Hi, Kathy.

Having finished with the Brill Building songwriters, I'm researching the Fathers of Hot Country, which is turning into a rather convoluted tree with some surprising names on the branches. I may have to break this down into two or three weekly segments,

It keeps me busy.

[Kryn-Man]

This post just made my day. Thank you and May God Bless our Soldiers.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...having a nice day?

Sunny and melting again today, but VERY cold at night. Puddles are getting bigger, with no place to go. Slippery intersections and streets are getting worse.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Families, for your service to our country.

Thanks, unique, for the perfect woohoo.

Not such a great day today but that's another story.

Be careful navigating the puddles......they can be as bad as the ice.
