My old man loved Jones.It's weird how things slip your mind till you wander back and revisit.Metal,Jazz and old country are about the only forms of music i even bother with anymore.RIP Possum.

Two prominent names pass this day...Sopranos actor James Gandolfini at age 51, and country crooner and yodeler Slim Whitman at age 90. We mustn't forget Slim's biggest contribution, saving us from Martians:
