JUST BECAUSE I COULD GEORGE:))

Been a while since I've seen a clear blue sky without a cloud to be seen.  Today was that day.  It was a good morning to head off to Jerry Raders in Zurich to pick up some yummy supplies, a free piece of Saturday morning pie, and a turkey salad sandwich to share with my Pal.  Slipped around Clinton to pop into a store I hadn't been in for a long time.  Why??  Just because I could George:))  A gas stop, another stop, and home we went.  And hey, how great to have January behind us eh.

HOW UPLIFTING TO SAY A CLEAR BLUE SKY TODAY

Al's Music Box:)) Shake Rattle and Roll is a song written in 1954 by Jesse Stone (usually credited as "Charles Calhoun", his songwriting name) and first recorded that year by /Big Joe Turner, whose version ranked No. 127 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.  In early 1954, Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records suggested to Jesse Stone that he write an up-tempo blues for Big Joe Turner, a blues shouter whose career had begun in Kansas City before World War II. Stone played around with various phrases before coming up with "shake, rattle and roll". (Stone used his real name for ASCAP songs while using the pseudonym "Charles Calhoun" for BMI-registered songs, such as "Shake, Rattle and Roll").  However, the phrase had been used in earlier songs. In 1910, vaudeville performer Baby Franklin Seals published "You Got to Shake, Rattle and Roll", a ragtime tune about gambling with dice, in New Orleans; in 1919, Al Bernard recorded a version of the song.  Bill Haley & His Comets recorded a cover version of the song on June 7, 1954, the same week Turner's version first topped the R&B chart. The Comets provided the instrumental accompaniment: Johnny Grande on piano, Billy Williamson on rhythm guitar, Marshall Lytle on bass, and Joey Ambrose on saxophone. Haley's version was released in August and reached number seven on the Billboard singles chart, spending a total of twenty-seven weeks in the Top 40.  

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Many years ago, in the South Pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as token of their love and respect for him.  And each year, the King would put last years gift up in the attic of his small grass house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of the large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to collapse down on the King.  Moral to the story is: He who lives in grass house, shouldn't stow thrones.

A wife started doing her makeup as soon as she woke up.  Her husband asked the reason.
She replied, "I have locked my phone with facial recognition and it's not recognizing me without makeup."

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."  The husband said, "You are in charge of the cooking around here so you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."His wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides it says in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that! Show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says, "HEBREWS."
