Supper tonight is on the light side, meaning not very much. Just green beans
w/potatoes & onions and bit of ham and some warmed ham. Had a baked ham
in the freezer. Took it two days to defrost in the fridge. So will slice some of that
to go with the green beans.

We normally frown on alcohol at the diner, but if you keep it brief, and subdued, we might let you sneak a little bubbly, er, ginger ale in.

Nice shots!

Ginger ales all around it is then. The round is on me, everyone!

And thanks to all for the kind comments!

[locomutt]

Nice shots Chris,and since you're buying,I'll have a ginger ale also please.

Now Jim, it's about time the boss was in here! Boy, you ought to drop
by more often. We do miss our favorite (and only) boss.

I'll take a Fruit Smoothie for breakfast, a fruit smoothie for lunch, and a fruit smoothie for dinner, CW. Sounds excellent!

CW and Jen...Did you see the note in the paper just this week, Les Paul {Guitarist} is 90.....Didn't realize he was sill with us...His partner, Mary Ford passed away some time ago....Music from the same above era.

[CShaveRR]

Deja vu--

We've posted our rock star favorites here before. Any "newbies" remember Del Shannon? He was (alas!) my second cousin once removed.

Too hot to think about anything but a cool liquid breakfast!

[CShaveRR]

Pork and beans for lunch, Cher? [}:)]

In spite of the heat, I have to bike to work today (alternative: take the train and still walk a couple of miles). I plan on either a hot dog or a hamburger al fresco en route.

The school is Witworth College in Spokane and I spoke to soon about the food because dinner was almost inedible and they didn't have anything I liked for breakfest this morning. I am just at a sports camp the college is hosting so I have no idea if they are a good college or not (I think it might be some kind of religous college). Oh well, maybe I jinxed the food by saying it was good.

I knew Mary was gone, but didn't realize Les Paul was still around. I still don't know why someone would want to listen to today's music when music was so good back then. It made sense - maybe that is the problem.

Actually, to a certain extent they are. If you do force yourself to listen to pop radio, you'll often find remakes of golden oldies. What tickles me is that some of the young listeners probably have no idea exactly how old some of the songs really are.

Gramps: "Oh, yeah, sonny, I've heard that song! Your granny and I were listening to it when we made your mom.... Of course it wasn't that version, but..."

Good Morning all! Good day to just stay in AC and hang out in Diner with friends. Smoothies are going to be a hot item today CW ( sorry bout the pun ) Maybe fresh strawberry margaritas? The blender is going to be smokin' today.
[soapbox] - Hope to not ruffle feathers or fur. Music is such a commentary on a specific time in our society. The 50's and early 60's the music was about love and happiness, finding a girlfriend/boyfriend and generally happy. So were the times. The leave it to Beaver era. Late 60's early70's were about social upheaval (The song For What it's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield we were quoting a while back). The late 70's (disco) and early 80's were the "ME" era, all about me and overindulgence. Still not about happiness ( Gloria Gaynors " I Will Survive" ). Then the late 80's early 90's we went back to girlfriend/boyfriend but still with overindulgence. Trust me on this one [:-^]
(My heyday) Then in 90's along came grunge. The "I'm so angry at the world, am blaming my parents for everything that's wrong with me (instead of taking the blame myself). Note the popularity of the Jerry Springer type talk shows in the mid to late 90's.
I have to listen to some of this new stuff as I DJ on the side and must stay current on popular stuff. It makes me sick!!! All about death, unhappiness and hating my parents. Don't even let me start about Rap!
This is the reason the band doesn't play any music newer than 90. Life is too short to be ***ing all the time about stuff we have no control on. Let's just have fun and try to be happy, but unfortunately the record producers just stick to what is popular and makes them a boatload of money. Country music is the same, hence the Gretchen Wilson craze and all the resulting clones that are popping up. Pop music is the same, all the Britney Spears clones.
tree- yes that is the case, a vast majority of songs today are remakes. Not enough good songwriters out there and most song patterns and subjects have been covered. Little known factoid for around the water cooler. Every single chord pattern combination has already been put together. Beethoven did it! In his symphonies, he used every single chord combination possible, so see basically no NEW music patterns have been written since. To think Beethoven wrote the chord pattern to "Born to Be Wild" is scary.
Anyway, it's getting hot up here by the ceiling on my soapbox. I just wish we could go back to simpler times and happy music, and not have to worry about tommorrow.
Everybody stay [8D] It'll be hot in the beer tent tonight! Already 93 in the arbor! Willy

...Music of that era {50's}....was pretty music...Pleasant. Melodious. Lots of instrumentals, good sound.

Modelcar, hot in Hoosierland?

[xx(] I'll stick with Heavy Metal, thank you

[CShaveRR]

Ninety by noon--91 now; out in half an hour. Thank Goodness for a tailwind today--should make the pedaling easier.

[Modelcar]

Yeah Modelcar, I believe I do remember reading that he turned 90 last week.
I also didn't realize he was still alive. Speaking of someone turning, 90, I
have a 2nd cousin who turned 100 years old yesterday. Her family is
having a 100th birthday celebration for her tomorrow. Just think of the
stories she could tell all of us!!
