When I was a little girl, we used to take Lee Highway to go around the Northern Virginia suburbs. When we got close to Merrifield, we would always see this huge figure of Nipper, the dog. Nipper was the mascot for RCA records. I loved watching this big dog and the record player from the back seat of my Daddy’s car as we drove by, I don’t believe it is there any more. But it was fun to find this old photo of a childhood landmark.
I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks. I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I would be thrilled to meet her some day.
One of my all time favorite musicians was killed years ago in a helicopter crash. At first they thought that Eric Clapton was the one killed, but it turned out that Eric had given up his seat to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Just saw a commercial for GEICO starring Charlie Daniels. It is one of their new series that starts with the questions, “Does GEICO save you money on car insurance?” And they answer with another questions, which leads into the rest of the commercial, “Does Charlie Daniels know how to fiddle?”
The rest of the commercial show Charlie playing his fiddle in great form, the bow is frayed and he finishes with a florish, saying, “That’s how it is done!”
I love Charlie Daniels and I’m tickled that he is doing this commercial for GEICO, even though I will never buy insurance from them again.
Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me.
