You can not go back. Study their menu and recreate it at home.

You must 6 degrees of separation from the "Brazelton Rag".

If you can not do this, we must "Impeach" you for your "non antifascist" behavior ...

Bobby Tony, Keep straying with your online musings. BCN is a record of your more than occasional brilliance.

Great analogy Ted: You are BCN's version of Jane Goodall observing the Great Ape; you, instead, observe squirrels.

I live on a heavily wooded, large lot, and I really enjoy the squirrels; even when they hurl their spent pine cones at me from 120 feet up.

Good post B.T.

This whole Trump /Russia Connection, as the deep professed hope of the core Democrat, is what a "witch hunt" looks like. Trump is unconventional and politically uncouth, but is that illegal? Does it rise to an Impeachable offense?

What it might alternately effect is the implosion of the Democrat party, as it is now firmly hijacked by non patriotic Socialists and devout Progressive Liberals.

Also, great icon using one of the prime icons of the Democrat Media.

Great piece of writing B.T. I love the roller coaster analogy, for I think I was riding with you for a bit.

Music is a wonderful art. Now that I am out of politics /governing, when I work with tools, I don't recite speeches or think about what I saw in the news, I think about music: melody and verse.

Commented on American Pride

I'm in full agreement with Rod.

American pride is not passe for real patriots.

You're right. I have dated two extraordinarily beautiful women in my life.

The first one did not work out, and this song rang a deep bell for me. The second beautiful woman, I married 39 years ago, and sired 4 children with her. She is still extraordinarily beautiful ... and my best friend.

Maybe that is why I forgot about the song for so terribly long. It is still a great song on so many other levels, and yes, those picking licks will be hard to duplicate; I may just strike out to achieve my own feel /mood.

Remarkably, my voice works fairly well for this type song.

Greta post from deep within your heart, Bobby Tony. Thanks, as always, my good friend.

Watching and listening to this video once again after so many years of forgotten praise of this song, I am very much looking forward to your accompaniment, Lynn, when I get the picking down a bit better with the phrasing of the lyrics.

You know B.T., Gordon Lightfoot has grown to look more like the guy who writes this music.
Commented: Monday, June 5th, 2017 @ 3:56 pm By: Stan Deatherage
As I said in my piece, I have not thought of Gordon Lightfoot in nearly a decade, maybe more, and then I remembered this fantastic song, and it is just as powerful now as it was then.

You are so right Sarge, and well said in defense of Diane Rufino's treatise.

Did you ever think you would live to see the day when a political candidate is nearly indicted on a plethora of real felonies, but survives all because of her political connections, and then brazenly joins the ultra biased "resistance" movement against the candidate that won by a near landslide in the Electoral College, claiming that President Trump is "illegitimate".

Bad losers and bad Americans all around for these pathetic core Democrats.

Great image Bobby Tony.

I recognize Greg and Duane. Who are the other bandmates?

Only two left, but thank God for Chuck Leavell. He is as much a Brother as anyone else.
Commented: Sunday, May 28th, 2017 @ 2:11 pm By: Stan Deatherage
I was always an Allman Brothers kind of guy. I reckon I saw them in concert one too many times. Seem them with Duane, then Dickie and Chuck, and then Dickie by himself.

I've seen a bunch of the greats from this great era of music and the Allman Brothers were always one of my favorites.

It is at times like this, when Americans will probably be asked to give up a bit of their privacy that one will likely question the propriety of the 44th president's predilection to use the surveillance of private Americans to further his political needs.

One more thing, Bobby Tony. This last comment of yours has enough in it for a mighty post; if for no other reason your summation in your poetic last line: "I would ask for a double-shot of Vodka in my Kool Aid."

Beautiful.

Great analogy, Bobby Tony, on an issue that not only Millennials will mostly not fathom, but many pathetic so-called journalists will never muster the inquisitive intelligence to fathom as well.

Nixon was not a bad guy, and was a decent to good president in many respects if viewed in an unbiased eye. As an amateur historian and someone who was well aware during Watergate and all of Nixon's days in higher office, I am very much right to conclude that the man was as mistreated and the corrupt and feckless Hussein Obama was lauded by the great groaning swell of Stupids that have far too much intellectual control in these silly times.

I bet Alex has thought of this an anecdotal possibility.

I don't think any of us were ready for the dishonest Democrat Media to become so hysterical; including Donald J. Trump.

Now that is cool. I want to do illustrations one day, or in my next life write a novelette and do the illustrations, but, alas, so little time.

So much to do.

I will have to be content to vicariously live through my wise, working contributor - Kathy Manos Penn.

This is the great myth, the great deception in America.

Liberals wring their hands about hunger and poverty, yet:

1. Many children are overweight, some obese like never before;

2. Walk into a school lunchroom, and any rightly raised person will cringe at the amount of food wasted by so many "hungry" children;

3. Employers are desperate to find workers, but cannot because there are so many jobs that 'Americans will not do', and many mindless Liberals would add, 'should not be asked to do'.

4. People in "poverty" whiling away their work-less hours using their "smart phones", while employing their flat screen TV's, jobless since there are so many 'jobs that they should not be asked to do', growing fatter by the day, aging closer to diabetes;

5. And yet still: "one in four NC children face hunger".

No wise person with a full working brain buys this Liberal drivel; however, if this nation is not Righted in intellectual principle, and quickly, far more than "one in four NC children (will) face hunger", including many adults, who never learned to work and Hip Hopped their way through public schools, and did not learn a damn thing.

Here, I agree with the late great Sam Cooke, "A Change is Gonna Have to Come".

One of my great privileges as publisher of Beaufort County NOW is that I have the wonderful opportunity to converse with my varied, creative and principled contributors, either in the BCN's comment section, or by private message. A number of these contributors, all my friends growing closer by the day, are veterans of foreign wars or married to veterans.

They are all good men and women, intelligent, and what they have to express or profess is important enough to me that I will move heaven and earth to continue their content,and keep it well exposed for all perpetuity.

They deserve nothing less.

Kool Aid it is.

In the memorials, it was mentioned that Roger Ailes 'was not there to build a channel as retort to Left, but to report all the news that was left out'.

For me, as one who has been the butt of the biased Liberal /Crony Media, I well appreciate the truth within this anecdotal comment.

Without Nathan Bedford Forrest, there would be no Forrest Gump ... Run Forrest, Run!
Commented: Friday, May 19th, 2017 @ 3:03 pm By: Stan Deatherage
I can see that.

Mr. Ailes was a visionary in more ways than one. People don't read much, and, subsequently, their writing is often atrocious, and very uninspired.

I have read much in my life, but I have read few books in the last two decades. At least I have an excuse; reading agendas and then minutes took much time, and BCN requires much reading, and always will.

Fortunately, I choose to do little reading on Facebook.

Very well put B.T.

After serving for 18 years with about 20 different county commissioners, let me make this abundantly clear: Less that 10% of these commissioners understood the true precepts of the constitution. About another 20% had digested just enough of the document to be dangerous, and the remaining 70% did not have a clue what they swore to when they were installed into office.

I would estimate that this could, sadly, well represent the public that elected them.

One need look any further to the idiot Democrats now rising to call for Impeachment of a recently elected Republican president when there is no crime, nor has the nation been damaged in any real way.

Good analogy B.T., but, I think the larger issue at hand is that Comey was in a difficult made far worse by the triumvirate of corruption: Hussein Obama, L. Hillary and Loretta Lynch.

Speaking of Obstruction of Justice, these three were in control that real justice would go lacking, and Comey was simply a diligent, dutiful pawn.

Excellent points TMc in this oh too politically correct America, where truth is the first casualty.

In my early days as a county commissioner (1995), I had a vote to remove the North Carolina Confederate Battle Flag from flying in front of the Beaufort County court house, and I pushed hard for its sustained placement there. A decade or more later, the votes were not there to keep it flying, but I then helped craft a compromise for the NC Battle Flag to fly on Confederate Memorial Day at least to honor their sacrifice to an unsustainable cause.

One day soon, it will be gone forever, and that is so very sad that Southerners would turn their backs on their forefathers' past deeds - good or bad.

Do you ever wonder what Steve Allen would have made of this Snowflake Generation, and all their deliriously stupid comedians pandering to their pansy-asses?
