Duchess of Weaselskin

My sidekick Pug, Lady Sadie, has been honing up on her stalking the little ground squirrels and chipmunks here in Southwest Colorado Rockies. Sadie has not caught one of those teasing ground squirrels and chipmunks yet, but Sadie sure has sharpened, refined her stalking pose as shown in the photo on the left.

NW Okie's Corner

It has been these cool, Spring Rocky Mountain days that gets me working outside, laying in my hammock, listening to the running of Weaselskin creek, and soaking up the shady sunshine of the Southwest Rockies of Colorado. The photo on the left is one of those outside projects that I have been working on and is still a work in progress getting it ready to plant some wildflowers and other plantings after the last hard freeze comes through Southwest Colorado.

Swamp Pop And Rhythm & Blues Of 1950's

Were you a teenager of the 1950's? Do you remember a Louisiana (white) cajun, Bobby Charles who made his debut in 1955? He was more successful as a songwriter than a singer. Bobby Charles was an important contributor to Louisiana Swamp Pop and Rhythm & Blues music. He's authored several hits for key artists in the early days of "Rock & Roll" (including Bill Haley and Fats Domino). Although he recorded mostly in obscurity, he emerged as one of the founding fathers of "Swamp Pop." Charles' song, See You Later Alligator, was based on a 12-bar blues chord structure, written by this Louisiana songwriter, Robert Charles Guidry.
