” I was born in 54 and couldn’t sleep without a radio playing”

Ha! I was born in ‘46. My Mom would put me in the playpen, and I’d shake the bars and scream until she put a stack of piano Boogie Woogie 78s on the record player. She had to keep turning the stack over all day, or I’d scream bloody murder! And they wonder why I became a musician?

Although its venom is highly toxic, it is being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments. The spider's bite can cause an erection that sometimes lasts for up to four hours.

... or maybe longer if you get bit.

We oughta talk some time. My wife and I just got back from a road trip down to Yosemite, about 2500 miles with nothing but “50s 0n 5” and “60s on 6” playing on Sirius. I don’t believe they played more than half a dozen songs I didn’t know the lyrics to. Plus a lot of stuff about who wrote the song, names of group members, little bits of trivia. I don’t know no trigger-nometry or what a gerund is or what I had for lunch yesterday but I know oldies but goodies. Not bragging. I’m no idiot savant, just an idiot.

I sing very well and can play drums well enough to fill in if there is not a drummer present. I have excellent rhythm but I never mastered an instrument. :(
