Good Evening, Connie!

And good evening all you wacky Canteen people!

Today is Martin_Fierro’s FReeper Anniversary, and I wished him congrats on his anniversary thread - not realizing that today was MY anniversary as well!

Has it really been 12 years!?

What a ride it’s been - from that horrible day in September, to the war chronicles, to Sarge’s Most Excellent Adventure, joys and losses and victories, and a wedding by the sea. I’m so glad you’re all still here.

Here’s to many more years to come!

[ConorMacNessa]

Congratulations to both of you fine gents! I hope you both remain here for many more years!

Do you remember my story about my friend Charlie in 1968, the one whom I set straight on who would be the nominees in that year’s presidential race and who would win? In October 1970, when Janis Joplin died of an overdose, Charlie was stunned. “I always knew she was a juicer, but I never thought she was into the hard sh!t,” he said in shock. Heroin was her final poison, not Southern Comfort.

Kris Kristofferson never got the credit he deserved, either as an actor or a songwriter. Roger Miller had been first to record this song, but it was Janis who made it immortal. It came in at #6 this week.

Janis Joplin: “Me and Bobby McGee”

It was ‘68 or ‘69, I think, that I attended a rock concert in Atlanta. Janis was stumbling around the stage with her fifth of Southern Comfort in her hand and spitting it on the people in the front of the stage. They were holding their mouths open trying to get some of the Southern Comfort. I have never laughed as hard as I did that night and am laughing at the memory.

Thank you!

[luvie]

That statement is kind of a conundrum...or something. LOL!

But I hope you will all be back together soon. :)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Laplata! Great to see you this evening!

”Lovers and Other Strangers” gave Diane Keaton, Richard Castellano and Bea Arthur to the world, although the movie has been largely forgotten over the decades. This song was used in the wedding scene, and Richard Carpenter thought it would be perfect for him and his sister. It came in at #5 this week.
