Who Are You?

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Thursday, August 09, 2007 20 Of Your Sparks



Look what Sanni did?


Thank you darling friend...



The lovely and witty STARRLIGHT has tagged us with this Meme... Pretty simple and straightforward...

Here are the rules:
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts.
4. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


So...here we go... we have mentioned before we are a Junior and that my middle name comes from my incredible grandfather...

E - e-mail...we have so many friends, we end up with 20-30 e-mails a day
R - Rock & Roll...well all y'all know my love for rock and roll...southern rock, San Francisco rock, Detroit rock, does not matter...if it rocks, it lives within me...
N - Night owl...I find myself up late almost every night. Watching TV or surfing the internet or working on THE COUCH...
E - Erotica...(close your eyes mom)...I do like it and have been known to write stories with erotica content.
S - Sun and surf...nothing better as far as we are concerned then sitting on the beach...feet at the waterline...basking in the sun....nothing beats it.
T - Thinker....we are always thinking...that does not mean we are some genius or anything...we just think and sometimes it is not for the best...sometimes the brain just does not shut down...



Well...there you have it....Now we have to select one person for every letter...so...hummm...let's go count...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6....OK six people....better go back and see who Starr selected since she always steals my picks..she is like that....hehehehehehe

JULIE
DIXIE
MORGEN
MAGGIE-MOO
MERIBAH
BEE

OK, y'all...time to get it on...



Today's song is, of course, by THE WHO and fits the theme of the meme...

Pete Townsend

DOUBLE MEME - Guitar Solos and Food

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, May 15, 2007 24 Of Your Sparks

I've been hit with TWO MEMEs...

First off:

Sweet Empress Bee tagged me with a meme created by Meloncutter.

Five songs with great lead guitar solo's.
Do you realize how difficult this was for me,
to pick just FIVE?????

Morgen also tagged me, but BEE touched me first...


Then TUG hit me with the Restaurant Meme

IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED - Allman Brothers -
Duane and Dickey rip it up.
And now, in concert, Warren and Derek do the same)



PEACHES EN REGALIA - Frank Zappa at his finest.


CAN'T YOU SEE - Marshall Tucker Band
Toy Caldwell was one of the more underrated guitarists, may he rest in peace.


WATER SONG - Hot Tuna
Jorma Kaukonen - You have heard me rave about him before....'nuff said.


SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE - Cream
The opening riff of this song is infamous. The guitar solo, pure Eric Clapton.


Hey, and I did it without mentioning Jerry Garcia... how the hell did that happen???

COCO
BUD

OK, now Tug's:

First the rules:
1. Add a direct link to your post below the name of the person who tagged you. Include the city/state and country you’re in.
Nicole (Sydney, Australia)
velverse (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
LB (San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy)
Selba (Jakarta, Indonesia)
Olivia (London, England)
ML (Utah, United States)
Lotus (Toronto, Canada)
tanabata (Saitama, Japan)
Andi (Dallas [ish], Texas, United States)
Lulu (Chicago, Illinois, United States)
Chris (Boyne City, Michigan, United States)
AB (Cave Creek, Arizona, United States)
Johnny Yen (Chicago, Illinois, United States)
Bubs (Mt Prospect, Illinois, United States)
Mob (Midland, Texas United States)
Yas (Ahwatukee, Arizona USA)
Alicia(Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA)
Tug (Hell, Colorado, USA)
Bond (Memphis, TN, USA)

2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location.
3. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) and let them know they’ve been tagged.

Well, since I am new to Memphis this might be tough...

1) DOC WATSONS: Neighborhood bar, I go there on Friday evenings every few weeks. They make a great burger, fish and chips and other "bar-type" food, but especially their homemade chips. The potatoes are sliced real thin and fried up nice and crisp...that and a few beers..yum. And good local talent every Friday and Saturday playing great music.

2) GERMANTOWN COMMISSARY: A tiny little out of the way bar-b-que joint. Excellent ribs and chicken and sausage and pulled pork and baked beans and chocolate pie...yum-o

3) JOHNNY BRUSCO'S: As close to NY pizza as you will find in Memphis. It is a franchise with locations in TN, GA, KS, MS, and TX, but they do use real pizza ovens. Good chicken parm subs also.

4) THE BUTCHER SHOP: Only been here once, but the steaks were excellent and they actually had espresso... so they get extra points for that!

5) B.B. KINGS: OK, well the food might not be the absolute best, but anything tastes better when you have great live music being played while you eat. B.B.'s is at the head of Beale Street and has some of the best music on the block.

Guess it wasn't that tough...

We now have to tag five:

Anndi - Montreal, Canada (totally different from Toronto)
Angell - Toronto, Canada (totally different from Montreal)
TopChamp - Scotland
Lizza - Phillipines
Travis - N.W. (hey to me that is like a foreign country!)
