The facilities were not quite National Finals approved. The arena was two football fields long and fenced in by sheep wire and cedar posts. The chute gate was made out of airport landing and baling-wired to a railroad tie. Airport landing, for those of you who weren’t in the Seabees in the Pacific is a sheet of corrugated steel, six foot by eight foot and dotted with grapefruit sized holes. Each sheet weighed about three hundred pounds!

“Thanks,” said Dale, “But we had a heckuva scare buildin’ it. See that post…” I noted a stout post at the end of the driveway. The harrowing tale unfolded.

I’ve even taken the ol’ blue lotion and painted a few. I did that to a Hereford steer one time and put a white paper star on his head. He looked like an American flag comin’ down the alley!

I stroked him gently and said, “Ma’am, I b’lieve he is dead.” I was a veterinarian, I could tell.

The Harlem Blues Project specializes in soulful New York blues with a twist! The band features blues masters Jerry Dugger, Junior Mack, and Barry Harrison plus a revolving cast of NYC’s finest blues musicians including Bill Sims Jr., Michael Hill, Irving Louis Lattin and Solomon Hicks.

"On a roulette game, surveillance videotape shows a bettor clearly lost his $5,000 cash wager — and an overhead camera was clearly in focus when a hand grabbed half the losing bet off the table," reported Andrus. "Thieves might forever figure they can take the money and run. But with Nevada casinos on the ever watchful ‘Eye-in-the-Sky,’ odds are they’ll run right into the arms of security."

Luckily, Mama Bellion had a taste for classic radio and young Jon grew up absorbing the sounds of Elton John, Paul Simon, Hall & Oates, and Billy Joel — engaging melody makers whose literate songwriting spoke to the concerns and uncertainties of their generation. Later on in high school, Bellion discovered his own cast of melody-minded singer-songwriters, particularly Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, Mumford & Sons’ Marcus Mumford, and Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell — thoughtful, next gen troubadours with a knack for turning complicated emotions into indelible tunes.
