ThrowBack (way back) Thursday

 I doubt if many of you will remember these songs from the Golden Days of rock-n-roll radio.

It was, after all, 59 years ago, 1961, at KCJB Radio in Minot, North Dakota.

It wasn't the birthing ground of my broadcasting career.

I had actually started out at KEYJ in Jamestown, North Dakota, while attending college.

Or, some would say, as a 15 year old ham radio operator while still in high school.

But this was where legend set in and I became "Bruce on the Loose"!

Actually Bruce on the Loose only reigned until 10:00, then a half hour of news, weather, sports, and I became the Franklin McCormack* of northwestern North Dakota, playing romantic ballads and speaking in a dulcet tone until midnight.

Ah, those were the days.

*McCormack was the romantic radio voice of Chicago radio on WBBM and WGN. And I copied him.

THANK YOU

 

NOT THAT COLD

 I decided to change my header photo.

The one with the snow on the cactus was just too early and too cold for my taste.

So enjoy the new one.

And with apologies to Lilycedar at My Lily Pad (over there in the right margin), here's something I stole from her today.

SNOW

 Some people who have never lived in Arizona believe it's just an oven year around.

But here in the higher country, we actually do have four seasons.

A cold front pushing south brought us a light dusting of snow overnight.

It's not much and most of it is gone this morning but it was enough to cover the bark lightly in the back yard.

And the water in the bird bath was frozen!

IT'S OVER!

 

Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States of America.

WAITING

 

Aren't we all?

I received this in my email this morning:

And this:

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

 Whew, what a week, eh?

Well, I'm gonna put it aside for awhile and with the assistance of Jolly Jim, Wacky Wally and Comical Carol, among others, try to put smiles on your faces.

I mean, c'mon!

I know what you're thinking after that one.

Okay, I will but I want to leave you with these words: be kind, be safe, have a wonderful weekend and always . . . always . . . remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .
