Digg

Good evening everyone…)

… and goodwill to all Men, including those we will send to the Hague on Jan. 21st … *g*

ES, You have the Xmas Eve honors, eh? ;-)

Que pasa?

((((( FDLers )))))

Pouring Disaronno & Grand Marnier for all of you …

Oh .. hello Happy holidays…)

That’s it.. no more beer for me. Petro brought the good stuff.

There’s a place in Placer County whose staple drink is a Gold Cadillac. You just popped a memory bubble down here with the above libation!

It’s a biker bar/rib joint, and now I am seriously in need of a few…

Hiya Pups!
I’m in a hotel near Chadds Ford, PA. Very rainy and windy — the snow and ice we had north of here three days ago is gone. Too warm for us here — too used to 20’s and snowy! Still, lovely days with very old parents and younger adult children. Happy Christmas All!

Grazie tante and Merci Beaucoup, signore!
XXOO
FunnyD

Great Lakes Christmas Ale for tomorrow!

Oh, and non-sectarian Seasons Greetings to you and yours, Petro.

Placer Co
That’s near Nevada Co, no?
FunnyD

Deja Vu .. Is this the same hotel you waved from last year?

Warmed up here last night too. It’s really strange when it warms up in the middle of the night in winter.

Glad the traveling conditions are good, CE.

Heh, you, newt, at a biker bar in the heart of the night on a Xmas eve…? ;-)

Bwahahaha … those people crack me up … I’ve been celebrating Christmas since I was a kid …

N/E of Sacramento.
Very close.
Or did I miss a snark tag…

Tomorrow, we’re doing Rum Punch, Daiquiris & B-52s … and that’s for breakfast … *g*

The Ten Lies of Dick Cheney (Part One)
Here is a stocking stuffer the gift that keeps on giving…Andy wraps it for us. Christmas Gift as granddad used to say.

Merry Christmas, Christine.

And for the rest of you, as I said shortly ago on another thread…

Happy War on Christmas™ er, Holidays!

Yes, the very same! How do you remember that? Anyway, lovely to be here and thanks as always, dear ES for you to have us all on Christmas Eve/Day!

I’ll drink to that!

Great ribs, and no one throwing bottles at us.

No snark
My folks moved from S’vale to Grass Valley about 8 yrs ago.
Still trying to get the geography straight, since I get picked up at the airport and don’t drive myself around there much.
I can find the In n Out Burger in Auburn, though. Aka, Dad’s favorite…

FunnyD

And Merry Christmas to you neuro! I so feel at home here. Many thanks.

both of those sound pretty good to me right now…

Us? Ya got a biker babe under one arm…? ;-)

AWwww you work for BillO?

One under each arm, no doubt!

FunnyD

Hwy 50 Ea out of Sac, exit in Placer Co to get to Poor Reds. Keep’a going to get to Grass Valley.

cough *the clown* cough

My daughter lives in Grass Valley, we have been there many times! Nice most of the time cept when it snows and when it is 110 in the shade!!

Y’all ( I can say that every now and then because I’m southern). There really are some pretty good songs on the free album link in the post.. and there is a player on the same page at the link, so you don’t have to download in order to listen.

Bookmark it and check it out sometime, even if tonight is not the right time.

Certainly a Ho, ho, ho, in there somewhere…! 8-)

*snicker*

I don’t think that anyone has talked about Rachael’s video yet. Did you know that Warren says that his critics are engaging in hate-speech and they suffer from Christophobia? In the spirit of the season, I will not say that Warren is a disgusting example of right wing evangelical bull-shitty-ness.

The video is funny; it shows a comparison of what Warren said and what Warren says he didn’t say. Sort of like when McCain was caught lying over and over and he would always deny his own words.

Best wishes to all and stay safe, everyone.

nahant, I hope you and your sweetie are doing all right on this fine evening.

time for bed here. good nite, all.

Merry Christmas Christine and to any others I might have missed … now off to indulge in some goodies and spank these young ruffians at Pool !

Or at least a mwaha mwaha mwahahahaha!

FunnyD

The biker babes are kinder up in those hills. They nursed my seriously drunk girlfriend in the ladies room of that place, and deposited her in my car when she was better. Of course, they had to break a car window to get it done, but no biggie.

I will do it — almost every present tonight was music related. Lovely.

*Eeeep* … you said “clown” … looks around for MaryMc …

*poof*

I suppose the best thing about his exposure is it constantly reveals his hypocrisy.. as long a someone like Rachel and KO are around to call it out.

I heard Warren was doing midnight mass (or some such) on FOX tonight.

she made a video?
is this different than her segment last night on MSNBC?
Don’t miss the interview she does with another writer. They took him apart but good!

FunnyD

A true master singing a Xmas masterpiece…! ;-)

Time honored tradition of transferance. Obama uses it to full effect. If you are not with the “unity” thing, you are anti-amerkum & will be attacked.

In the spirit of the season, I will not say that Warren is a disgusting example of right wing evangelical bull-shitty-ness

but it would be irresponsible not to speculate!

FunnyD

Downloaded and listening to “Hide & Seek” now. Nice stuff.

I don’t know..I don’t get MSNBC. Found this at the link given, so you would have to take a look. It has a nice write up with it that covers the controversy of Warren being selected for Obama’s ceremony. The video is only three minutes so it might be part of last night’s.

Merry Christmas all. Here is my contribution, the Animaniacs Noel.

Doh! You and your high speed connection. I’m so jealous.

They mix African, soul, funk and classical at times. Could tell they had a lot of fun making it.

I’m speculating as fast as I can,then..’g’

Goodies — we had Turkish Delight and dark chocolate covered almonds. AND my drunken fruitcake!

Merry Christmas Neuro, hope you and your family ahve a great Christmas morning… night(:>))

Thanks HuLgh

New York Chicks are SO hot in black leather . . . sigh.

And Nickel Creek is ok, but The Lighthouse is their best . . .

Merry Xmas ES . . . more Americana, please . . *G*

So sorry ES, I shoulda offered a linky:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

Thile’s work on lead, vocal and rhythm is insane, and the story Nickel Creek tells is one for the ages . . . their finest. And it came early in their career. *G*

Merry Christmas, ES & Firepups! My extended family is now in bed, but earlier my brother & i laughed ourselves silly over Porky Pig singing Blue Christmas

I’ve only heard what Nickel creek exists on YouTube. Pretty polished production, but excellent musicians nonetheless.

I’ll drink to that!
Happy warm holidays for us all, inside snuggled with dogs and good stuff to drink. (Coffee here.)

Yeah. Top Shelf Petro . . . all we’re missin is the Louis XIII . . . neat, no twist, no ice. Room temp. Big Snifter Full. *G*

They started out as teenagers and younger.

Hit the bluegrass trail, and then developed into their own style.

Musically competent each of them as any classical trained puppy would be.

I’m not a huge fan of theirs, but they DO have material I really like.

Chris Thile has moved on to some recent stuff that’s classical based and he’s toured to support it. I saw it, and did not like it, despite that he’s got a few of the best bluegrass musicians with him on the project.

Wiki will tell the story if ya use ‘The Punch Brothers’ for your google.

Accountability 2009 or piss off.

Evening excellent pups.

Resisting sharing an unchristian freudian observation re: Pastor Rick photo.

Hoss, Gold Cadillac’s are found in any decent establishment.

The key is to call yer own ingredients . . . or ya get swill!

Sacto bed, and bored, since ‘88 . . .*G*

T – shirt!

I’m sorry, Kay Pasta was a Gold Rush 49′ers era Spanish Flaminco Dancer born in Italy . . .

ES, you’ve never featured any Hawaiian groups, here’s a taste of some classic Hawaiian Home Grown… C&K’s Sailing…! ;-)

Merry merry, ndfg…)

Try Poor Reds. They are very good, and bonus – when you get change at the bar, instead of ones, they dispense Susan B. Anthony dollars!

They go through a lot of blender blades in that place. And they use the original Galliano.

Resistance is futile! Share! What could be more unchristian than Warren’s words of wisdom?

LOL. I don’t know what to say. It’s nice though.

B-52’s?

Brown Bombers?

Doode, that’s right out of a 70’s/80’s lounge bar scene from a Chucks Of Hawaii Steak House joint . . . I know cuz I poured, served, cooked and sometimes sang in that enirons . . . ‘killin me, just killin me . . .

GOOD THOUGH!!! *G*

ES, have you recovered from your illness?

Cecilio & Kapono – those guys had some hits in the, what – 70’s?

May I suggest they frequent the Father’s Day Fest in Grass Valley?

http://www.cbaontheweb.org

There’s a music camp before the fest if they pick or want to LEARN to pick and, there’s the fest. It’s fun!

Always Father’s Day Week . . . see website . . .*G*

Suzanne, Larue sang!
We gotta get a tape of that.
Whaddyasay, Larue?

Was just a stuffy head due to the dramatic temp. changes I suspect. Yes I am feeling great and the temps are downright balmy now.

Thanks for asking.

Hiway 80 east to Auburn, CA exit Hiway 49 North.

You’ll find it that way, too . . *G*

Here’s another Golden Oldie… Surf…! Ka’au Crater Boys…! ;-)

I should know 80 better, since I lived up there for 11 years. But all my diggs and work was through the 50 corridor.

Best saved for a less gentle evening.

80’s too…! ;-) That was from their big reunion at the Waikiki Shell…! ;-)

Love them critters . . . rival all my youth’s best of he 50’s and 60′;s. *G*

have yourselves a merry little Christmas.

harummmph *G*

Now thats the way I would go…. This east on 50 outa SACTO crap is way outa da way… less ya exit onto the Auburn Folsom road east ta 49 north..

Come to think of it, I think I saw them at the Circle Star in 1976 or 1977, opening up for Jim Croce.

My girlfriend loved them, partly because they both had really long hair IRC.

LOL!
pretty good!

Hah, That made ya de-Lurk…! ;-)

NO physical evidence of me doing ‘A Pirate Looks At 40′ then or now.

In a few years, I MIGHT be recorded in fest jams doing ‘grass, folk and newgrass and other obscure thangs . . . and that will be available on my website for $15 a cd thank ya very much . . . *G*

u2 punaise. Cooking up anything special this year?

Not if you lived in East Davis and later in Elk Grove, and worked in downtown Sac at 19th & J Street and later at 50 & Hazel.

Mele Kalikimaka, guys…and gals!

Did someone say Circle Star? That’s my ‘hood, man! We were so sad to see it get scraped. I saw Ray Charles and the Spinners there. My friends and I were the honkies integratin’ the place.

I once met an ex CBS Records exec who “headed” the Hawaii branch. I said “oh, so mostly Cecilio and Kapono”. Absolutely blew him away that I knew them and that they were CBS!

HEY!!!

That’s my line . . . (snicker)

OK somebody stole our diggs. What the heck?

Did they play this song…?

It was a great place. And in San Carlos – Lily Tomlin, Carlin, Ohio Players, Croce – rotating theatre in the round seems an odd spot for high-end talent, but they all came.

Sorry, the diggs are showing again.. My last page refresh displayed zero diggs.

Digg Grinch of FDL Christmas present or something. Wasn’t me!

Yeah, and it wasn’t very big. But that was before the big Bill Graham Concerts on the Green and stuff.

Right. Surprisingly intimate. Tower of Power was almost too loud for the size.

Sound of the waves at the end..”every surfs”. Surf all day and play all night. Too much fun. S

I’m stunned that the Grammy’s have a Hawaiian award nowadays… About time…! ;-0

I guess they had a change of heart. Merry merry, dosido. I always loved your name.

Aw, thanks ES! *blush*

been a long day and i’m headed out

g’nite everyone – have the merriest of merries and the happiest of happies

Did Tof P play there? wow. did not know that. that would blow the roof off.

One of my favorite ways to kill time in a waiting room or during the insomniac nights, I’ll try to name as many local Bay Area bands that made it big. It’s a pretty long list.

low-key, and local. right for the times! best to y’all.

A very merry christmas back atcha Suze! Hugs.

This C&K classic reminds me of the Lake… Good Times Together… Unfortunately, it was the best version I could find…!

Mele Kalikimaka, Suz and Pups!

They did.
Oh, my… Circle Star makes the wiki

nite suz

Well, I better head out too…gotta stuff some stockings and get up early.

Before I go, I’ll tell you that my kids are now old enough to know The Truth about Santa and thank goodness. My youngest used to hang a paper chain on the fire place. Then she went really Homeland Security and hung a paper chain across every doorway and hallway like a laser beam security system. I had to army crawl through the whole thing, eat the cookies, drink the milk, and crawl back.

It’s easier now!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow, whatever tradition you cherish~

wow

When Frank Sinatra played there in 1990, the revolving stage gave a whole new impact to “Set ‘Em Up Joe”, in which Sinatra, smoking a cigarette, stood next to a barstool which had a tumbler on it as he sang the song. Because the perimeter of the theatre was lined with spotlights, there were moments during this song when Sinatra had his back to the audience and was backlit by spotlights, with a plume of smoke surrounding his stark silhouettue and that of the barstool with drink; a striking image that could only have happened at the Circle Star.

G’ night Suz…

just read that. very cool!

stay warm pups!

That’s funny!

nite dosido
sugar plums, etc to the pups. i am out, too.
thanks for hosting us eureka

Hey it takes all of us to keep that progressive torch burning.

Aloha, newton and dosido…!

Guess I will check out too..

Merry merry, CT and family!

G’ nite

Merry Christmas you Firepups.
Between you and me I really hate Christmas in it;s current form.

I gotta wrap presents in the morning with a hangover.

Happy Hanukka, Kwanza and here is to the folks that could give a rats ass about religion.

I did manage to have a nice present delivered over the toobz today, I am stunned.

G’thud and Happy Holidays to ya.

Aloha, ES! Merry Xmas! I bid ya’ll similar glad tidings…! Aloha Oe…! ;-)

Well deserved, Busted! Congrats! *poof*

Merry Holidays folks!!! Anyone awake?

Attaturk is upstairs!
