I play a Borgani Alto Sax and an Ovation Acoustic Guitar.
.......was in a group called "The Jestors". We did gigs in local pubs. Also did a few weddings. Now that was quite the experience!!
I wouldn't call a Mathis LP form the 70's a "prime" recording.
Mathis was a prime contender during 1956-1962.
-Are you referring to the LP, "The Best Days of My Life". Not exactly a best seller. The only redeeming cuts on there are "As Time Goes By", "Begin The Beguine" and his chart hit...
I recently visited a tired little clip joint in my town of New London. In the shop, off to the side, are arranged an assortment of hair-care products: shampoos, cremes, rinses. And there, next to the Lucky Tiger hair tonic, is a bottle I haven’t seen in years. Sur-Lay, it reads. It looks the...
When I first heard that Jerry was a writing his memoirs of those partnership years, I was more than a bit apprehensive. After all, Dean has already left this world and what would Jerry say about him? Would Jerry take credit for everything? Would Jerry somehow put blame for their breakup on his...
94 years!! That's what I call a long life. But this guy was equally as famous for his music as he was for his notorious sexual exploits. Shaw's eight wives included Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Kathleen Winsor, Betty Kern, Doris Dowling and Evelyn Keyes. Enough said!!
How can I forget the late...

When I was growing up, I spent my summers in the relative wilds of Upstate NY. Blackberries were the bane and boon of my existence. These insidious vines would creep and climb everywhere, and they had sharp thorns to boot. It was nearly a full time job just keeping them from taking over...
Frank started to thin out on top after he broke off with his steamy relationship with Ava Gardner!!
Aggravation of "that kind' is known to do that to some gents!!lol
That's about the time he took to wearin, his trademark fedoras.
Initially it was more "cover-up" than a "style" for him...
1. Watched Over-The-Air television? Have cable on one TV set, rabbit ears on the other two.
3. Listened to AM radio? Listen to SportsRadio every morning while I'm getting ready for work.
5. Opened a can -- any kind of can -- with a church key? Open tomato sauce that way!
6. Wrote a letter...
Favorite movie about a famous General:
PATTON
D-Back, You didn't think I was gonna say that "rebel" General MacArthur!
Anyway, George C. Scott won the Oscar for Patton.
Gregory Peck was not even nominated for MacArthur.
Looks a lot like Rye Playland and was built around the same time too!
Here are two old-fashioned Amusement Parks closer to my home:

Going to the huge mega theme parks can be a very expensive.
A summer trip to a smaller venue such Playland Park in Rye, NY is just as enjoyable.
This place has been on the edge of the Long Island Sound for almost 80 years. It's attractions are anchored by Art Deco architecture and...
Another inexpensive summer date is going to a minor league baseball game.
The Staten Island Yankees play in one of the nicest stadiums in the New York Penn League. The ticket prices are from $8 to $10 dollars. The park offers a great view from anywhere you sit. You can clearly see Manhattan...
Can you have fun in New York City for under ten bucks a day? Most would say no.
There's a series on NYC's Municipal TV Station 25 called $9.99.
Every episode of $9.99 is a whirlwind tour of New York City's unique neighborhoods.
Visit parks, museums, restaurants, galleries and a whole host...
