I promise after tomorrow…no more Christmas posts!
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever you prefer. Since I started this blog, I have tried to post an interesting song or some pop culture fact. Most of you drop by for a view every day, and I appreciate it so much.
I look forward to finishing this year and discovering the new year together. I can’t believe this is my seventh year doing this, and if not for the feedback I get daily, I would have stopped a long time ago. I don’t know how much I discovered about music you didn’t already know, but I have learned so much from you all.
When I started in 2017, it took me around six months to get one follower, one like, and a comment. I don’t take anyone for granted, and I want you to know that. Also, a huge THANK YOU. You don’t have to stop by, but you do—you must be a glutton for punishment! I hope you and your families have a happy holiday and safe travels.
Signed
Max…the owner of this crummy joint.

Merry Christmas, Max! You do a grand job, and I so admire your commitment!
I’ll shortly be on blog (almost) silence for a month while Diane and I head back on out to India for a month. I may jump in here and other blogs with the odd comment (aren’t they all 😉 ) but I’m sure you’ll understand if I don’t find the time amongst all the lovely people, screaming sunshine, beaches, sights, colour and delicious food. 😀
Merry Christmas t and a very Happy New Year to you and all your readers.

Weird story…I met Al crossing the street on Market & Van Ness right off of downtown or you can call it downtown San Francisco. I recognized ’em & said ‘Hey Al’ & he stopped & talked a little bit. He was still a reverend then & wasn’t really interested in talking about his pop career. It was in the early 90’s.

I love Al Green…the next time I go to Memphis…I thought about dropping by and attend a service.
Yea I’ve read where he is like that…he will talk about God but not his past.

Ya’, that was it Max…he was happy to stop & let me know yes it was him but he wasn’t interested in talking about his past. I remember that distinctively & I always wondered what he was doing in downtown San Francisco then.

I’ve only met a few…the biggest thing to happen to me was having breakfast with Loretta Lynn when I was 8…a nicer woman has never been alive.
I also talked with Don Williams a lot as a kid…other than that it’s been few and far between…oh meeting Dawn Wells was one of the best.

Wow Max! You’ve been touched by greatness also. All 3 of those people I would’ve been honored to meet especially Loretta Lynn. She seemed like a person that had a lot that all of us could learn from & God put them here for us to learn from.

I agree……my mother and I were at her ranch when she opened it up to the public and I was 8 years old… she pointed at us and invited us in her house for breakfast…I can’t tell you how nice she was as a person…even at that age I knew.

Yep, all the usual seasons greetings. It’s been another great year, and thanks for the sharing of thoughts and opinions over the year/s. I’ve said before but this (WP) is how social media should work, good sharing of information and ideas, building friendships, not angry cross talking. Have a great time off. Happy holidays!
