Roger Daltrey produced his first solo album during a hiatus from The Who's touring schedule. Self titled 'Daltrey' (1973) was the first of his eight solo albums.

My brother had this on 8-track. I have not heard these songs in over three decades, but I remember each song clearly.

I didn't know until reading up on Wiki that this album introduced the song writing talents of Leo Sayer.

Roger Daltrey to me is one of the finest vocalist in rock and roll history. This was a good album, but like most of you, I enjoy him best when he's fronting the rest of The Who.

For those of you who don't have a copy - Leone's spaghetti trilogy is now on Hulu. How cool is that? Truly great westerns for those of you who have yet to experience them. I can't tell you how many times down through the years I've watched each of these films, Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.

I own the DVDs. You can get them pretty cheap at Walmart - $5.00 or so. I watched The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly a few weeks ago. There are some deleted scenes (in Italian) that are well worth watching. I don't know what it is about these films. I will never grow tired of them.

Asbestos (1959)

Asbestos makes an important contribution to our time!

Asbestos, a matter of time! (1959)

Terrific stuff asbestos. This amazing material will outlast anyone who ever owned a home built with asbestos wall boards, floor tiles or roofing shingles (etc). Asbestos products come with a lifetime guarantee!

thanks

I was listening to some of Rush's show yesterday as he talked about the Boy Scouts. It brought to mind not just the good memories, but many of the things Boy Scouts taught me. I was a member of Troop 54 up on Noccalula Mountain. Milton Smitherman was our scoutmaster. He was a sweet fellow. Both he and Johnny Bryd are gone now. Johnny participated in a great many of our outings. I had some great friends back then: James Harp, Mark Condra, Jim McCullars, Jim Young, Kevin & Dean Smith. I didn't make it to Eagle - perhaps I should have - I was too busy having a good time. I did make it to Star. The levels just didn't really matter to me back then. I was focused on being with my buddies and all those exploits. I appreciate the scouts, what they did for me all those years ago. Thanks Milton.

The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
