Jim Dandy:   Thank you, Dandy-Pie.  We'll see, I've messaged one of the globs to see what the powers that are think.  But, your sentiment warms my heart. 

Marc Bolan?  T-Rex? 

Jim Dandy:  I had to look it up, because evidently they missed Texas.  Or, could it be that my ex and I were still newly weds, and we were definitely hippy types.  If it wasn't "heavy" we looked right over it.  So, I'm leaving the answer to others.  1910 Fruitgum Company?  You knew about them?  Or you tripped over them.  Hahaha!  That was priceless.  They seem like they might be from the earlyr 60s.  Hmmm?

UzzyLady:  I was familiar with the song, as you might well imagine, it's on all the "Texas"  stations.  I think they ought to make it the Texas National Anthem.  The slide show showed an awful lot about Texas, but you can't cover all of it in 3 minutes.  I mean, they missed Brenham.  Oh, and Galveston.  But, the diversity comes through.  And, look who got in the big fat middle...Townes Van Zandt.  Hahaha!  I had to smile all the way through that piece, because I've been to all of those places, and I have fond memories of all of them.  Thanks for the memories.

Last night, I was listening to some Leonard Cohen.  At about the same time that Cohen was on the scene, this lady was doing some astounding things, and thoughts of Cohen brought her to mind.  So, she's been rattling around in there all day.  The only way I could get her out of there was to post this.

Buffy St Marie - "Universal Soldier"

There was a quote from Buffy in some of the notes about this song where she said she wrote it in the basement of The Purple Onion coffeehouse in Toronto. 

You guys got busy.  Thanks for all the little treats on my arrival home.  Hey Ewe, good to see you.  When you two were showing Dreadzone and The Beat, I was reminded of my fave group of that ilk, Afro Celt Sound System

Thanks for the Turkey Day greeting, Dandiest.  It really WAS trippy.  And, who can resist a Canadian Mounty named Dudly?  Hahahah!!
