Happy Holidays everyone.
Spent Christmas Eve at a cabin out on the river with some old friends and a few bottles of wine. Hope everyone's having a decent holiday.

Shot a couple photos when I was leaving this morning.

This is Aldo Leopolds shack if any of you are familiar with it. It's about a half mile down the road from the cabin where my friends live. It's all still as he left it so many years ago.

I got a call from Arethia Franklin one morning at the free Press. When Ms Franklin calls there is no mistaking who it is . She has what they call in the trade a voice print.
So, when Arethia calls you know it's Arethia . She says "this is Arethia Franklin calling , and I am requesting that photo of the fire works from downtown published in the free Press". and I says...
Yes, where shall I send it.

I gave it all up for Arethia years ago with "Respect" and I have a loot of respecet for her and her talent. I hope she is ok and we wish her a speedy recovery

Not only is Bob Segar a great song writer , but , he's funny as well ....to "hang" with Bob Segar , is to "hang" with the best.

Here is one of the Wisemen---



It is Alice Cooper and I do not know if the snake is going to go into the Hall of Fame right along with Alice or not...

I wish him much good luck and glad our Stillrocken kept him from urnating on the floor of the ballroom at the Garwood Mansion

I do not know how they do it. Some performers play a musical instrument and sing and keep beat and it just amazes me ...how do they do it. I guess when your great like Bob Dylan you just do it.
