I was send an e-mail with this little story and song. Thought the community might like it. Any one else have an amusing story about cops, cars, road trips, etc?

Really, I’m not trying to turn MRambler Central into a Blues Blog, but, I just can’t pass up passin’ this one on…. You can blame some of this on Jek, as he is the one who got me two tickets to see “Watermelon Slim” at “The “Blue Door” for my birthday…… So-o-o, I’m back into [...]

Found this trivia question.  Any ideas? Before establishing himself as an icon of Southern California mellow this multi-instrumentalist played with Jerry Butler, Gene Vincent, and Buck Owens to name a few. Who is he and what two groups was he a member of?

Yep, The Glimmer Twins – Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – have been approached by Johnny Depp to appear as Pirates in the 4th installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean”….. That should be interesting to say the least…. Maybe they’ll write a new song called, “Sympathy for the Pirate”……

…….with Beatles after 40 years….. VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican has finally made peace with the Beatles.

Ever wonder what was behind the title of a particular album

I just caught a little of this on the news the other day, apparently Sir Paul McCartney is going to license his solo career catalog to be used with The Beatles’ Rock Band software…..
