The United States Armed Forces.

Born on this Day

best known outside blues circles for writing songs later covered by Elvis Presley such as "That's All Right Mama" and
"My Baby Left Me"


On this Day in History
79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire


On this Day in History
1814 British forces under General Robert Ross
sacked Washington, DC, burning the Capitol and White House

On this Day in History
1989 Gambling Pete Rose was permanently suspended from

Don't forget the syrup!

The Clapton one was one I had never heard before.

Mornin' Beachy!

Yep! I hadn't heard it either, but BraveMan sent me a bunch of Clapton covers of Robert Johnson songs. The album was called "Me & Mr. Johnson", and is on my list at cdconnection.com come payday.

Once again, BraveMan, thanks for a welcome addition to our blues line-up.

If I heard the BRAC deliberations correctly...Ft. Gillem doesn't get the axe it was going to...Ft. Monmouth is saved and so is Red River Army Depot.

Navy is up to present their arguements next.

Could this be considered "cruel & inhuman?"
