From an ad for the concert:

His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet, B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 76, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished and more relevant than ever. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world can't get enough of him. And he's coming to Richmond's Carpenter Center on Saturday March 1st at 8pm.

"The name of that Civil War park I was telling you of is Pamplin Park. One of my supervisors from Texas said he, as well as his young kids, enjoy it."

Having been associated with Pamplin for two years, I admit that the kids will enjoy it. And adults who are novice historians will find it "fun". But that's the problem - to increase attendance, the Pamplins decided to "Disneyise" the Civil War and dumbed the whole thing down a couple of notches. This forced some of their better historians to leave. And the attendance did not go up, but declined even further as the true Civil War buffs began to avoid the place. And now I've heard that the Museum of the Confederacy, which has loaned most of the better artifacts to Pamplin, wants them back.

"I'm game fer a FReeper outing..."

Yankhater and I might be interested in going. I'll check with him. We have both been to B.B. King's place on Beale Street in Memphis and to the B.B. King Museum in Mississippi.

[sultan88]

Yes, I saw your alter ego!

[conservativemusician]

"At age 76, he is still light on his feet"????

He sits down these days!

Still plays his butt off though.

[conservativemusician]

Get on up and jam with the king of the blues, Mud!!!

That would be a trip.

[iceskater]

Mr. Iceskater and I might be interested in going also.

BB's CD "Ridin With the King" is one of my favs to skate to. The youngsters at the rink don't appreciate him, though. They're too young, I think.

"2. When is that reenactment taking place at St. John's?"

Ligeia's got the particulars on that...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"...is it the Mosque (or whatever it's name is these days)?"

Nope, it's the Carpenter Center...my wife would probably even like to go see that. You and the Missuz up fer dinner beforehand, Sultan?!

"the Pamplins decided to "Disneyise" the Civil War and dumbed the whole thing down a couple of notches"

DisneyLanding it to a certain degree is all fine and good, IMHO, but that by no means forces one to dumb the educational value down one iota. With DVD technology improving as it is, and as more folks git used to it, historic sites are increasingly turning to interactive technology that allows the tourist and/or CivilWarAficianado to learn as little or as much about a site as he or she wants. Robert E. Lee's home and birthplace are each experimanting with this technology and I totally expect the monies from the latest ParksBondReferendum that deal with historic structures will be spending their ExhibitDollar on DisneyLand-type improvements.

LOL...I may dream it, but I dare not say it aloud if the Missuz is indeed planning to attend...if she were to find out I even had my harmonica in my formal dinner jacket, methinks jla would be my date...LOL!!

"Mr. Iceskater and I might be interested in going also."

If y'all want, I'll just buy a block of seats and you can pay me when you see me...MUD

"...if she were to find out I even had my harmonica in my formal dinner jacket, methinks jla would be my date

LOL
Leave the harmonica at home...you're not quite as pretty as the little gal who works in the office here, who I'm soon to determine as to her being spoken for or not.
And she doesn't have a mustache or paint her face blue.

Give 'em hell tomorrow!
And keep your hands warmed up in case one of unwashed horde thinks they'll get pushy with any of our conservative ladies.
