Got Seeds.....?

Harvest time for the ol' Sunflower crop this weekend.
Got some heads full of thousand of seeds for the taking.
Heads are bigger than a Size 13 Converse Hi-Top.

Outnumbered.....

Fell asleep last night watching Charlie Rose...
..and woke up watching this BBC sitcom called
"Outnumbered"

I hate TV sitcoms and couldn't tell you the difference
between a Will or a Grace.....
but this was well written and funny.

Laughed myself back awake again.

Janis slugged Jerry.....

and Jerry said....

"If you're gonna act like a man, I'm gonna treat you like one!"

...and punched her.

We Have a Wiener!!!

Mr. Daniel McNally
(who should be studying)
was this first in this week
with Mr. Motown.....Berry Gordy Jr.


I have a project only a few blocks from here.....
they have daily tours and I may have to
hit it next week when I return.

Paul McCartney visited last year when he toured here.....
and footed the bill to have the original Steinway Grand Piano refurbished.
It had to be put on a train to Steinway's factory in New York for the
year-long project....
it is to be unveiled in a few weeks.

Hard to believe the amount of music that came out of
"Studio A"
which is really just a house.....
Berry used to live upstairs.

Berry is the father of Redfoo
and the Grandfather of Skyblu....
(......go ask your kids!)

Opened in the late 50's through 1972....
started with $800.
It was open 22 hours a day and
closed for 2 hours for maintenance.

Have you ever heard of any of these?


A "few" more songs here.....
must have been a pretty cool block
back in the '60's.

Detropia.....

Interesting.....
I spend a lot of time here and am a fan of this city....
and although I'm not an Obama fan....
I can't imagine what would have happened
if the auto companies failed.

1,500,000+ population in the 70's.
700,000 now.

Detroit is a lot "closer" than you think....

Randy & Babs....

OK....
back in the saddle.

Maybe my favorite Randy Newman song....
which has been covered by the likes of.....
Peter Gabriel....
David Gray....
Neil Diamond....
....and even Leonard Nimoy is,
"I Think It's Going To Rain Today".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Think_It's_Going_to_Rain_Today

Ironically.....not one of Randy's favorites.
Barbra is coming out with an album in a few weeks that are older versions
of songs that she has had locked up in a vault until now.
"Release Me"
http://www.myplaydirect.com/barbra-streisand/details/27727570?cid=lg:vmq&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=barbrastreisand.com&utm_content=barbra%20preorder%20d2c%20promote&utm_campaign=barbra%20preorder%20d2c%20promote

Not a big Babs fan......
but this take from 1971,
with Randy on piano,
is pretty chilling.
