CRISPINS CRITTERS

[AU24K]

As I mentioned earlier, when I went to get 4 more ribbon tats, I took in 3 albums to play. I just got them back today.
I was assured that they were appreciated!

They were played as I was inked, reading a coin magazine.

Here's a song from one of the albums....



Another selection?

OK.



One more?

So be it!



What albums will I take from my collection when I go to get inked next time?

Best,

Scott

Here's a few ideas....


Not the "Butcher Block" album cover, yet highly collectible.


Or...


The First Beatles album. Again, highly collectible....


Or this, my Favorite Doobie Brothers album....




Perhaps y'all have heard of the song, "Cocaine," performed by Eric Clapton.
Here's the album of the guy who wrote the song, J. J. Cale.

He also wrote, "Call me the Breeze.."



But for pure "Rock and Roll," perhaps this will be included....






Can anyone tell me the name of this band before they recorded this album?

Hint....
"Feel so bad. Feel like a ball game on a rainy day."
"All aboard the Hellbound Train."

Another hint?

How about two?






Scott

Gotta make the old vinyl sing to me, dig?

 

[AU24K]

Of course, I have several Heart and Reo albums.
A possible inclusion is Boston's third and final album....

A tune from that album....



Boston has always been a part of my life....
From their first album, a tune that I played every morning. LOUD as I made my coffe and my way towards the day....
Sometimes I thought that I would blow my amp....



To the song that guided my progress forward....



I have all 3 albums.....

My Landlord is off racing this weekend and I've been charged with taking care of Alice and Olive for the weekend.
Time to check in on the girls to make sure that they have plenty of food and fresh water.

Be Well, my Friends!

Best,

Scott

Tomorrow...I mean today, is it that time again?
It is supposed to be full of rain.
Perhaps an opportunity to practice tactical shooting...
Or an opportunity to work on domestic responsibilities...

If I had my "Druthers...."

Dang!
I got 1500-1600 rounds....But....Sheesh....


Best,

Scott

I think I finally found where all the insomniacs go at night, right here. I fit right in with all the sleepless vets who on a good night might get 4 hours of sleep. Recovering from a knee replacement two weeks ago, gave me time to read through this thread. I started reading it at 3 this morning.

 

[releventchair]

I'm no vet..
Only a couple hours sleep though from damage a decade or so ago. And the after effects.
Then time to take care of the dogs.
They let me know when they're ready to start their day.

lookingharder,

Welcome aboard....we're a safe harbor or port in the storm for those who enjoy music, banter and sometimes just outright foolishness.

Scott,
I was fortunate to have seen Cream live at the old Montreal forum back in the day.
Quite the show with the first supergroup ever.

As I mentioned earlier, when I went to get 4 more ribbon tats, I took in 3 albums to play. I just got them back today.

Scott,

I agree with your position. It seems more and more in todays world everyone and I mean everyone tends to point the finger at society as a whole for shortcomings or else play the victim card rather than owning up to be responsible for our actions and those under our care or in our closer circle.

I didnt have a perfect upbringing but I did learn the difference between right and wrong, respect your elders, never lie or steal or intentionally hurt others, etc....

I did some foolish things in my life as Im sure most of us did but for the most part the damage was to myself and not to others such as to much partying in my youth, etc...

Regards + HH

I have a question to pose for your opinion.

As you know, I follow the news of my hometown.
Back in October, 3 men shot and killed 3 other people, one was an innocent bystander.
This is BIG news in my hometown.

One person posted this in the "comments" at the end of the article in the online version of the local newspaper....

Ya'll with no compassion (which I'm seeing in the Facebook comments)... On one hand, I get it. The triple loss of life is a tragedy that cannot be described in words (the frequency of tragedies like this should never allow us to become apathetic).But also remember: we as the adults of this society failed these young boys, or whoever was ultimately responsible.We failed as policymakers, as educators, as media creators, as citizens whose duty it is to create a society that does not do violence to its children.No child is born with an intention to kill. All children who grow up to commit violence did so because of a toxic culture, a culture without enough guides, without enough safety and security, without enough positive environmental influences, without meaningful rites of passage to guide our youth into adulthood. We failed them. It is true that we are also the product of the wisdom and foolishness of our elders, and what they transmitted to us wasn't enough to prevent more tragedies like this. But somehow, we must resolve to do better.We must live and care as if every child is our own.

I then felt compelled to reply...

Tim, you fail to mention, in all of your blame shifting to everyone else, the real individuals responsible for the failing of these defendants reaching adulthood: Their parents.
If, as a member of society, as you so state, one was to show discipline to these men as a child when they erred, one would be subject to the penalties of the law and the disdain of others as a "meddler." Once, several years ago, if an adult, such as a neighbor, an educator, etc were to encounter a juvenile acting in a behavior that was unacceptable to society, a swat to the bottom and contacting the parents would have assured a correction to the negative behavior. However, in our society now, that option is no longer feasible. Therefore, more responsibility must be assumed by the parent. Unfortunately, there is a growing lack of parental responsibility for various reasons that I will not go into because we all know of those reasons. So, I agree that violence should never be done to children, but, the bulk of responsibility to correct adverse behavior lies primarily with the parents, not society as a whole.

My question is...Am I off base? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for y'all's opinions.

Scott

Folks,

It's pretty tough for any group to come close to Pink Floyd on this number. But to be fair this is a decent rendition.

Joke of the day —A general noticed one of his soldiers behaving oddly. The soldier would pick up any piece of paper he found, frown and say: "That's not it" and put it down again. This went on for some time, until the general arranged to have the soldier psychologically tested. The psychologist concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the army.

The soldier picked it up, smiled and said: "That's it."

 

[Togreenfeet]

Lookingharder WELCOME !!

2GF,
Thanks for the chuckles he outfoxed the psychiatrist I bet Crispin would get a chuckle out of that one...lol.

Hello, today is Mardi Gras. Yesterday the Robins were in the yard and they had a friend, a Cardinal, go figure. Today I awoke to late to see any so I took the picture anyway. Please note the green spots.
