From sanctuary city -- to 'stay in Texas'

From sanctuary city -- to 'stay in Texas': The migrant crisis in Chicago has turned comical.    I mean that it makes me laugh, especially when we remember what they used to say about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the law that eliminated sanctuary cities in Texas.

Happy # 73 to Gorman Thomas

Does time fly or what?   

Happy birthday to Gorman Thomas  who was born in South Carolina on this day in 1950.   He played his first game with the Brewers in 1973.   

It took him a few seasons to get going but he became one of the best power hitters developed by the Milwaukee Brewers' organization.

Thomas lead the league HRs in 1979 and 1982.   He was a big part of the Milwaukee teams that won the AL pennant in 1982.   

From 1978 to 1982, Thomas hit 197 HRs with 560 RBI.

He was fun to watch.

Christmas 1970: The Carpenters & "Merry Christmas darling"

Christmas music is great.  I love the traditional favorites based on the birth of Christ, such as "Holy Night" or "Silent Night".  

There are some good pop songs.   "Merry Christmas Darling" was recorded by The Carpenters just in time for Christmas 1970.  It became a classic immediately.  It is one of my favorites.

Here is the song:

 "Greeting cards have all been sent The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make A special one for you
Merry Christmas, darling We're apart, that's true
But I can dream And in my dreams I'm Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful There's always something new
But every day's a holiday When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree I wish you could see
I wish it every day The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire To see you and to say That I wish you Merry Christmas Happy New Year too
I've just one wish  On this Christmas Eve I wish I were with you
The lights on my tree I wish you could see
I wish it every day The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire To see you and to say That I wish you Merry Christmas Happy New Year too I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, darling?

Happy # 83 Dionne Warwick!

Just saw that Dionne Warwick turned a year older.   She was born in New Jersey in 1940.

Dionne is one of the greatest female singers ever!   Her songs are a huge part of my soundtrack. 

I've been hearing Dionne Warwick on the radio as far back as I can remember.

Happy birthday to one of the real pretty ladies of pop music!

Check out two of her greatest songs:

"I say a little prayer", a big hit from her early days and one of so many songs written by Burt Bachrach and Hal David; and,

"Heartbreaker", recorded with Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees in 1982.
