Great balls of fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

Well, the weather turned out better than forecast. Rain ended by noon and the clouds broke this afternoon. Got in a nice walk to break in my new shoes even.

And came up with a new story for the comp. Just starting on it now. It's more complete in my head than the previous attempt so this is the one that might stick. Even if it is a bit on the weird side. Okay, probably a lot, but we'll see how it comes out in the end.

Every Time You Go Away - Paul Young

Wise men gave Jesus gifts.

Back to Bond, but this actually appeared at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service after the murder of Bond's wife Tracey (Diana Rigg). Appropriately, it's rather soft and sombre and plays on the line he says to her as she is dying.

(a fan video using clips from the movie)

EDIT: One more note: This was one of Satchmo's last recordings and he was actually too sick to play the trumpet solos so someone else does (not sure who). His vocals are spot on, though.

Rattle and Hum (hoping concert films are okay)

Ferret

6546 (drummers play their tunes with sticks)

Helpful advice comes from experts.

Prince of Darkness

Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas

Well, I hope somebody out there is getting sun because we sure aren't. Downright miserable out there today. And not supposed to let up until mid-week, either. Oh well, saves watering the lawn and helps gets my various plants in shape before things get dryer in the summer.

Putting on some Fire-Roasted Spring Fling medium roast in the coffee pot. Teas are Canadian Breakfast and Raspberry Royale. Cold drinks all looking good. Hot water is on for other teas and hot chocolate.

Working away on my probably, hopeful comp entry but LibreOffice (my tool of choice) wants an update first.

After some big time teasing from Nightwish this week, someone has figured out that they were likely teasing something to do with their next album happening Tuesday (4/30/24 was the date being teased in a puzzling way). No idea what. Could be a date for the album, date for first single, teaser for first single or ... well, we're all waiting to see what comes.

For now, we have plenty to enjoy until they drop that new album.

Misunderstanding is failure of communication.

New St. Vincent (stage name of singer-guitarist-songwriter Annie Clark) album dropped today. Quite fond of her for a few years now.

After The Love Is Gone - Earth, Wind, & Fire

Bighorn Sheep

I have actually seen these when travelling out West.

I wanted to let you all know that in the edit boxes or even making threads, you might see words wordings split to the next line in random places. They are sorting it and it appears normal when you hit enter/submit. I just wanted to give you all a heads-up in case it has looked weird. It's not you.

I have noticed and just not got around to reporting since, as you say, it sorts itself once submitted.

FYI, if you haven't noticed, WG's story is back up. And it is a good one. Do read. Funny thing, as I commented on the story, is that I didn't know the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel was actually that old and I have been through it. As mentioned in other discussions, I live a couple hours from Windsor and we often fly out of Detroit.

The story is actually only shown as a draft via Molly’s link above. It isn’t shown on the front page either.

Um, that is weird. Drafts should not be visible to outside people even through a link, should they? Even mods should only see them once they are submitted.

World of wonders awaits imagination.

Roy Scheider: We're gonna need a bigger coffee pot.

Time for some inspiration of the black, caffeinated kind. Could be some dark roast coffee, if that floats yer boat. Or some Scottish Breakfast or Russian Caravan tea.

We also have our cold beverages for those who prefer that. Iced tea, lemonade, and an assortment of sodas (cola, ginger ale, lemon-lime, cream soda, root beer, and more, all in both sugar and diet).

I have a beginning and an ending. That accounts for about 500 words. Now I need a middle to connect them. That'll be the other 4500, assuming I can figure out what the heck is supposed to be happening in this story. Right now, it's a bit of a mystery, even to me.

Don't see Writergirl's story back yet. Hope this is fixable soon.

Swiss metal band Ad Infinitum with an intriguing new track that comes on heavy but shows a lighter side towards the end. And lead singer Melissa Bonny (who is also the main songwriter since the band started as a solo project) is perfect all through.
