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 ?

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
