I like this one as well.
However, I think they modernized him a bit when he got his deal. I still like this one, though.

Sweet Home Alabama here... Sweet Home Chicago up in Illinois...
This might be counterintuitive, but being a teenage drummer and hearing "Play Wipeout for me," EVERY SET OF EVERY GIG gets tiresome.
Especially when it is a basic, cheesy song.
Did I mention I'm not too fond of that song? lol
At least it wasn't freeeeeeebird
I purposefully left that SOB off. If I never hear another drunk in a bar yell that title again, it will be too soon.
I know someone whose dad hitchhiked home from Fort Benning to Chicago many a time in the late 50s or early 60s. I believe they may have done so from Fort Irwin or somewhere out in California as well, but know they drove back and forth from out there a few times. Can't recall for sure
Got me a roast with taters and carrots going in the instant pot. Spur of the moment decision but I'll stand by it. Overeating should commence in about an hour.
How about In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida....or before your time?
I bet. I cringed typing it just as I did when I typed California a minute ago.
A cheesy song that I did like playing.
Later on, I met a girl who liked it as well. I think her name was Saffron and she was a cousin of Cinnam........ wait a minute. Damn it!

I know the song. But never played it. I can imagine.
Gonna see if I can get some garden stuff done today. Cooking later. Trampoline park in the middle... Yep. I said it
Have a great day you national champion volleyball lovers!!

Wow. Had totally forgotten that song. Flashbacks to 70s jeans and candle stores... weird
That was the song for every soldier getting out of the Army leaving Germany back in the 70's. Taking that freedom bird back to the USA.
Did I tell you all that just a while ago I got a good shot on this bird . . . . .
well we are having squab for dinner tonight!
I want to meet you awf. You are a fine person with wit.
It is a good drum roll. You have to admit that!
Don't you say a damned thing about freebird! Those are fighting words. 😁
It takes energy to go out and "bald" a golf course.

I'll bet you did hate it. It's a song that's hard to get our of your head. Redundant.
Man what a voice... always strikes me the first time I hear it in a while.
In the late 50's and early 60's seeing a soldier boy or a sailor hitch hiking along the road was a very very common site. This was before interstate highways and life was a little slower. I had a friend who told everybody he was going to hitch hike from Clearwater, Florida to Seattle, Washington on his 18th birthday and he did.
When I was driving for North American Van Lines back in my college days we would park our truck and try to catch a few hours sleep. Run away girls would bang on the door wanting a ride to some large city. Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans. They just want to go somewhere, anywhere. But we always said no because it was against company policy. But they found a ride with some trucker, no doubt.
I met Johnny and June in the Atlanta airport back in the late eighties. We were boarding a plane and he and June came out of the VIP lounge to board last where people wouldn't bug them, I guess. We were rounding up the kids. The littlest was hiding under the benches in the waiting area, so we were also at the end of the line. Johnny was friendly, but very quiet. June was a chatter box.Johnny Cash actually had two careers. One in his early life and later as he had aged. I became a fan of his in 1956 when he first released I Walk The Line. I saved my money and bought his first record album, released in 1957. I was attracted to his music because I could relate to it. He was singing about my heritage and my people, Southern, dirt farmers and hard times. Times I may not have experienced but my grandparents and parents did and the stories on the front porch were those sung by Johnny Cash and other country singers of the time. But Johnny Cash was different because he could tell a story like none other.
If you were not around when this lady sang you missed out hearing the best. Nobody made a lonely soldier boy cry in his beer like this lady singing this song. I have seen fights break out just because somebody put a nickel in the jukebox and played it
DW has it - about 5-6 years now. She always had ear wax buildup/blocked/some noises. When it hit she couldn't stand up for hours with dizziness till it passed. Probably had dozen episodes over a couple years till it calmed down a lot between testing out various diet changes like no caffeine, low salt, & some others. Also carries meclizine. But still gets minor episodes. That said, she's lost 50% + hearing in right ear (The one thing that normally causes hearing loss in just one ear. ) & has hearing aid. Ear is usually stopped up, and she has sounds/noises to varying degrees that make falling asleep difficult. It's hard for me to appreciate it because I can't see anything happening outside the dizzy spells. And her case is considered mild.
I'd hitchhike home from UK a few times every year. Someone with car would ride me out to I-75 entrance ramp. Got out in Covington & called my dad (We had phone booths then.) to pick me up - like 6/7 miles away.
Started doing it as a kid coming home on Saturday afternoon after watching matinees in one of the Newport theaters. Probably did it half the days coming home from high school. I sure as h didn't have a car.
With all of this talk of hitchhiking and ear problems, you know it is killing me to not make a Babel Fish reference.
Definitely no caffeine and low salt, plus trying to drink a good bit of water. Avoiding cigarette smoke and strong odors helps me. I may drink one beer ever few years, but avoiding alcohol helps. Meclizine or motion sickness pills for if I start feeling light headed. Haven't had a bad spell in a long time. I've lost some hearing, especially on the low end of the scale. It's still difficult for me to be in a room with a lot of different sounds from different directions.
U brought up points for her too I didn't think of since it's not me. Yes, lots of water & near-zero alcohol. Yes, she has the sounds issue too. Avoids squeaky voice women.
Got lucky with the roast. I threw some stuff in there that I don't normally use. Red wine vinegar and fish sauce are a couple. Wife thought it was great because I know enough not to tell her what I put in until she's ate it.
I mowed the grass today because I thought I was getting ahead of it. Turned out, if I didn't mow it today I would have been behind. Something about all the rain and plenty of sunshine just makes my grass grow.

Man I can sing some Merle. Just put some of his music on to do it. Every time I hear his songs I want to pick the guitar back up. Not sure why I don't play anymore. I keep a guitar close. Just don't take the time to harden my fingers back up to where I can play what I want to play. I am thinking about doing it though as my Grandson likes music.
I made some biscuits from scratch yesterday morning, I have them down now. My daughters steal them. (It took me a while.)
The wife and I have been running around the last couple days. Took my Grandson to church earlier today. I do enjoy my grandson, he has a good time just being and loving... He's a keeper...
Scheduled to get that second vaccine in the morning...
Oh, and I DO hope all's day has been a good one. God will take care of you... Keep your eyes upon him.

My wife bought her and my daughter fitness bands that monitor steps and heart rates and just put it on my arm to check my resting heart rate and it was 63 beats per minute. Hers was 79 and my daughters 93. Neither exercise and have not for over a year or so. My wife has bought many (some expensive) exercisers that she used only for a short while before giving up on them because, they are not as easy as they look like on tv. They tried walking about 3 days a week but, most of the time it is either too cold or too hot. She has since basically given up on that idea and is now making her own bread (quick microwavable mix) that is supposed to be Keto in nature. In fact she has been doing quite a few Keto recipes including deserts. So far 1 pretty good the rest bleh. She has tried to get me to eat more of it but, I told her that most of it taste like dung and I would much rather exercise, eat what I want and hope for the best.
My resting heart rate is 37-45. I'm no great trained athlete, it just is. Dad's was low too. I get stares anytime some new measures it.
Yours too??!! Thought mine was unique.
#1 items in garage/yard sales.
Yep, getting rid of them when the chance arrives.
HAHA you are good to me again WC. Knowing the exercise you put in makes me more motivated to up my exercise. I wear a fitbit my daughter gave me. I used to count calories until I got used to the intake and now I don't use that function any longer but I do watch my steps per day and my sleep number AND my resting heart rate. I stay around 64-69 at most. (Mostly stays around 65-66) I do see where I could up my fitness. Thanks!
