The Sweet Voice Of

Eddie Holman...do you remember "Hey There Lonely Girl"...pretty much a 70's classic that had a lot of people singing very high soon after...he was a lead singer for some other groups and then went his solo way...had some other hittish songs, but none like his famous one...he's still a singing and is a Baptist Minister, to boot....BUT...did you know the song was really, "Hey There Lonely Boy" and he changed it?  Yup, so true...it was originally put out by this little group with a humongous smash "Our Day Will Come"...Ruby and the Romantics...in fact, I had this album and I think Snook stole it from me...I digress...disc it up if you can find it...and tell me if it's not one of the top 100 of all time...

Voices of the Everly Brothers...in their prime went in to the army and put the duo's hits on hold...never really recovered...BUT...had a boat load of big ones prior...the best?  "All I Have To Do Is Dream"...top ten ever...but, had some others, "Cathy's Clown", "Walk Right Back", lead the pack...Cris and I saw them perform in Anaheim when he was going to Pomona College, back in "02 or so...the harmony was still there and it was a surprise of nice dimensions...seems like a good group to come to Humphrey's...

OK, I know these are so way back, most of you have no clue to what I am writing about...but let's be clear...the melodies were dynamite and are worth you finding them on itunes...and it'll only cost you $1.29 a song...you'll be happy you did...

The news around here centers on the building of a new Charger's stadium....the hot rumor is that LA is going to build one...and then they will come...the Bolts...really?  In this day and age...it seems like a huge gamble...well, enter the SD Mayor, Jerry Sanders...who's doing everything he can to keep 'em....he's going on a 3 city tour of the latest built NFL teams...it's in the plans to erect the structure here in downtown...around 14th or so...I think...it'll happen and this city continues to grow...

Growing up with three older sisters put the music of the Everly brothers in my ears often. Phil and Don had unique harmonies that were easy to listen to. According to Keith Richards, their guitar tuning and playiing were just as unique and copied by many.
Didn't steal Ruby and Romantics but Our Day will Come is a great song. Bobby Caldwell does a nice remake of it.
How about your girl Bachman wishing Elvis happy birthday on the day he died. How can anybody vote for this imbecile?
Watched the Ducks practice Tue. Recievers and running backs galore.
Offensive Line ?

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
