Love this cover of 1 of my favorite songs. I always thought it was written by Bobby Darin, but the original version came from France & was written by Charles Trenet. 2 instrumental versions actually topped the charts in the 40s before the Bobby Darin version came out in 1959

The deepest of melancholy farewells to the legendary Steve Cropper, one of the truly massive planets orbiting my musical solar system. Unbeatable tone. Wrote a song about him and Alex Chilton on the second to last Paranoid Style LP 'For Executive Meeting'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEoB...

Be advised that with only three viewing experiences, we have the sum total of what the American entertainment industry has to say about Thanksgiving.
1. Planes, Trains & Automobiles in full.
2. The camp play carnage in Addams Family Values
3. The clip below.
After that, it's all just football.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Wonderful foggy morning ... but I also have an early morning medical appointment, so if you want mist laden woods and landscapes, checkout @afewfromtheforest.bsky.social
So I'll go for a couple of weeks back and some more fall foliage.
