Thanks Rambling Iris and Nomadicus. Great picture!!!
Today's Question: Who are your favorite rock and roll musicians or bands? Way too many to document. I love the 60s through early 1980s New Wave bands. I love big band-swing, early 30s jazz, native american and other traditional cultural music from around the world. Too many to be pigeon-holed. Of course, if I had to pick ONE BAND, I would say the Beatles.
Bonus Question: Last weekend Queen Elizabeth II and millions of Britons celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, 60 years as queen of the United Kingdom. Do you follow new stories about the British royal family: With a lot interest or Kinda, sorta or Not so much? I only like the Queen Mum, her DH, and her immediate family and of course, Princess Di was a fave. I feel sorry for her sons losing their Mum and having it publicized all over the place.

Today's Question: Who are your favorite rock and roll musicians or bands? Timely question, I'm going to the Chicago Blues Festival tomorrow!

Good afternoon all from a wet (again) England. Only good news is the hose pipe ban has been lifted!! Now then, favourite rock n roll musicians, mmm.

Don't be sad - two out of three ain't bad. How did that sound OK? I do have a sore throat...... Do I follow stories about the Royal Family? Not really, I don't buy newspapers, or read those silly magazines. But, I have been impressed with the Queen in recent years. She has give her mottley family a shake down, and hopefully a few slaps, and managed to get the show back on the road!! That's all for today. My library book is due back, so I'm going out in the rain, bye for now.

Today's Question: Happy Good Day for Lazing and Eating! Hi!
Who are your favorite rock and roll musicians or bands?
~ I don't much understand what people mean by rock and roll.
I really don't. I play all sorts of music stuff but while I love it I also hate it at the same time. I can play music on my guitar but then think to myself about it and think, "what the hell did I do that for"?
I have music going through my mind every day for pretty much all the day, and night, and I can't help it....yet I hate it. It's insanity.
I own music by The Plasmatics, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop....and Rickie Lee Jones....I listen to them sometimes. Once every year or two I'll listen to Mott the Hoople.
I hear "Yes" music played by others, on their radios, sometimes....I like some of that, but the lyrics make no sense ever. The music is good to it.
Bonus Question:
Last weekend Queen Elizabeth II and millions of Britons celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, 60 years as queen of the United Kingdom.
Do you follow new stories about the British royal family:
With a lot interest or
Kinda, sorta or
Not so much? <~~~ Not so much.
Foodie Question:
Have you enjoyed any watermelon yet this season? ~ Nope. The stores want to rob us of too much money for us to agree with.
Do you ever use watermelon in recipes or just eat it straight?
~ Eat it plain.
Ever salt the watermelon?
~ Nope.
Just for fun:
Did you ever fall asleep in school?
~ Nope.

Chocolate Ice Cream Day ~ Yayyyy! I want a shake!

June Bug Day Lady Bug maybe , June Bug - No When I was growing up in NY, those creatures seem to come up out of the ground, buzzing all around and run into you. Ewww. Didn't like them. At ALL. I almost equate them w/ those nasty stink bugs but luckily, I don't remember them having a stink to them when we swatted them out of our way.
