BLIMP!

This blimp is dedicated to Mother

The Old Lady saw a blimp!

She has always loved blimps, ever since she was just a Little Girl.  Back then there was only one blimp, the Goodyear blimp, and it occasionally visited Atlanta where the Little Girl grew up.  The Little Girl’s Mother loved blimps, too, and whenever they would spot the Goodyear blimp high in the Atlanta skies Mother would give chase in the family’s station wagon.

Such excitement, such merriment!  The station wagon barreling through the neighborhoods, with the Little Girl and her siblings giggling and watching out the windows and shouting their guesses as to which way the blimp would turn next!  Mother would forget the grocery shopping or the music lessons or wherever they had been headed as she pursued the elusive airship!

Having cheap viagra from india diabetes is usually a probability component for having heart failure.
One time Mother managed to keep the blimp in sight until she ran it to ground, so to speak: it finally landed at what used to be called Fulton County Airport.  She parked in the airport lot and she and her little ones ran out on the field (no security then) to where the blimp was tethered by its nose to a metal pole.  They met the pilot, and learned that a blimp on the ground sits on one fat wheel which is situated perpendicular to the blimp so that the wind can push the blimp in a circle around the anchoring pole.  As they chatted with the pilot the blimp, pushed by a gentle breeze, would sneak up silently on its rubber wheel behind the pilot and nudge him gently.  The Little Girl found this inexpressibly charming.

What a blessing, to have a Mother who loved blimps!

 

The Old Lady Cops a ‘Tude

Fun, Music, Spirituality

Wisteria
The Old Lady burst into tears while driving to church Sunday morning.
The day was so beautiful, clear cool Spring air following the rainstorm that washed away – at least temporarily – the heavy yellow fall of south Georgia pollen. Traveling along the country backroad to the small town where St. James’ Episcopal Church is located, she came upon a stand of blooming wisteria draping some oak and pine trees. The purple blossoms beckoned in the sunshine, and even though she was sure she would be late to church she had to stop to take a photograph.
Upon resuming her drive, tears sprang into the Old Lady’s eyes, tears of joy and overwhelming gratitude for such a lovely day.
After church, another beautiful experience.

The Old Lady drove to Gainesville, Florida to attend a concert by the Indigo Girls.  It’s been more than a decade since the Old Lady heard Amy and Emily play live, and they not only are as good as ever (maybe better!), for this tour they are backed by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.   What a show!

When they played the old hit, “Kid Fears”, the Old Lady burst into tears again, tears not of sadness and missing the time that the song provided a soundtrack for her life, but again tears of gratitude; gratitude for the trip from then until now, and all the experiences… good and bad!… that the Old Lady has been blessed to go through.

Ashley Street Station

Fun, Music

Ashley Street Station is no longer on Ashley Street.
The Old Lady loved that hole-in-the-wall dive bar. The constant stream of live bands, local and imported, helped her maintain a shred of sanity when she first moved to Valdosta.
So she was saddened to hear the place had moved.
However, she is happy to report that the new location on Baytree near VSU is comfortably familiar. Same guitars on the wall interspersed with posters of ate-up looking punk stars of the past.

Next up, Sin, a local Valdosta band. Again, a duo. But this guitarist is totally manic, a crazy man onstage. His name is Jimi Davies. He introduced a song about Aldous Huxley’s book “Doors of Perception” which he says he read last year, which the Old Lady read in 1968. Everything old is new again. Anyway, Jimi is a one-man wall of sound, backed up by Rred Freeman on drums. Their next gig is at the Bleu Pub on February 15, and the Old Lady plans to be there.

Kyle Chamberlain
Kyle Chamberlain

Last on the bill: Kyle Chamberlain and the Dirty Birds. Kyle has been out of town for a while, and he has gotten even better than the last time the Old Lady had the pleasure of hearing him. This band gets down and funky with some southern whiteboy dirty blues that had the Old Lady yelling “Collard greens!”
If you get a chance to hear the Dirty Birds, go! Listen to the Old Lady!

 

The Old Lady is a Punk

Fun, Music, Spirituality

Where is my CD now?

Last night’s show (see previous post “Wet Nurse ROKZ!”) brought up fond memories of a band from the Old Lady’s Florida daze.
Frog & Flower was an alt rock band performing around the Bradenton/Sarasota/Tampa area during the ‘90s (that’s LAST millennium, kids). A friend’s daughter, Lova Michelle, played lead guitar. During their most punk phase their big number was a cover of the Batman theme with a punk grrl twist. You know the tune: da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da BITCH GRRL….

Our little extra care with herbs mentioned below helps to reduce the risk of kidney disorders. viagra buy The Old Lady had a treasured copy of their CD “Filthy” of which only 1000 were released.
A couple of months later, all the grrls turned Zen Buddhist and changed the band’s name to Chime. They swapped their black leather for gauzy robes and performed ethereal tunes with lots of bells and hand drums.
Now the Old Lady is all for spiritual enlightenment.
But the punk in her misses Frog & Flower.

There are those who think that south Georgia is a cultural backwater, where only deer hunting and country music break up the tedium of cotton and peanut farming.
They are wrong.
Tonight at Red Door Records in Valdosta, the Old Lady rocked out to a live show by the all-girl garage band Wet Nurse.

This box will serve as a home altar for the Cottage, built with love by the worshiper.
Thanks be to God!

Karaoke Butterfly

Fun

http://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos-microphone-butterfly-image3492973

The Old Lady has a confession: she has a tendency… nay, a compulsion… to sing karaoke.
The spread of karaoke in the 80’s provided the realization of a popular dream, the Rock Star Fantasy. Who among us has not imagined herself up there on the stage, microphone in hand, rocking out to the adulation of the mass audience?
POOF! Karaoke made that dream come true.
When I first encountered a karaoke machine, I looked for the only song I knew all the words to: “White Rabbit”, by Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane (the Starship came years later, kiddies). I first heard the song when I was about 17 years old, lying on my bed reading the book “Alice in Wonderland” for the dozenth time. I was hooked immediately.
Therefore it’s better to go ahead and take product one hour prior to the sexual cialis price online activity. This worry may be behind a mid-life mouthsofthesouth.com viagra price crisis, and the horny goat weed had become a phenomenon in US, so a study was conducted by a Newyork Physician on the effects of spinal health to the general wellness of a person. It works amazingly to enhance the price for viagra level of participation and enjoyment in lovemaking. It helps to increase strength levitra 20 mg mouthsofthesouth.com and stamina in men. The first time I actually performed the song was at a company Christmas party, decades later. I gave it everything I had. When I came off the stage, my boss looked at me in wonder and said, “I’ll never look at you the same again.” I knew then that this was MY SONG.
The best karaoke performers are those who don’t just sing the song, but PERFORM it. I have seen women who performed Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” in such an angry manner that you just know they’re thinking about some guy as they sing… and you wouldn’t want to be that guy. I’ve heard versions of Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” that made you just KNOW that woman is over the edge.
One thing I like about karaoke is that (in the best situations) everybody is such a good sport about it. The price you pay for karaoke is that some people are, well, not as good at singing as other people… but everybody is nice anyway, supportive and encouraging. The Old Lady is fortunate to have a dive bar in her neighborhood that has karaoke every night. She won’t name it because there are already enough singers there to provide variety without making it too long between turns, and plenty of people who don’t sing who make up an appreciative audience for those who do.
It’s true. The Old Lady is a Karaoke Butterfly.
