A bit of the new to get your travelin’ feet a-movin’
I don’t often highlight new artists or music here, in large part because I don’t hang out in the clubs as much I did in the old days, so I don’t get to hear that music where it ought to be heard. But I happened to be at Smith’s Olde Bar a couple of weeks ago listening to bands, and the first two or three to hit the stage were pretty good. Then this guy named Tim Brantley, the headliner, comes on and all of a sudden I find myself gravitating toward the stage to watch, because he’s better than pretty good. He was pretty damn good, and the “damn” makes all the difference.
I don’t know much about him, but this is one of the songs he played that night, accompanied by a guy who played a kickin’, rockin’-out cello, if you can believe it. I’m not sure you can capture live music all that well on video, but see if you like it.

I have noted that a couple of folks have mentioned extraterrestrials here today. Here is a little extra something for all men and women titled “To Serve Men” . If you are a CliffNotes type, start the YouTube video at about the 3:00 minute mark.

This one goes out to Grandpa.
Signed up for the Marines at age 16 right after Pearl Harbor (back then you only had to have your mama verify your age).
Deployed Guadalcanal at 17.

Hey josef!! Yeah, I liked bruno’s tribute too!!
Bruno – Dudley is actually HERE……AGAIN!!! Imagine my surprise when I got a call on my cell 2 weeks ago to come and get him at the airport. I was like “Which Airport — Ramstein?” He’s looking kinda good too!! Got that little tan thing working and those muscles……whew!! Now I remember why I fell for him in the first place……
He still doesn’t like the fact that I’ve moved out and live on my own now, but he does like my new place. We’re at the old house hanging with the family before he leaves, (next Wednesday), and it’s been really nice to have him back.
PS: The only other movie I think that’s better than Coming To America is Bill Murray’s Ghost Busters!! THAT was a classic!!

I’m sorry, I didn’t know that. A corpsman is a Marine’s best friend and I served with many a brave one (India Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines 1967-68).
Unfortunately, our Commander in Chief mispronounced the word “corpsman” as “corpseman” while speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast in February. You would think a Harvard graduate would know better.
If I had known your husband was currently serving overseas I would have not brought the subject up. I meant you no disrespect or additional worry.

Don’t wish it away
Don’t look at it like it’s forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better
And while I’m away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won’t be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide
And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I’m your man
Without me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses-Constipation
