Big Leather Couch

Last year we did a tribute to Matt. If you have never read it, you can find it HERE.

We will not be posting tomorrow, as we are off to the reunion in Tampa today.

Will have some catching up to do when we return on Monday.

Have a Great Weekend and be safe...

Some Tuneage to hold you over for four days...a smörgåsbord of genres - remember, it is always a great idea to hit the play button even if you do not know the artist...you can always stop it.

ENJOY!

Donna Summer does "On The Radio" ...hey, we worked as a DJ and did parties and weddings...and wore platform shoes back in the 70's, but that is a whole 'nother post...

OK...totally stealing this from one of our new friends, LeeLee and her Kitchen Concerts blog. The day she posted this song, we had digitized the album and had listened to this like 3 times at least.

The Band - "Chest Fever" from the Music From Big Pink album, a classic that should be in all collections IMHO

A live version of Muddy Waters doing "Got My Mojo Workin'"...loves me some Muddy

From the Oakland Auditorium Arena, December 31, 1971, The Grateful Dead, "Mexicali Blues"

Funny...the topic of conversation in the office between quite a few people was why the hell they cut away from "Medium" on Monday to tell us we were going to get rained on. We did not even bring it up, yet 5 people all mentioned it at some point in the day, all saying the same thing "what the hell was the reason for cutting away?"
One person did mention that, during the news, they said they would replay "Medium" at like 1:30 am...IF they are going to do that, a scroll along the bottom during the time the show SHOULD be on would be more appropriate.

Anyway, we watched the last 15 minutes sitting at work during lunch. All of the networks now give you that chance on their websites and the best part is...IF there are commercial breaks, they are only 30 seconds and not 2 minutes like on normal TV.

DIXIE - Our dear Sugarbaby
JEFF - He is just one cool dude
DRILLERAA - A new friend, but one we feel we have known for years
DANA - She blathers, but we like it
TURNBABY - She is irreverent and very good at it!
STARRLIGHT - This woman is just plain old incredible...
SONGBIRD - How can you not love this woman?
SANNI - Well...she is Sanni-licious!
TUG - Yankee fan, sweet lady, funny chick...
JULIE - Either on her blog or in her emails...she is just one hell of a woman
TOPCHAMP - We love her Brownie updates and just wish she would post more of her playing Trumpet...

We know, that is 11 people, but you see...we LOVE to break rules...
bwahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahaaaa

It has been raining here often and the Mississippi and tributaries are all up high and the temps are either 50 or 70 it seems...

And that is your weather here in Memphis...

Have you picked up on the fact that we are at a loss for words tonight?

The final Opening Day for Yankee Stadium was rained out yesterday. Sort of like Mother Nature saying, I am not happy you are bringing down the "House That Ruth Built".

The new stadium looks beautiful with all the amenities needed by major league teams today. It is just as much or more about the corporate sponsors; those companies who spend millions of dollars for luxury suites used to entertain customers and to allow the big wigs schmooze for business.

Here are some construction photos taken in February


We just got interrupted from watching "Medium" just now - cutting away from the last 15 minutes of the show to listen to one of the local weather-heads tell us that there is a thunderstorm warning.
Hail?...ummm no, not really.
Lightening?...ummm, well there was an hour ago, but not really anymore.
High Winds?...13 mph...ah not really.
Tornadoes?...ummm no, not any of them.
Rain?...oh yeah some of that.

This is one thing we have noticed since moving here. The weather-heads LOVE to hear themselves talk. Wait - OH GOODY, throw it to the other weather-head who has been working the computers..."Hey lets look at the light-show happening right now(cuts to a camera looking out over the Mississippi River showing nothing at all)...ummm well there was a ton of lightening just a little while ago...OOO there is one!"

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with them cutting in when there is a HUGE storm... but this is ridiculous. It is a normal everyday thunderstorm, with lessening conditions, no damage reported.

Weather song...hummm...let's go look. Be right back.

OK - here is what we found - a Tuesday Twosome for all y'all...

ENJOY....

Linda Ronstadt, from her Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like The Wind album; the title track, "Cry Like A Rainstorm". After a number of albums focusing on her Spanish heritage, Ronstadt made a full return to the mainstream pop charts in 1989.

This effort became one of the singers all-time biggest albums, in terms of production,
arrangements, chart sales, and critical acclaim.

The album returned Ronstadt, as a solo artist, back to the Top 10 of the Billboard Album Chart, reaching the #7 position and being certified triple-platinum. The album also received critical acclaim, being nominated for numerous Grammy awards.


Aaron Neville appeared on 4 of the 12 cuts on the album with Linda...which led us to scroll down the iTunes list and find this one. From his Warm Your Heart album.

Dr. B and Dangerous Lee welcome in sexy actress Francia Raisa. She’s starred opposite NBC’s “Heroes’” Hayden Panettiere in “Bring it On: All or Nothing” and can now be seen in “Cutting Edge 3: Chasing The Dream,” available on DVD on April 1.

Also, singer-songwriter Kaitlyn Anderson drops in, Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge to chat live with the listeners and Justin the Weatherman brings his forecast.

All that, and we’ll take your calls at: 646.652.4804

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!
