Laurie...you go girl!!

I only have the internet here at work now...I will keep checking with you guys since you have TV access...

I will have go with pre-Michael McDonald...mainly because they rocked...not looking to make music for Top 40...I played "The Captain and Me" from the album of the same name for my burried classic song today and I forgot how they jammed...Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons....that was the Doobies! And I got great feedback from playing the song. Listeners liked hearing classic Doobies! As do I.

I am trying to find more... we only carry 3 minutes at noon...

Harbour Tunnel and Fort McHenry tunnels in Blatimore are closed due to a threat. I am just hearing this on live CBS news here at the station. The authorities are checking the situation out. Traffic is at a standstill. Hope this turns out to be a hoax.

Fats Domino Finds N.O. Home In Ruins Visiting his New Orleans home for the first time since he was rescued from rising floodwaters in a boat, Fats Domino found his piano overturned among mud and debris and his house in ruins. Despite the destruction, the 77-year-old legendary musician found a few bright spots during last week's tour, arranged by WWL-TV: a favorite shirt that survived unblemished and a bust that made it through the storm unbroken. Those were the exceptions. His electric keyboard sat against a wall covered in dried mud, mildew and mold, and his white grand piano was overturned, broken and stained with the filth that flowed into the Lower Ninth Ward along with the floodwaters. The water reached well over eight feet, brushing the bottoms of chandeliers inside the home, WWL-TV reported. Domino's fate was not publicly known for several days after the Hurricane Katrina-spawned floods hit the low-lying neighborhood. He was rescued in a boat along with other family members from an upper-floor balcony. The side of the balcony was spray-painted with a premature farewell when it was feared Domino had not survived: "R.I.P. Fats. You will be missed." Domino's house was a mansion of pink, yellow and lavender decorated with such touches as his "Cadillac couch," resembling the rear of a 1950s car. The room was left in shambles.

Peaches!! Welcome back!! Missed seeing your posts...don't to there guys...lol...thanks...she is my sweetie and the light in my eyes in that pic is from Jack Daniels!! I was so blitzed out!! It is cool to see everyone, makes us more of a family!

Ok I know he is a country artist, but Vince Gill...check him out on the Clapton Crossroads Live DVD that came out last year!! Vince jams and I think since he is in country he gets overlooked, but when Clapton respects your guitar playing you get noticed. Vince is on Clapton's new album. I saw Vince live about 7 years ago and he can get down on the guitar and I also saw him on a special with Chet Akins back in the 90's before Chet passed away and it was awesome!

A flounder is born...oh what I did do get here...mmmmm...only my lips know for sure!! And yes my avatar is again changed!!

Yes...just replied back...thanks!

LOL!! Not what I was thinking but will go with it!!

It can't always be about money....come on think about it...

The Olsen Twins...please....buy some food with your money and stop whinning about getting bad press and this and that!! And I get the twin thing guys...but what about the Coors Light Twins?? Those chic are filled out a little better!

I have never seen Lou live...have always wanted to...especially back in the day.

I love Don too...just said didn't like his singing...I watched Miami Vice and then Nash Bridges, the show he had back a few years ago. Cool actor...just don't sing Don!

Rosalita, jump a little higher... Rosalita ~ Bruce Springsteen

I was just looking through our Billbaord Top 40 Book for a song and it has a section with pictures and I had to stop and do a double take...it was Don Johnson and his album Heartbeat! Oh I had forgot he released an album and didn't he do a song with Barbra Streisand?? Don Johnson...ok I loved Miami Vice I admit but Don doing albums...Why??

I was into Heart ever since they debuted. They hit hard with Dreamboat Annie, and did well with Little Queen....then kind of faded off. But I still kept buying their albums, then out came Bebe Le Strange in 1980. I was hooked again, not that I let go of being a fan, but I once again heard the rockin' chics I had come to love. "Even it Up" doing great and rockin, making on the charts but only to #33...what is up with that? But there are other cuts that didn't get released like "Raised on You", Sweet Darlin'" and the awesome rocking tune "Rockin' Heaven Down"...I heard a radio interview with Heart after the album came out and they were on tour and Ann said on a gig in Japan they started singing "Rockin' Heaven Down" and a thunderstorm broke out, she said it was eerie, yet cool...on the album that tune along with "Even it Up" are my top two favorites. And without longtime guitarist Roger Fisher, the band had the sound you heard back on Dreamboat Annie. Ann with amazing vocal range and Nancy's gifted guitar. Some critics knocked the album, but as a true Heart fan, I am happy to have in my collection.

Well it seems you have to do something to stop being a frog...I know what I am willing to do...they will just have to figure it out...
