    1. It's amazing the good songs that have been produced, but we've never heard.

  2. So true - I think that's why Daryl has been jamming in his basement with various musicians -- he still sounds great.

  3. Have you seen this version? Not as pretty scenery, but lots more music...

    1. Hell, we can do about anything we want at our age and get away with it! :) One redeeming factor. :)

  10. Well, I will certainly keep that in mind - I haven't really tested that much except for my big mouth/typing fingers...there has to be some redeeming factor to getting old, I hope and pray ;)

    1. I hear that if you make 100, then you revert back to 18, so we better be watching our diet. :)

  11. We can even remember and enjoy this:

  12. From my observations of the 90-somethings, there is some amount of reversion back to Jr.High/High School days - just how much do we really change or is our true character just more obvious because we are losing those filters that help us give a hoot what anyone else thinks of us?

    1. Indeed, wish that would do it for me, but at least I'm not as bad as one I remember who needed a case before he could.

  17. So, you are saying we should go find Daryl in more than the virtual sense ;) ? I can only speak for myself who has been in deep hiding for a long time, predictable, reliable, blah blah blah - So, I'll DRIVE !

    ReplyDelete
  18. You are probably right - my singing leaves much to be desired, too, so that won't help. (

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, I hope I do get to hear you singing and dancing around the campfire ;)

    1. I'll be sitting sipping another beer while Dixie has marshmallows roasting in the fire. :)

  20. I guess I was doing some genetic-past thing there - yes, roasting marshmallows sounds much more reasonable. ;)

  21. Did you ever see this movie - Soldier in the Rain. Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen starred in it. Henry Mancini came to Bowling Green (where I was going to school) for a concert and said this was his favorite tune he wrote - I like it a lot, too.

  28. here I am in my kitchen making some lamb meatballs and listening to Getaway Car - Perfect !

    ReplyDelete
  29. if you love lamb, you would like these I betcha ;) I can hardly ever find lamb here for some strange reason. All that is typically available is ground lamb, so I learned about baked meatballs. Pretty simple and none of that pesky stovetop splattering. Michigan is a major lamb-producing state - must all be going to the Middle East. ( Silence of the Lambs....

  41. it sure was - if you look not so hard, they have another version of the same song with some very erotic pictures to go along with the words.. FYI

  42. In the interest of full disclosure - I am drinking some nice wine, reminiscing too much, so judgment is a bit impaired. Hope you don't mind.... so here is another one I liked from that same era:

    1. Sure remember this, needless to say. I was back in the states until I returned to Vietnam in '73 and stayed until the end. I had a '72 VW camper which I took from California to Virginia for the summer which had a large flower as a tire cover on the front. :) Wow, remember turning a corner in Mississippi and seeing a "Mammy" fishing by the side of the creek, so stopped and had a delightful afternoon. Too bad it's not like that anymore.

  43. I am already back there... here is not good.... back there IS good.... at least that's how I feel right now... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I can just picture your van with the flower on the tire cover. I finally bit the bullet and got a new vehicle - it has a one of those tire thingies on the back. In the spirit of Flower Power- Peace Brothers & Sisters -- I need to get something on there soon before I have to go to the Gulag....

    1. How about a six pack......:) ?

      http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=19&highlight=park+lanes
      We used to buy a pack of "Park Lanes" which had been carefully opened at the bottom without damaging the cellophane or wrapper, then removing the 20 cigarettes and emptying them of tobacco. Afterwards 18 were refilled with grass, twisted at the end, reinserted, then sealed at the bottom. We would buy them by the "six pack" which our Vietnamese supplier thought was hilarious! I can still vividly see his smiling face as we would approach with him saying, "Six pack, six pack six pack!" I believe we paid 20 cents US for a single pack.

    2. Well, now that is HOOT: true entrepreneurialism at its finest ;) - Oh, the Humanity - what about "Reefer Madness"??? - I don't smoke anything any more, but a nice little brownie might be good ;)

    1. There isn't much color change there, now in Northern Virginia and in the mountains of West Virginia where we go to my military school reunion, the third week in October can be perfect, but sometimes they haven't changed well then.

  63. So October will be a pretty busy month for you, too. I will miss it here in Michigan, which is usually quite lovely, but I will be Down Under where they are heading into Spring ;)

  71. 32 degrees here today, ice and snow started to melt - noticed something weird outside the back of my house - massive amount of water dripping down on the ground under the house siding...a broken pipe that froze and now thawed, so no water for however long it takes to get a plumber here. Hooo boy, bring on the getaway car. ;)

  72. I filled a bunch of jugs before I shut off the main water line, so that's good. More snow tonight. They finally cleared I-94 from that 200 car accident - took them 48 hours to open the road again. Some very bad hazardous materials must have been in those big trucks. Still haven't been told much in the news. No wine to comfort me, just some Schlitz a friend gave me for Christmas ;)
