It's the weekend and time to try to leave the blues behind for a minute. What with one reminiscence leading to another, I first met Rufus Thomas when he came around to sell ads on his WDIA radio show to my dad's appliance business in Walker Homes that he set up to fill some space in a strip center he built, to get better prices for appliances he bought for homes he built, and to give my mom a job
Doing Wednesday's post, I remembered that the Stax-Volt Yuletide Thing in 1968 was where I first met Albert King, through my bud Rufus Thomas. I had a few chats with Albert after that, the last one at the lower level of the Criminal Justice Center in Memphis (Albert got busted more than once for gambling).

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - It started with a dare. It sparked a revolution. William Arthur Johnson, a slight sophomore receiver in 1971 at Widener College in Chester, liked soul singer Rufus Thomas' popular dance of the day, the Funky Chicken. Feeling disrespected by rival Drexel in the week leading up to their showdown, Johnson was goaded into claiming that if he scored against the Dragons, he would do...

Step...away...from...the icing.... Book Nerd had a birthday brunch/holiday decorating party. Blame the champagne mojitos at Moutarde, but a small posse of bookish types ended up in the BN kitchen, making bourbon balls and Christmas/Chanukkah cookies, and assembling and decorating this little gingerbread house. OK, let's be honest: I contributed nothing useful to the bourbon ball/cookie endeavor, except...
