Molly O'Day had a brief but brilliant career in country music in the late 1940s, contemporary with Hank Williams. They did a lot of the same songs. Her best remembered song was probably Teardrops Falling in the Snow. She left the country music industry to sing gospel music. Here is a clip of her doing Six More Miles to the Graveyard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX75BX7auQY

So the AL series won't resume until Friday, no matter the late date or the weather? This could affect momentum.

Bill Brasky's Funeral. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/96/96nbrasky.phtml "He had a four day heart attack!" "They found sixty dollars in change in his stomach!" "He did all the make-up on the Planet of the Apes movies." "He grew a third arm and kept it in a vault!"

Salute to all the teams qualifying for post-season! I was interested in Atlanta, but they were eliminated today. For my home team in Washington? Wait til next year! (it might take a lot of years, actually!). Convinced it's bad karma embracing the name Nationals/Senators. Guess I should be glad we didn't name them the Wizards or Redskins. Can't anybody name a ball team around here?

Great drummer with Frank Frost, Big Jack Johnson, and the Jelly Roll Kings, and before that with Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller). Obit Got to see him wailin' away at the Twist and Shout club mentioned therein. RIP.

What in the WORLD?

No, but their bird can sing.

Well, here's Pee Wee looking like Uncle Junior and singing! Waltz for Everybody (or the Whole World's Waltz) These are from a television studio program in 1985, hence the cowboy shirts etc. The singer's style looks a lot like my older brother's, with the greaser hair and all.

You haven't seen stiff stage presence until you see one of those old Cajun bands! Catch him around 1:10! (Looks like Uncle Junior)

Loved him in the movie Nashville! "My brother fought with Patton I saw action in Algiers But we must be doing something right To last 200 years!"

Have a great one!

Monitor expressions among musicians, industry professionals, and fans on music and the public domain.

Merle Haggard is on record saying he thought Glen Campbell had more talent than anybody he ever knew in the music business, fwiw.

Cracker Barrel? Let's see what Senator Worthington Fuller has to say about that!

Happy birthday from the other side of the county!

Strong point, Dan! The survivors of an intentional suicide often go through a hard time of self-recrimination, almost blaming themselves for not having been able to intervene, assuming that were possible. Just a terrible scene altogether. I am sorry for his family. I certainly won't be joking about him. I rather remember his good work.

He did a good job playing Woody Guthrie in Bound for Glory. Now, if only they had made a movie about Woody's merchant marine days, his marriage to Marjorie, his relationship with the Almanac Singers, Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Brownie and Sonny, Jack Elliott, and his getting Huntington's Chorea! He had some interesting times. Could have called upon even more of Carradine's quirky talent.

I placed my order! Thanks for bumping this up. Rob Bamberger featured this on Hot Jazz Saturday Night (WAMU in our nation's capitol) some time ago and I plum forgot to "act now!"

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful playing, beautiful record.

We were talking earlier about how playing an instrument can enrich your life, even if you can't make a living as a professional. This article and video speaks to that: http://www.theind.com/content/view/4299/54/
