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.

Last week we had a video of the Hindenburg explosion over New Jersey. We heard from a friend that was seven years old at the time and he remembers seeing that infamous German zeppelin flying over his house on its way to New Jersey. He said it was low enough that you could see the swastikas on it. It was memorable to this New York friend because zeppelins were very uncommon then! All I can say is, "WOW! What an experience as a young boy of that time!"

Got a question for those of you who experienced the "Swamp Pop," "Rock-n-Roll," and "Rhythm & Blues" of the 1950's. Do you remember rockin' and walkin' to the Swamp Pop, R&B of one songwriter, Bobby Charles (a.k.a Robert Charles Guidry)? You can read more about Bobby Charles in this week's OkieLegacy Ezine, featuring "Swamp Pop and Rhythm & Blues."

Tell the GOP, "Stop the War On Women"
See you later, alligator!
