Nuthin' but da blues.........
msattler:
Sorry for the sprocket noise........but this is affirmation of what I spoke about earlier.
I am sooooooooooo far from my home. About 500 miles........
Again......sorry for the noise in the background.

Kinda wish I would have gotten some comments from somebody about some things I have posted in the last 30 posts or so.......LOL.
But......I do understand. This is not the Seti Cafe, and most of your are (thankfully so) engaged in more constructive pursuits than listening to the kittyman's musical rants and raves.......LOL.
As you were..............

When I was some 30 years younger, I always dreamed about hitting the lottery (don't we all), and opening up a blues bar to beat all...........
Although I am not known by it much on the boards, my nickname of 33 years or so is.....Harvey. It's on my answering machine at home...'This is Mark, or Harvey, depending on who is calling..........'.
Anyways..........I was gonna call it "Harv's House of Blue Lights".
From an obscure Aussie band........our theme song.
Moose Malone...

And there were many other fine versions done as well......
Asleep At The Wheel...probably my fav.

Ella Mae Morse......from 1945.

So........y'all come on down.......
To Harv's House of Blue Lights.
Music's good, the beer is cold, and we won't kick most of you out 'till closing time.
LOL.

I go back again.........
What some of you will never understand is my love of the musical idols that I learned in my long gone youth.......
As I get older and they pass before me, one by one, I am lessened by their every loss.
Stevie Ray, Les Paul, and so many others. I can not withstand their loss without being lessened myself.
The largest piece of myself I have had to try to let go of was the loss of Mary Allin Travers.
She had been with me since I can remember being a young lad. My Dad introduced us and love was born.
A simple love, a platonic love, of course, but love her I always did.
When it came to pass that she did......a large piece of me went with her.
I was always that kid she sang about in Puff............never wanting to leave Cherry Lane......I just woke up one day, and life was different.
Must have something to do with my love of kitties........because kitties never have to grow up until the day they die.....they just are always kitties.
So.....pardon me whilst I stroll once again down the lane I will too, always wander about when I get sad.........

Now I think I understand my place.........
I'm the dang right fielder.......
Somebody who tries with all their might
but can't get it right. Right field.
I have been maligned by some.........but I shall prevail.
Just come and talk to me some day. I'll be here.....out in right field.

I can so very much associate with this song........
It happened to me in real life. I was, and still am, the slowest, the last to catch on.
One day, out in a grass field where we had made a baseball game some 30 years ago.......the same thing went on......choosing teams. I was always last.
And there I was in right field. The popop came, and unfortunately, I did not have Stookey's luck.
I lost it in the sun, and it hit me right in the eye. Knocked me out cold.
So, you see, I know what this song is about.
