Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down...


Keith & his offensive line
Me used to be angry young man - Back from the annual Cape golf extravaganza.  Keith declared the individual champion after final round canceled by rain, making the title slightly tainted (he doesn't care, though).  He/Vinny were less successful at setback, presenting little challenge to JK & our host, rapper RantOn.  The tagline for the week was, "The secret word is canal." Breakfast trivia question on blackboard at Ruggie's (where I ordered the Mexican Melting Pot) yesterday morning:  What famous Beatles album was released on this date in 1967?  THE ANSWER
  
Wish Gene Z a happy birthday, or just a mediocre one - your call.

"Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" (from Wikipedia, so it must be true)- a song written by Kris Kristofferson and first recorded by Ray Stevens in 1969; it became Stevens' first country chart hit, reaching #55 on the country charts and #81 on the pop Top 100 in 1969. Kristofferson released his own version the following year, on his debut album, Kristofferson. Johnny Cash also released a version of the song that year, on his live album The Johnny Cash Show. Cash's recording won the Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year in 1970 and hit number one on the country charts. In 1974, Cash performed the song during an episode of Columbo (titled "Swan Song"). Most recently it was featured on Willie Nelson's 2011 album, Remember Me, Vol. 1.

A few years ago, we were blown away by the Alexis P. Suter Band at Sally's Blackeyed & Blues Fest (we now miss it each year because of the conflict with the Cape golf trip).  The Alexis P. Suter Band will be playing at the Iron Horse Music Hall on Saturday, July 28.
