my entire life for the better. Notes

I'm getting them in Firefox, which doesn't run on the Chrome 'engine'. I think it's a copyright thing across International borders (someone correct me if that's a bad guess). Notes

Try this one Craig: If you boil a funny bone it becomes laughing stock. That's humerus.

I'm getting too many "VIdeos Unavailable" from Wibbles and others. I'm missing some good music. If you also post the name I can google the ones that don't work here. The Pink Panther Theme - Henry Mancini (Plas Johnson played the sax)

I saw Mountain back in the day. Leslie was a wizard on the guitar, playing an SG with P90s. He will be remembered fondly by me. RIP Mr. West.

Thanks for teaching me the meaning of "plethora". It means a lot.

Everybody's Boppin' - Lambert Hendricks & Ross

I thought the joke was amusing.

The music is dated, the video is definitely low-rez, bit it's amazing how many instruments these gals played. Doubling? Tripling? Quadrupling? etc. Band Beautiful - The Ingenues

It's Professor Longhair's birthday today. Born in 1918, "Fess" influenced Fat's Domino, Allen Toussaint, Dr John and so many other NOLA pianist/singers. Tipitina - Professor Longhair

The Westone and Etymotic musician's ear plugs are something you have to get used to. They are a huge improvement over the foam inserts, and the response of the 15db inserts is reasonably flat. If you need the 25s they have some high frequence roll off. But they don't sound like naked ears. It's a compromise so that you can still hear when you get old and grey. It's a personal choice, but if you get old and grey and wished you would have worn them, there is no fix to the problem. Insights and incites by Notes

I've been off since March 17 and won't be back until enough of us get COVID vaccinations to encourage the +55 year old community to get back out to the bars where they belong.
