| Buddy Holly Cured My Migraine..................and He's DEAD! LOL | | For the past week, I've had one of the worst migraines I've suffered in some time.
Started about the time the hubs came home.................nevermind.
Anyway, last night I was about ready to tear my head off and bury it in the hole next door. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that ground is now too frozen to dig in. lol
Now when I'm feeling really really antsy for one reason or another, I dance.
Last night it was too cold to get out under my pines.
BUT, she said, as the light bulb blew out in the table lamp..........I have the house to myself!So out came the Buddy Holly CD's and up went the volume. I discovered a long time ago (when the boys were teenagers) that if I put cello tape over my ears, I can still hear the music but the sound is not pain inducing..........
And I danced.
Broke the skin on my knees a few times on the sharp edges of my glass coffee table, but I danced. And wonder of wonders, Buddy Holly even had me............wait for it...........SINGING along! Thank god the dog was outside. lol
By the time I had listened to my CD's over and over (I lost count after midnight), I was ready for bed and headache free. I slept... | |
| | Buddy Holly and the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa | | We drove down there a few years ago. Of course, this is where Buddy played his last show. The ballroom is like a step back in time, and was told it has not changed much since 1959. The phone booth where he made his last calls is still there. We went out to the crash site, too. It is near the fence, in a cornfield. There is a small marker there. Many people visit these landmarks. Anyone here ever make the trip? | |

| Buddy Holly Fans out there | | Are there any Buddy Holly Fans out there. If your a Fan do you know who the loan survivor of his band the Crickits was. Yes Buddy Holly and his band perished in a plane crash except for one. That person gave his seat on the plane to Richie Valens. If you know feel free to post it here I Do know the answer and will reply after about a week weather your correct or not. | |
| | Elvis Presley or Buddy Holly? | | I know most people will say Elvis Presley since he's "The King" according to many people, but I personally prefer Buddy Holly's music. I actually find quite a bunch musicians of the late 50's and early 60's better than Elvis Presley.Who do you prefer and why?
Who is your favourite musician of this time? | |

| There's a new Colonel in town........... | | So tonight I decided to attempt a dish for dinner that I've not had much success with in the past. With the hubs away I can make all the culinary mistakes I want and no one's the wiser. lolTonight's menu included Southern Fried Chicken.
I had to get the buttermilk (having learned that 0% milk just doesn't cut it! lol) and more cayenne powder, but as for the rest, I was good to go.I boiled the drumsticks in chicken stock, put them in the fridge to cool, set the oil on to lightly boil and set about preparing the herbs and spices in the flour.A little of this, a pinch of that, a bit too much of something else, and before you can say Julia Child I had my flour mixture ready to go. Couldn't really see the flour anymore for all the herbs and spices, but hey, this was my adventure and I never use recipe's when I'm on a culinary adventure.I fried the drumsticks in the hot oil two by two to keep the oil at an even temperature, and placed them to drain when they were done.A dozen drumsticks later, and a spinach salad on the side and I sat down to my dinner. This time the drumsticks looked really good. At least the coating hadn't fallen off or gone all patchy on me. In... | |
