How's Bill doing?
A Good week for you?
Howdy
(HUGS)
Bill is snowed in right now in Idaho. He's also recovering from his pacemaker surgery. I've shipped him a disk of all our Federalist/Anti-Federalist material after standardizing it. We changed style quite a bit over the course of the project. Now we'll see what we can do with it.
It's been a good week in that we now have royalties totaling in three figures! If you count the two figures to the right of the decimal point, it's five figures! I've been figuring out my taxes.
I have some good stuff for tonight. A trip down Memory lane.
Good evening Drumbo & happy weekend to ya! ;-}
Whatcha got on tap this weekend? *Hugs*

Where were you 50 years ago today, Baby Boomers? I was in my sophomore year at a third-rate Catholic prep school in New Jersey that fancied itself first-rate. I was reading The Conscience of a Conservative, The Federalist Papers and Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged after the class bully, who sat behind me, hit me over the head with it. It made an immediate first impression on my skull. .
Where were you? Smoking in the boys room? Hiding in the bathroom with a copy of Playboy? Gearing up for a visit in the military to some little place in Southeast Asia?
The big hubbub in music those days came from England. The Beatles, who had been a major group for two years across the pond, brought their music to America. Paul McCartney was a fresh voice, a songwriter in the caliber of Franz Schubert, George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers, and his first backup band featured some monumental talents. They made their first splash, and then soon after, three years worth of songs were released by Capitol Records and a variety of other labels who cashed in during the resulting chaos of conflicting copyright claims. What could be fresher and more innocent than wanting to hold a girls hand? That guitar riff that opens the song sets the table perfectly for what comes; it grabs your attention.
The Beatles: I Want to Hold Your Hand
The other side was a bit harder, with references to Elvis and Chuck Berry.
