Called in sick today. Fell out of bed about 3:30am - took a pretty good whack from the night table on the way down. Just another exciting day in the life. :)



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yep...they do a lot of test flying there. I remeber when Vought lost 4 personnel when testing the XC-142 VTOL Cargo plane at the NAS over in Grand Prairie back in the 60s. Hard on my Dad, a couple of them were close friends of his.

I was raised out west of Sanger, about 6 miles off the freeway and nine miles north of Krum, TX. All of that Northwest of Denton.

For several years when my wife and I lived out there when our kids were young, I would communte in on an FM highway down to Ft. Worth when I was working at Motorola Mobile products.

Been here in Idaho for the last 14 years and love it. Sunk a tap root.

Okay, I’ll bet you didn’t know what you are about to read -
INCREDIBLE…. I DIDN’T KNOW TOM HANKS FATHER WAS THE LEAD SINGER OF THE DIAMONDS WAY BACK IN 1957! THEY STILL SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEY DID!
Here are 2 Performances 47 years apart

If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, “The Diamonds” who had just launched their super hit “Little Darlin’ “. For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or trash the set.
In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with “Little Darlin”……. 47 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City ... This link leads to both performances.
Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later.
