It’s difficult to carry a secret love, and the ramifications can affect your entire life. Little Richard agrees with me.
Everybody always thinks of rockabilly as being a guitar-based music, but you can’t imagine that kind of records without pumpin’ the piano all over it. During the 60’s and the 70’s the guitar hero became popular, but for my money give me that pumpin’ piano. The only reason the guitar became so popular is because you could wear it around your neck and stand in the middle of the stage. The poor guy playin’ the piano was stuck in one spot and unless you were Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis you were relegated to the background. I feel we lost something when it became all guitars and no piano. Another thing that happened is that somewhere along the line people seemed to think the solo was more important than the song. On some of my favorite blues, jazz, mexican music from the golden age and rock records there isn’t even a solo at all. The guitar playing is mostly call and response to the vocals. If you’re lucky maybe there’s a one chorus guitar solo. It’s not about the length of the solo, it’s the feel, and a lot of those records had more feel than you could ever put in a twenty minute solo.
RIP king of rock Little Richard 🌹

We continually do maintenance on our collection. That means that whenever we spot a problem, we fix it.
Although we buy quality processing materials from reputable vendors, time does take its toll. We need to replace aged and ripped plastic jacket covers every month.
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city
In night waiting for you

"The bad girls ... had the look that I liked," she wrote in her 1995 autobiography, "Rage to Survive."

1-13-12 | SUN-e Picture of the Day: The old snack bar in Wilkins (aka the Hornet Grille) is no more, and the space will soon reopen as a beautiful suite of offices for the Office of Admissions. The Hornet Grille actually closed in September 2008, when the Brandt Student Center opened with a food court and coffee shop. Students, however, continued to use the old snack bar as a performance and event venue. Officially, the last student event in the Hornet Grille was on Dec. 13, 2011, when The Loaf (Shenandoah’s improv/sketch-comedy troupe) presented a holiday show. See more snack bar demolition photos at Shenandoah University Student Life.
Steve Mariucci lived right up the street from the house I grew up in (one of the newer, much larger, and more custom homes, mind you) and our neighborhood along with the outskirts were littered with 49ers memorabilia including those obnoxious "Nothing Finer than a 49er" license plate frames.
However, I was one of the few people in that area that was proud to be an ardent Raiders fan. Through the ups and downs, I went to the games, hung out in the parking lot (an experience any football fan should have at least once; there really is nothing else that compares), and cheered for them at viewing parties when they would square off, pre-season, against the 49ers.
When asked why I would support them compared to the much more glamorous and beloved Niners, I guess, for me, it came down to the lure of the rebellious spirit that the Raiders encapsulated - and that was embodied, most of all, at the core, by their controversial leader, Al Davis.
I may get scoffed at for making such an analogy but there are many similarities between Davis and another Bay Area icon we lost a few days prior. Both Al and Steve were rebels who were controversial, broke the rules, made objectionable decisions (some people still won't forgive the Raiders being moved to LA from '83 - '95), and were flat out difficult at times. However, they were also geniuses that weren't afraid to do things according to their own rules and, as a result, both made an indelible mark on their respective professions.
RIP, Al.

My apologies, to the bunnies and the viewers, for this less than adequate photograph.
I had myself a brief cry, as I was in the presence of my girl, who was also having a brief cry. We could've gone on, but I had promised to take her to lunch.
It rained and got cold last night, and the bunnies may have drowned. Or they may have been abandoned by their mommy. But whatever happened, my daughter came home from school and uncovered the nest to find their stiff, wet bodies beneath the pine needles.
Last night, my sister's mother-in-law died. She'd been sick for a while with Whipples and emphysema, but she was only in her sixties.
And today, after the lunch my daughter bought me (with my husband's twenty), my car died—wouldn't start. Probably the fuel pump. It hasn't been running right since I had the brakes fixed last week.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to drink.

There are some rooms which are completely abandoned, with parts of their floors ripped up for some reason.
