My uncle - that I never met - was killed in a tree accident in 1935.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 07, 2020, 07:00:06 AM »

He died the next day.

His twin brother Jim who also worked there, told my dad who was nine at the time - that the tree had started to fall on him and that George ran over and pushed him out of the way.....and got the worst of it....

Good morning, all.

OMG, DR Jrand70. How truly scary and awful.

I just heard from the Philly Pops, so I guess I must get to work.

YAY!!!

Speaking of li'l, I watched Li'l Abner two nights ago. I last watched it when the DVD was released and that was some time ago. It remains one of my favorite film adaptations of a stage musical.

Damn it to hell! Now I have to do the same.

Indeed, it’s been long enough since I last watched it. Probably a decade or more, even though it doesn’t seem like that at all.

I had a most vivid and disturbing dream last night about being a part of an art heist.

That makes him a hero in my book. Good genes in that Earls family, DR JRand70, as you prove daily.

Didn't Dino at the piano take over the gig from Art Blakey? Did it involve him?

Catching up, and sending love to you, George, and your family.

David is back!

I think BK looks fine without needing to work on his ABS.

I don’t have that. Must remedy soon.

Fantastic! Annabelle loves Patti LuPone, so she's hit nirvana. Although she is still angry with me that she cannot post on Cats Against Trump until I'm out of Facebook jail.

That's nice, and it's a fund raiser - so the missed accents are great! I think that's the rule.

And the actual F word.

Hi DR Freddie.

Thanks, Jane. Trying to catch up. Access to post was nil so I ended up falling out of the reading habit.

Freddie · « **Reply #52 on:** October 07, 2020, 08:43:51 AM »

But so many of the folks here are also on facebook.

Freddie · « **Reply #55 on:** October 07, 2020, 08:47:30 AM »

I feel like I saw much of BK, plus some old posts of his.

Freddie · « **Reply #56 on:** October 07, 2020, 08:48:34 AM »

Except for a rare person (maybe two) there who had to pick a nit, there seems a real awareness in this time when so few people are still doing Cds of show music - that BK is one of very few still doing it in a regular basis.

Freddie · « **Reply #57 on:** October 07, 2020, 08:49:44 AM »

Totally shocked by the death of Eddie Van Halen at 65.

Freddie · « **Reply #58 on:** October 07, 2020, 08:51:32 AM »

Terrifying stories from Jrand. And yet heroism runs through that story.

Jennifer · « **Reply #59 on:** October 07, 2020, 09:27:50 AM »

We are in lockdown again due to covid. Schools are still open (high schools and elementary). But now my niece in grade 10 only goes to school every second day. And masks are mandatory.

Stores are still open. But restaurants are closed for 1 month. And no social gatherings or visiting other people's homes. And sports are cut for 1 month.
