Then again, that kid on the porch swing in "Deliverance" did a pretty good job of it. <grin

Thank You mikeintexas for this blog. I tried playing the banjo but failed miserably.

I've just recently started listening to Travis again; I used to date a woman who said he "made her heart go pitty-pat". I wasn't jealous of him, just that she was insane and we had a horrible relationship and after we split (Thank God) everytime I heard him it made me think of her and I wanted to put her plumb out of my thoughts forever.

We played the slots this morning before we left, but only spent $55 between us. One of these days I'm going to hit the Blackjack table.

Thanks for commenting, Elizabeth. Yes, he certainly was and an under-appreciated one, too.

I knew Travis was in bad shape after his stroke? but thought he had mostly recovered. I listen to "Forever and Ever, Amen" fairly often, have most of his music in my mp3 jukebox. My grandmother loved Alabama and I bought her every cassette tape of theirs I could find. (this was before CDs became widespread) Her favorite was some collection of old Gospel tunes they had done. I couldn't have told you the name of the band members, though...hell, I have problems remembering just w... [ More ]

Thanks, carbob. I don't remember those guys mentioning balut, but I know about it from watching cooking/recipe videos. I'll try most anything, but believe I'd pass on that. That's gross, but the things the guys were talking about were more of a sexual nature.

Also, Randy Travis was in the audience, and Randy Owens went down and helped Randy Travis on to the stage. Poor guy is in bad health and they had to hold onto him. They sang the last verse of "Forever and Ever, and Travis finished with "Amen". What a touching tribute. All the old time country stars are getting old, (as am I). I've seen Alabama many times and can remember Randy Owens jumping around the stage like a lunatic, LOL. Last night he wasn't as energetic. Also, Jeff Cook has Parkins... [ More ]

Balut is a developing bird embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originated from and is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines.

Interesting story, carbob. What were those other two stars doing there? Were they with the show? Was that part of a USO tour? I used to roughneck with a couple of guys who had been stationed there in the P.I. and they got to telling Subic Bay stories one time, trying to out-gross ea. other. I don't know who won, but it sure as hell grossed ME out.

I was very fortunate to see him perform twice. One of the times was Clark AB, Philippines. He was performing Malaguena when one of his guitar strings broke. He sent an assistant to the VOQ for a spare. When the string arrived he started Malaguena over again, may have been his best performance of the song ever. Recognized a couple of the audience, person in black hat Little Jimmy Dickens and Ray Stevens.

It's not going to allow me to paste in the properly spelled name of the song, oh well.

"Yesterday When I Was Young" is a sad song. "Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

I was saddened to read that he had passed away. His voice wasn't nearly as strong in this clip as it was when he was younger, but he could still pick a mean guitar.
