Mr. P says, "Wasn't he the one who put his cape out so the Queen could pass...?"

Bun says "Wait; let me get this straight, this Raleigh dude does all this chivalrous stuff like putting his cape out for the Queen and he still gets beheaded?"

And I said "Pretty much..."

2/2

ON this date in 1618 - Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded under a sentence that had been brought against him 15 years earlier for conspiracy against King James I.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple are crouched near me this morning and reading this too (they are so cute when they read from the computer screen).

1/2

ON this date in 1971 - Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in Macon, GA.

Bun Man, Mr. Purple and I remember this day like it was yesterday as the Boyz and I had seen Duane the year before in a concert at Shippensburg State College.

Gratefully, the Allman Bros. Band would continue, but sadly, this musical genius and slide master is still missed, but remembered fondly every time we hear that slide solo in Layla or his searing work on Boz Scagg's 'Somebody Loan Me a Dime'...

Be a BOB ROSS...Let your Special Peeps know they are Special Peeps to you

Historybook: Sir Walter Raleigh is executed (1618); "Joy of Painting" host Bob Ross born (1942); Actress Winona Ryder born (1971); Actress Gabrielle Union born (1972); Astronaut John Glenn becomes the oldest NASA astronaut in space at age 77 (1998).

"Don’t forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you."

Baseball is LIFE

Ken-Dogger: Dixiee, would you look at Truck sleepin' there...
Dixiee: Now that's cute, tucked in there with his baseball, was a great season
KD: It was Baby Girl...And the best team won, doesn't always happen that way, but this year it did
D: Just shows you what a little bit of chemistry can do huh?
KD: Yep, it does, it's always in the blending that you become better than yourself...

Morning Peeps,

Most of the time, it's those working who know where we're headed...

@corlin

I was thinking maybe

Billy Joel

Rod Stewart

Sting

Boz Scaggs

My buddy arrived in Vegas and is on his way here.

Started thinking about Vegas in its heyday with the Rat Pack.

Success was time-sensitive...right place, right time.

Who would be today's RAT PACK?

Name your 4 selectees

Why aren't there Sade tribute bands touring?

I'd definitely be in that mosh pit.

@EvilBunny

Up from the ground came a bubblin' crude...Shit that is, Russian shit

@yogapaddlerun Reminds me of that scene in The Jackal where Jack Black gets blown away by Bruce Willis with his own manufactured gun.

@Bix

They do these online interviews as it gives 'em a break from the SUCK/BLOW CHAMBER.

Can Lady G be far behind? (was that a pun?)

@Warpspeed3

Sensual magic...When I was a dating man, she found her way to the turntable.

@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE

Did a rafting trip up in Potter County back in the 70s, it was epic.
