CRISPINS CRITTERS

Here's a tune by a Bluesman from about 1931-1932.



I have a 78 rpm copy of this on the "Paramount" label.
Listed at about $200.
This is a fairly rare recording and I have turned down several offers to buy it for more than it's listed value.
Think I'll put it on the spinning platter tonight and hear my copy once more....
And then, turn it over and hear "Part 2."

I have collected early blues 78 records for years...
I have many....
Ever hear of "Kokomo Arnold," "Blue Belle," "Butterbeans and Susie" or "Big Bill Broonzy?"

Yeah, my musical "roots" go way back....

Best,

Scott

From the movie, "Crossroads."

Friends,

There have been times that I was not doing so well in my life.
As I have mentioned, I frequently found my dinner from dumpsters behind restaurants.
I have lived in my car for weeks.
I had no money, no food, no hope....

But, I kept on looking forward.
There were some who saw my plight and chose to help me.

No, not a "hand-out," a "Hand-up."

Now days, things are going pretty good for me.
I have a job at a major food supplier to restaurants and can buy cases of food at cost.
Having been hungry in my life, I can tell you that my freezer is full.

Frequently, the company that I work for, has orientations, Driver appreciations and other reasons to prepare food for small company events.
Most times, more is prepared than is consumed.

The "left-overs" are then thrown away.

I'll tell you that when I was struggling, broke and hungry, I would surely hit that dumpster!

Perhaps, if you know how ole Scotty thinks, you can see what I'm thinking....

I am a valued member of the Company and I'm not afraid to talk to the "Head Honcho" about providing the left overs to those in need.

I can talk with the Vet Rep at the Department of Labor because I'm sure that he knows of Vets who go to bed hungry every night.
I can also talk with Judge Roberts of Veterans Court for I'm sure that he also knows of the needs of Vets.

In other words,
Good food should not go to waste.
If, through my efforts, even one Vet could eat tonight,
Why not two? Or three? Or...

Please keep me in mind as I try to find an answer in my efforts.

Hope all are well...

Scott

I have an idea about working with the Company President and the Vet Rep
at the Department of Labor to have a lunch to promote Hiring Vets....
As a Vet, I understand the "Chain of Command."

In this setting, it should probably go with first visiting the HR Director. (The Lady who is a cousin of Dennis DeYoung of Styx...)
But instead, I will go to the president, walk into his office and say, "Do you have a moment to talk with a Vet employee?"

"Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)"

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
When happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

Of the many Stxy concerts I've been to and the many bootleg tapes that I certainly have somewhere around here,
I surely will find one to play for my own pleasure and memory....​

MY! Look at the time!

Is it late? Or is it early?

Perhaps to some, like myself, time is irrelevant....
A clock only measures one's time left....
I follow no such clock. Dig?

Joke of the day —The maid asked her boss, the wife for a raise, and the wife was upset.
The wife asked, "Now, Helen, why do you think you deserve a pay increase?"

Helen: "There are three reasons. The first is that I iron better than you."

Wife: "Who said that?"

Helen: "Your husband."

Wife: "Oh."

Helen: "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."

Wife: "Who said that?"

Helen: "Your husband."

Wife: "Oh."

Helen: "The third reason is that I am better at sex than you."

Wife: "Did my husband say that as well?"

Helen: "No, the gardener did."

Wife: "So, how much do you want?"

I’m here at the hospital. My wife was admitted yesterday. She has a nonmalignant brain tumor which causes migraines. I’m sitting in her room. She’s having a heart catheter right now. So this lady comes by, asks if we could pray. Hey I’m all about that. Lord we lift Elizabeth up in prayer she says......... That’s not my wife’s name.........
 

i hope she will be alright i will be praying
