Bryan Cranston rocks, not in 'Godzilla' tho' !!

Greetings World's !!

I was not going to post anything today...... but - I've been playing some Cd's & it's got me to wondering, about "things" that have happened in the past & how those "things"  have stayed with me, over the years. First tho' the family.

As I type, My Wife & Dearest Friend, B - well.... she was here, baking some fresh cakes - the smell is brilliant - and now, she has gone upstairs, to try & find her floor. By that - I mean she has gone into her "Craft Cave" and is trying desperately, to tidy things away !!

I've told her, to take over my room... once I've finished boxing stuff up & put the shelves, up onto the wall - but, so far, she is staying put. My room, well, it's twice as big as her's - especially once everything has been put, or thrown, away....... but... !!

As for the rest of the family - well, that's the same as yesterday's post.... but, I'm sure we'll get to see them sooner, rather than later. I'm not sure what shifts, our Daughter, ME is working this week, but - we'll see them, when they have time & can make it over here. I'm pretty sure, that we will see them, this coming week.... Oh well.

Right, back to the above.... and the stuff, that has stayed in my mind, memories, that - for better or worse - I can not really forget about. I'm not going to go thru' them all - just a couple, that have stayed with me & I've thought about, this past few days.

Going back, to the last time, we went into town...... I had a copy of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'One More From The Road' playing in the car. It took me back, to that day, in 1977 - when, as I was driving home from work, I heard on the news, that the band had been in a plane crash & several of the guys had died.

It wasn't just that... but, that night, John Peel started his Friday night show, with 'Free Bird' and I just broke down & really wept !! I know, it's really dumb - but, that band meant sooooo much to me, their plane crash really got to me.... especially with JP playing 'Free Bird' the way he did.

Staying with John Peel..... as you all probably know, he passed away, several years ago now. Well, on the day of his funeral - which I honestly had plans to attend - I was back in the hospital, having one of my many scans.

This particular day - well, this Doctor took B & myself, into a little room & told us, that I was probably going to die, by that night, sometime !! The scan had thrown something up & the Dr. was convinced that I was on my way out !! Boy - was he ever wrong !! But - the 2 things, came to mind.....Oh well, life is good & I'm still here !!

Sooooo - that's just a couple of the things, that have gone thru' my mind, over the last couple of days... nothing too special, but - had I not played that Skynyrd album, well - they just came back, to my old & knackered out mind !!

Talking of old & knackered stuff.....

As I type, over on the right, I have the TV silently playing the 'Godzilla' DVD. It's the one that came out, just a couple of years back & has Bryan Cranston, as the main star..... it's really crap !! It was knocked down, price wise, in the supermarket & that's the only reason I bought it. But, it's really bad !! Nevermind..... I'll chalk it up, to one of my many mistakes !!

As for the music of the moment - well, that's another Allman Brothers concert. This one is from their Wanee Music Festival shows & was recorded on April 11th 2014.... the music tracks are:

CD 1

1) Statesboro Blues
2) Midnight Rider
3) No One To Run With
4) Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home
5) Jessica

CD 2

1) Who's Been Talking
2) Franklin's Tower
3) The Sky Is Crying

CD 3

1) Soulshine
2) In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed
3) JaMaBuBu
4) In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed - reprise
5) Southbound

As I've mentioned before, I'm playing all of the 2014 concerts, that came in the box set & it's really been a bit fun !! To listen to all of the concerts & to hear the various tracks, played differently - it's well good !!

Right - my plans for the rest of the day...... as usual, none at all !! I need to get some pain killers into me, sooner or later - I think I'll be glad when all of the next surgery is out of the way !! I know - I've said all of this before.... but, what the heck - I might be 11th time lucky !! Well.... something like that !!

Must go.... as always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words... until next time...

Bye Bye
