New comment from Millie:
Millie, here. I posted 2 years ago. Tonight (6/18/2011) just back from a John Morgan performance on Cape Cod at Jake Rooney's on Rt 28. in Harwichport. Nostalgia Night. Apparently John played same building 45 yrs ago when it was the Chuck Wagon.. Great show with lots of Farquahr music, lots of memories of the P-Town Jug Band and the Fabulous Farquahr. John will play in Hyannis every Friday nite at the Anglers club. Check his web site (not kept current) for his cell phone and he will tell you where he is scheduled to play. How sad to see all these great local musicians now gone or no longer performing. What great memories their fans have!!
Thanks for sharing, Millie!
Since I posted in June about the Fabulous Farquahr, I've received a number of comments and emails, many asking for more information about the group. So far, I have come up with very little. Does anyone know of (or could write) a comprehensive history of this beloved band? I received this touching note in the comments today from Cape Cod Girl and thought I would post it:
I have a tape of my Dad and I playing the guitar and singing "My eggs don't taste the same without you." I was 3 at the time...and it's one of my most precious treasures. The song meant so much to me that for my wedding, I tracked down a record and had it played for my dad and I to dance to...it was a surprise for him and we laughed and cried the whole time. I still have the record - hanging on my wall.
Remember a 60/70's Cape Cod band called the Fabulous Farquahr, whose members were known as Barnswallow, Hummingbird, Condor and Flamingo Farquahr? Saw them many times both at the Crystal Palace on the Cape and at Dock & Dine in Saybrook. When Jim Kane mentioned them to me, I tried to find some info and, unfortunately, came up with the following from the Shoreline Antique Auto Connection website posting:
In some sad news, we received a broadcast notice dated 10/23/2004 from our friend and noted local musician Fred Vigorito, about the passing of another local person well known in both music and antique auto circles, Mr. Frank McGowan. Quoting from Fred's e-mail: "...Sadly, we report that Frank McGowan of the Fabulous Farquahr died on Thursday, Oct 21 at the age of 65. The GJB's relationship with Frank and the Fabulous Farquahr goes back to the 1960's and the WTIC Hootenanny Road Show. Over the years we did some of our most exciting shows with the Farquahr. The first big show was at Joel Schiavone's Palace Theatre in New Haven, and we sold all 2000 seats! It was truly a memorable evening. The Farquahr also appeared regularly at the Dock and Dine in Saybrook, at Christies and Pufferbellies on Cape Cod, and any place in CT that could handle a sellout crowd. I've always described them as the most entertaining group I had ever listened to. They were exciting, funny, energetic, and always in tune with their audience. Frank was their emcee, and lead vocalist on many of their tunes. Whenever he saw me in the audience, he'd have me stand as he described the "fabulous Galvanized Jazz Band!" We loved Frank, and the Fabulous Farquahr, and we're going to miss them..." I looked around further and eventually found Mr. McGowan's obituary published at the Clancy Funeral Home web site. Here is the text:
"Frank McGowan, June 08, 1939 - October 21, 2004...Birthplace: New Haven CT...Resided In: Branford CT...Visitation: October 24, 2004; Service: October 25, 2004; Cemetery: St. Agnes Cemetery...In Branford October 21, 2004, Francis T.

Also survived by eight nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by his brother Dennis McGowan and nephew Sean McGowan. He was born in New Haven June 8, 1939, son of John and Margaret Purcell McGowan. He worked as an entertainer as Flamingo Farquahr in the musical group The Fabulous Farquahr, and he had a lifelong interest in classic cars. He was a longtime member of the Ancient Mariners Drum Corps, and the Sons of the Whiskey Rebellion...Funeral from the W. S. Clancy Memorial Funeral Home, 504 Main St., Branford, Monday morning at 9:30 with a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Mary Church at 10:00. Burial in St. Agnes Cemetery.

Probability is the likelihood of a specific outcome or event taking place.
idnlive
To work this out, you divide the number of specific outcomes with the number of possible outcomes.
idn poker
For example, if you were rolling a dice and wanted the number three to come up, there is only one specific outcome; at the same time, there are six possible outcomes because the dice could land on one, two, three, four, five or six. So the probability of you rolling a three is 1 in 6.

In gambling, the "odds" are the chances a person has of winning a bet, but these always work against that person.

The "house" refers to the people who offer the bet (the casino, bookmaker, slot machine owner, etc.) and they always have the "edge".

This means that the designers of the machine or game make sure that it works in their favour and they will always make money overall.

In every betting game, the odds are against the player. Every person who hits the jackpot on a slot machine is actually winning money that previous players lost.

Sadly, the longer you gamble, the more likely it is that you will lose money, because the odds are against you.

Tadacip tablets contain 20mg of tadalafil which is a PDES5 inhibitor which is aimed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotency) in men. A the time of sexual incitement nitric oxide is discharged in the erectile tissue of the penis (corpus cavernosum), and initiates an enzyme called guanylate cyclise. This expands levels of a compound called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) that unwinds the veins in the penis and permits blood to fill the springy erectile tissues to bring about an erection. Another catalyst called phosphodiesterase sort 5 (PDE5) separates cGMP forestalling blood stream into the penis, which results into losing an erection. When used before the beginning of a sexual intercourse, Tadacip 20 inhibits PDE5 resulting into continuing the cGMP-induced increase of blood flow to the penis so as to cause an erection.
