The Texas primary is March 3 and runoffs are likely. Democrats make fools of themselves at the SOTU.

Trump's SOTU speech puts the GOP back in the game. Rep. Green puts on another silly show. Why did Cuba shoot at a US fishing boat? We remember Johnny Cash (1932-2003) and Fats Domino (1928-2017).

This Al Green ain't singing ‘Let's stay together’


That's Al for you. He always wants to get thrown out of the speech. I guess it must pay dividends in his district or something like that.

We remember Fats Domino (1928-2017)


We remember  Antoine Domino, the great Fats Domino who was born in New Orleans on this day in 1928.   He died in 2017 at age 89.   

He was one of the early rockers and best entertainers ever.   Some of his hits were:   "Blue Monday", “Blueberry Hill” , “Ain’t that a shame” and "Walking to New Orleans".     

You have to check out one of his many hits.

Like many of you, I learned a lot about Johnny Cash from that film "I walk the line".    It probably introduced a lot of young people to his career and songbook.

Cash was born on this day in 1932 and died in 2003.   

Cash was was one of the great male vocalists of the 20th century.   His style and voice were very unique.  Furthermore, he hung around with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis in the early days of Sun Records and rock and roll.

Check out a Johnny Cash today song today.   There are many to pick from.

On this day in 1993, a terrorist bomb exploded in a World Trade Center parking lot in New York City.   It left a crater 60 feet wide and caused the collapse of several steel-reinforced concrete floors in the vicinity of the blast.   Six people were killed and 1,000 injured. 

We remind you that this attack happened 10 years before the US invaded Iraq.

Happy # 79 Terry Crowley




We remember Terry Crowley who was born in New York on this day in 1947.

He came up with the Orioles in September 1969.   Unfortunately, Terry had a hard time getting any at bats with Don Buford, Paul Blair and Frank Robinson in the outfield.   He could also play first but Boog Powell had that job.

Baltimore traded Crowley to Cincinnati after the 1973 season and then he went to Atlanta.   

He returned to Baltimore in 1976 and found his niche as a left handed pinch hitter.   
Crowley hit .317 from 1977-81 as Earl Weaver's favorite late inning bat.     Great guy!
