It's the end of August and time for a review of our musical experts success in identifying the months references to old time musical classics.
On August 2nd, "Hot August Night" was correctly identified by Dennis, (our expert on Neil Diamond), as a Neil Diamond song.
On August 6th, Dennis took a called third strike on "Done Too Soon" which was a far more popular Diamond song.
On August 14th, Keith, (our Harry Chapin expert), let "Changes Keep On Changing" go by without comment.
On August 21st Maybe Tomorrow, an excerpt from Roy Orbison's "Only The Lonely", slipped by unnoticed exposing our lack of expertise in the country music field..
On August 26th our desperate need for a country music expert was made clear when Terri Clark's "I've Got Better Things To Do", passed by without anyone saying a word.
On August 27th Jim Dygert showed his worth by recognizing Leo Sayers "Long Tall Glasses", from the "You Know I Can Dance" report title.
What to do? Should we try to pick up a country western expert in the draft? Dangle NIL money in front of a free agent looking for a new home, try to trade one of our old time rock and roll experts to either Dream Catchers or DRC in exchange for the needed player, or just wait for A-119 to get back to the Lordville Estate and write about fishing again?
Dennis-Thanks for your report. Yikes that really tough conditions. I’ll try the Willow early then up to the UWB.Based on your experience and the forecasted bright sun, I’ll be taking a spot on the “bench”.Fill you in on Wednesday. Ed
I fished yesterday and it was terrible where I was. I fished the upperWB and saw 10 rises in 5 hrs of fishing. There were hardly any bugs. I fished from 1:30 till 6 pm and quit. I drove from barking dog to cold brook and nothing. I fished the mens club Nordec and stillesville.
I sure hope things pick up
It’s true. I took my eye off the ball and let the team down. My excuse is that the wife and I were gallivanting all over France for two weeks.
It’s all music to my ears, metaphorically speaking.
What….another Neil Diamond reference??
I’m tradable, but you won’t get any value in the trade. Maybe a few flies or I’ll catch a Cars reference.
A119 I will start making a concerted effort on the musical references!! I am not in Ed’s league but when working in the O R I did ok in identifying some musical artists.
That was a cheap shot on (done too soon)
Angler119-Please don’t trade me. I’d be worthless to the country music team. Iknow you havehall of fame expert Jim D. on the RandR team. But I don’t mind being on the bench. Just give me that old time rock and roll. It really soothes my soul.Ed
Keep on rollin’
