The pic of TT you are using is just terrific, Sis.
Today was not so great for me.
The RSD is bad today..
and my heart aches.

Nothing makes a song writer happier than getting a TV theme because the cash register really rings. Here is how Phil Sloan tells it.
A hit TV show from England by the name of Danger Man was coming to America the following year (1966). CBS asked a number of publishers, probably, to come up with a 15 second theme to replace the British theme song. I wrote the guitar lick and the first few lines. My writing partner Steve Barri helped here and there on the chorus. Went to the demo studios. And I thought that was that. No, it wasnt. Somebody thought I should do a full length instrumental of the song. So I did. Meanwhile the song was picked by CBS, and Johnny Rivers recorded the quick 15 second song for the TV show. The Ventures, the genius guitar instrumental group, heard the demo and recorded and released the song way before Rivers even had a finished song. The publishers asked me to finish the song, Rivers recorded it not one of his favorite songs back then, but hes happier with it now. I was honored when Hank Williams Jr. recorded it and blown away when Devo did it at a time when I really needed it. I really wish to thank all the artists who have recorded it, including Blues Traveler. Its a wonderful feeling to meet a younger person who knows and likes that song of mine.

I feel the same way Tas. Exactly. So, fine I guess. :D
To: MS.BEHAVIN
Thanks, Sis! I smile when I see it and remember the great time we had at the blues fest that first night together. Ah, the memories we have......
I’m so sorry about the pain you are having. I think we both share the heartache along with many others here.
((((hugs))))

This song was written by Andre and Dory Previn while they were still married. Shortly after, Andre left her for Mia Farrow.

I got my tomatoes in late.. They finally started coming on in the late fall.
Had to pick them green to keep the frost from getting them.
You could make 1 raised bed for maters...so you could control the soil.
I think about your incendiary canning experience often.

Today was a mixed bag; my son called me early, told me to get ready, we were heading out for a bit. I asked where and he said he wasn't sure yet....so an adventure in the making.
We went to the County Offices, the State Building, the police station, the bank, a super market, the bank again and then home. Geez Louise....all the places I've dreamt of going....in nightmares. But WTH, it's Friday the Thirteenth.
Good to see my son has a sense of humor and good to hang out with him.
