Thanks, LJ...
Who wants to be declared nuts? The little men with the little white coats will come and take you away if that happens, and then you'll lose out on all the fun you have with your FRiends!!
You keep that wonderful sense of humor going, and nothing is ever going to get you down!
See ya later gang!
Hugs alla round!
Ms.B

Okay, back in a bit!

Hi there! How are ya today?
Thanks for your request! I will play for you shortly.
Oh, I already did. Scrambled eggs with bits of pepper and onion, fresh tomato (nice and ripe!), and a few cups of coffee. Yummy! I'm totally out of any type of bread, too lazy to make biscuits (don't need 'em anyhow), and don't have any meat. Guess I'll have to make a grocery run sometime. Ugh!
Mornin', HiJinx and Kathy!
It's good to see you. I hope you have a great weekend!

A little background on Fats Domino:
The "black" neighborhood in New Orleans where Fats Domino grew up was only about four blocks from my house. In my pre-teen years before he made the big time he used to drive through the neighborhood in a ( real, ) wood-paneled station wagon with these big, grey PA type speakers that looked like megaphones, on the roof. He had "Fats Domino" painted on the sides of the wagon, ( some of the wood panels were rotting out. ) ( Kids, ask Kathy what a station wagon is and if there really were station wagons with real wood paneling. ) :-) These speakers were blaring out his then unknown music.
Everytime he passed we would wave. He would wave back and that infectious smile would light up his face.
The house he grew up in was literally a "shack." However, when he made the big time he remained, ( I suppose one could say, ) "true" to his "people." ( Also, after he made the big time he got rid of the station wagon and opted either for a Cadillac or a chauffeur-driven limosine, depending upon his mood each day. ) :-)
The house he built was gaudy, huge, terribly out-of-place and all colors of pastel BUT, in his old neighborhood.....among all of the black "shacks."
It was on Caffin Ave one block North of St. Claude Ave on the way toward Chalmette. There was a Piggly Wiggly on the corner of St Claude and Caffin Aves on the opposing corner of his house. I don't know if the house is still there because I haven't been down there in over 25 years or so.
Fats liked to gamble. The Las Vegas hotels used to LOVE to sign him to contracts because he would gamble away much more money than the contract was worth.
Semper ball-and-chain
