I was fortunate to have seen Mr. Hines perform on Broadway in "Jelly's Last Jam" several years ago. What an amazing talent. He really looked like he was dancing on air.
This year has been a horrible year for all these amazing talents passing away. May they all rest in peace.

I just read your post about being called the "Queen of Franistan." You know that's from one of my favorite episodes of "I Love Lucy." You'll be a hoot at our next apostagathering.
And if Fannie Flagg married Earl Butz, her name would be Fannie Butz.
(Translation for the younger set - Fannie Flagg - frequent game show panelist (Match Game) and author (best known book - Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.)
Earl Butz - former Secretary of Agriculture forced to resign over racist remarks.
These jokes are so silly.
I told this one to my 4 year old niece yesterday..
If Judy Garland married Howdy Doody, her name would be Judy Doody.
She just laughs at anything that I say to her that rhymes. Ahh...to be 4 years old again!
i was 28 when i got borganized....i wish i could remember the names of the sisters that studied with me....one of 'em's name is barbara, the other one was a pig...guess they're not that memorable....but the plano congregation had not been started when i first got baptised or it had *just* been started in 1973....my best sis friend was carolyn nelson, a six feet tall sis with two kids, harris and april....i was really dumb and married the first elder that asked me....it was a total flop of a marriage, his teenaged son caused all sorts of problems for us.....i "ran away" from it and went back to the "world" for a while....i suppose because they hadn't gotten the "worldliness" out of me very well at the time....when i returned, they publicly reproved me and we divorced....his name was bob repp....he was an elder in the white rock congregation....i can remember a few names...the farmers, steve scott and his lovely red-headed wife, but that's all i remember..... .
then i moved back down here with my older two children, where i was raised and later went back into the borganization....i moved to california in late 1988, got in an auto accident in late 1989, and everything went downhill from there, borganization-wise...i had seen so much cruelty from the platform....even a p.o.
who graphically and sneeringly described explicitly...the sights, sounds and smells of alleged sexual acts between two pioneers, as he disf'd the pioneer sister, while she sobbed her heart out in front of the congregation and only reproved the pioneer bro.....made me wanna hurl....the elders treated me like a meadow muffin the whole time i was in cal.
I can attest to the sweetness of Big Tex/cruzan's bassets. What precious animals.
Sounds like another person to join our D/FW bunch.
okay...i got hit by the writing bug again this week.
this doesn't happen to me too often, so i try to capture it while it's there.
this is a little fictional story inspired by true events this past saturday.
Johnny High bought that old assembly hall (movie theater) and it's now a showcase for country music. Best known alum from Johnny High's Country Music Revue - Lee Ann Rimes.

The old assembly hall in Arlington - I used to go watch movies there when I was a kid before they made it an Assembly Hall. Am I dating myself or what?
My parents used to take me there on Halloween night to get out of the house.
I never skipped out either, too many roving eyes in my family to do that!
it is just me or are all the women on this board bisexual?.
just a thought.. "three people can keep a secret...if two of them are dead.".
benjamin frankin - "poor richard's almanac"
Not bi but had some experiences with a woman years ago in college. It was out of curiousity and we both had boyfriends at the time. Regrets? A few, because my boyfriend eventually found out and he then wanted to join us for a threesome!
all my dallas peeps might want to know that the dallas legends of reggae festival (formerly the bob marley festival) will be in town this weekend at the annette strauss artist's square.
i will be there both days, probably all day as i take pics for them and host them online.
it always makes for great fun because i make sure everyone i take pictures of gets the url of the pics i take.

Negril Jamaica - you'll love it. I got married there at the Sandals resort in 1998. The beaches are fantastic.

About 20 years ago at a club on Greenville, I saw Eddy Grant (Electric Avenue). What happened to him? Is he still recording?
(For non Dallasites, Greenville is a street known for it's old homes nearby, restaurants and clubs.)
