Just For Fun

I will attempt to list all the nationally and internationally known musical acts I have had the privilege of seeing and hearing in my lifetime in chronological (sort of) order:

Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Temptations, Four Tops, Tams, Alice Cooper, Doobie Brothers, Three Dog Night, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Wet Wille, Elvin Bishop Band, Jesse Colin Young, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney & Wings, Electric Light Orchestra, Linda Rondstadt, Earl Scruggs Revue, Fleetwood Mac, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., JD Sumner & the Stamps, Brooklyn Bridge, The Judds, Conway Twitty, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band.

Wow, not that many when you see them all on one page. I may have left someone off the list I cannot recall and I may have added some I "thought" I saw.

Daylight Savings Time

I probably mention this subject every year (I haven't checked the archives) on my blog or Facebook, so I probably sound like a record with the needle stuck. I never have or never will like daylight savings time. Before everyone tells me the reasons for it and the benefits of it, I get it. I always feel lousy several days after the time change until my body adjusts. God has already given us built-in DST...it's called summer. I remember as a kid before the state of North Carolina jumped on the DST train there was plenty of daylight stretching into the evening hours. We never came in from work or play until after 9PM. It's artificial and I prefer natural. That's all.

Couldn't Fight It

Referring to an earlier post on this blog, I couldn't fight the temptation. I just received, by mail, my brand new leather-bound copy of the Holman Christian Standard Bible. It's beautiful! Nice weight and size, plus the layout is single-column with adequate sized font for my aging eyes. Great buy from evangelicalbible.com.
