Joanne Woodward Videos

Here s Part Eight of the 2008 Tribute/Memorial series interrupted by my not going to the station for a while. And a friend of the station died last year, Paul Newman- his wife Joanne Woodward an even bigger friend who would do a lot of stuff for us at Christmas. Remember the group The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown? Well I had a memory of them doing a song on an album, the most unlikely song you could imagine them doing, you would not believe it. Turned out my memory was correct, and the LP was called Strangeland. In this episode you will hear it- and it relates to our Memorial. Now I said last time that this was broadcast back in July, and in fact it was the nearest show to the 40 Year Anniversary of the Moon Landing in 1969. I was in the midst of my Space series here, so it wasn t heard then but will be now. This time I thought I d take a look at the moon using Sexy Singers. Hearing the show now, I realize that I never identified them, as we were running late. So, they are Tanya Tucker and Tom Jones. That s about all you need to know- more than you need to know- to enjoy this one. This series is not morbid nor maudlin, it is rather a celebration of the lives of those we lost in the previous year- in this case 2008. Sort of an Irish Wake! At least SOME of these people should have touched you in some way, shape or form, and made your life a bit happier and more pleasant. I will be dealing with the notable or should be noted. For the musical folks who passed on, they are deserving of one more play, at the very least. And we will deal with other cultural figures as well, with some hopefully appropriate music for them. You are welcome, encouraged even, to anticipate or second-guess my own musical choices! In this eighth episode, those selected are: Paul Newman Nick Reynolds (Kingston Trio) Jody Reynods (and relates to Arthur Brown, but not Nick, lol) Neil Hefti (Songwriter) Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops) They can’t give any more than they have already given us.

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you this week by O boys and Curtis Earth Trivia. Two great tastes! Ross came in a little late this week but all he missed in the notes was some talk about him being late But we don t blame him too much, after all the night before was his birthday party where trivia and beer abounded! He came in and jumped right on his job and then handed out beer. That took away a bit of the pain of him being late. Good call, Ross! Geoff, Mickey and I (not J) got him some funky beer from Total Wine which is a mecca of alcohol! Thank god for dear friends having birthdays so we could check out this place. And thank god for those dear friends sharing it with us. Speaking of dear friends, we sure do miss the hell out of one big bastard. Come home lil doggy! Have you ever had sun tea? It s a tradition or a staple what is that word? Well, we do it here in the south! You take tea but instead of making it inside you put it outside in the sun. My mom used to do this all the time but I didn t like tea at the time. Why don t northerners make sun tea? They still could, for a few weeks each August? I guess we just do it more often here since we can do it all but a week in January and a week in February. And in other things the south just does better (yes, I m trying to rile you all up, come on Yankees!) At Ross s party we had a thing called a rib nibbler. They were little bite size chunks of rib (bone-in) and they were GOOD. I didn t try the ribs but from what I hear these were better than their specialty of baby back ribs! They didn t even need any dressing. Speaking of dressing, Paul Newman died. I d say it was bad that current generations knew him more for his salad dressing but he has stated that he enjoyed that more and he made more money for it so good for him! We did lose a good liberal in that man though. RIP Mr Newman. I thought I had finally found something to pick on Ross for as there was no music listed but then I remembered from listening live Saturday from 1-4 PM Eastern, that there was no music as we had a twitter pal of Ross call in! Thanks for the great call Mister32. Related articles by Zemanta Farewell Paul Newman
