Comments: MaryKay Crowder reported on Facebook that she has 33 yeses and 5 maybes for the luncheon June 23, so if you haven't checked it out yet, take a look at the Events Page.
Comments: I was told that the gap in the Watergate Tapes is 18 minutes long and so is the song "You Can Get Anything You Want in Alice's Restaurant." According to Arlo, the joke was that Nixon didn't want anyone to know that he was listening to counter culture music and he deleted the song from the Watergate Tapes. His sister Cathy had the same disease as her father and it looks like she has passed away. She was touring with him when he presented his concert on Greenville a few years back.
Comments: It's a smiley face like I would put on Kgn. work.. I had an OM Chopped Ham and Cheese sandwich with Lettuce and Mayo..Salt and Pepper.. (still a smiley for that) And my very good iced tea.. 
Comments: Ginger the smiling face looks like some one enjoying Ice Cream You Having desert now One of the few enjoyments of ole age DESERT
Comments: Woody Guthrie died from Huntington's Chorea. Arlo always feared that he would get it.
Comments: Alice's... Wikipedia says it's at least 18 min. and 32 seconds long... It's a long listen...
Comments: "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." At least 14 minutes long... 
Comments: I once shook Arlo's hand after a show he did at a theater on Greenville Arlo was really exhausted . During his concert, he talked about the twenty-two minutes lost in the Watergate tapes. This song is played every Thanksgiving and I believe it is "Alice's Restaurant." Woody, Arlo and his sister Cathy all suffer from a heredity disease, which caused Woody's death. it is late and I am having trouble with my memory, maybe, one of you can help me out.
Comments:
Well, pooh! Of course I meant Woody...Arlo is his son. I was thinking Woody and wrote Arlo...sorry!
Comments: It's Woody Guthrie... Arlo was born in 1947. I've already found him this week when going through the Bob Dylan 'stuff'. I had to correct myself on 2-3 songs.. Bob wrote a lot of songs but he sang other people's songs..too. Site Nazi...? We have a 1st Flr Nazi..here in these Sr. Apts..and we have a 3rd Flr Nazi... They're not known for their positive...traits, however..
Comments: BTW: Arlo Guthrie, the REAL Americana songster (this land is your land), would be 100 years old in July 2012. Just want to remind the Decorah Eagle watchers that the huge Eaglets are "wingersizing" flapping their wings and teetering on the edge of their nest and flying from one side of nest to the other. We won't get to see them fly to the limbs because of the limited view...we will only know they are gone....they will come back and forth for a while.
Comments: Oh, Jud Harmon, you have such a way with words -- uh, I guess.
Comments: Site Nazi...you would fit in perfectly with this bevy of beauties!
Comments:  Look at these three. I have cutie pie envy!
Comments: Ginger, you are so right. All three SOC '63 girls look splendid!! There must have been something in those warm water fountains.
Comments: Jan put a very nice picture of Mary, Charlotte, and herself..up on Facebook. Very nice.
Comments: Fantastic news about Mary!
Comments: I had lunch with Mary Irene, Jan Willard Netherland and Martha Willard Brooks today at Jan's beautiful home in The Woodlands. Mary is doing so well after her gamma knife procedure. She says she feels good, but her vision is still poor. All four of us laughed and talked of old times and people we knew in common. Mary played the piano for us. It was gorgeous music to my ears to hear Mary, once again, play so beautifully. She showed me the hilarious picture of her self in her clear Darth Vader helmet. The one they use for the gamma knife procedure...what a hoot that woman is!!!!! Her brother, Bedford and his wife come next week to visit for a while and she is so excited. Bedford is in a wheelchair so they will certainly use the concrete path she has surrounding her beautiful and peaceful back yard as they visit.
Comments: Joan is still around.. I loved her Copper Kettle song..It seems Bob Dylan sang it, too. One of the Guthrie's is gone.. Have to google them to see.. I also remember The MTA..song.. remember the man that was lost forever neath the streets of Boston... that's a Kingston Trio hit.. Mr. Bojangles was written by Jerry Jeff Walker not Bob Dylan, but he sang it.. Loved the folk songs..still do..
Comments: Whatever happened to Gordon Lightfoot, John Hartman, Bobby Goldsboro, Arlo Guthrie, and Joan Baez? Also, Motown.
Comments: Retraction... If you go to Bob's site.. there's a lot..that he recorded and a lot that he wrote..Have to click on them individually... Gordon Lightfoot..wrote Early Morning Rain... Bob sang it..
Comments: Robert Zimmerman...wrote a few songs. Among those.. Early Morning Rain, The Times They Are A-Changing..It Ain't Me, Babe, Blowing in the Wind, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Tambourine Man. One of my favorites is With God On Our Side, which Aaron Neville sang too.. He goes through all our wars and talks about how we think God is on our side.. Robert Zimmerman/ Bob Dylan just turned 70.. Bob Dylan and Paul Simon do hold special places in our generation's music..
Comments:
Charlotte, a guy in Houston has a "business" that helps folks find lost items (rings, watches, hearing aids, earrings etc) by enlisting volunteers to go search with their metal detectors.
The "Lost My Stuff Group" provides the service for free and has about a 50% success ratio. Here's a link to some of the successful outcomes:

The service is offered nationwide.
Comments: When Bill and I were first married we lived in a small college town in Northeastern Oklahoma, Tahlequah. Tahlequah had a small rodeo, a state college and was the capital of the Cherokee Nation. It also had five FBI agents located there because it was a center for flying in drugs. It was a town that always attracted celebrities. For instance, John Wayne was spotted eating 5 cents a dip ice cream at the local drug store. By the way, we paid 24 cent a gallon for gasoline. The children of the town liked to swim in the river that flowed through the middle of the town. The town was basically one long street. A lot of musicians often played at the local pizza joint by the college campus. I remember they often played Bob Dylan songs especially "the Times They Are a Changing."
Comments: JS...I just read this...maybe there is a business here for you.... :It was a proposal plan gone wrong. A Colorado doctor vacationing in Florida thought he had a perfect proposal put together, but he lost the ring. He actually buried the ring in the sand. The tide came in, and when he went to propose the ring was missing. He had to call a company called Ring Finders, which used a metal detector to help find the ring. His girlfriend said "yes" and the ring isn't leaving her finger.
Comments: Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands wasn't my story, but I did love that album.
Comments: Possibly, you've been on another planet...Char. He wrote songs that told our story, that set the 60's in motion.. Has a 'whiny' voice...but his music is Great.!
Comments: Bob Dylan, whom I loved way more than The Beatles, owns a ranch in Maui. A ranch. Maybe that's why he won an award.
Comments: Wonderful news about Mary Mc!! She's Wonder Woman. Love you, Mary Irene.
Comments: Sharon , you are too funny...I didn't think you were being you-know-what. haaaaaaaaaa! Can someone tell me what Bob Dylan has done to deserve the Medal of Freedom Award???????? He did fry his brain with drugs, but what else? Don't get me wrong...I loved Bob Dylan and his music back in the day and have plenty of his records and I have nothing against the man....I'm just wondering |
