JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. U.S. FLAG DAY TODAY-- Today is the birthday of the United States Flag. On June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress passed on that date, the new nation's flag was put thusly: "Resolved: That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
Hope you put your flags out. I have my usual U.S. flag at the garage, the smaller one at the mailbox out by the street and a 76 Bennington flag hanging up on the porch.
2. PAUL'S BIRTHDAY ON WXRT'S BREAKFAST WITH THE BEATLES-- It has now started, so tune in at www.wxrt.com for Terri Hemmert's annual salute to Paul McCartney on his 78th birthday, which is June 18, 1942. Nothing but Paul songs, with and without the Beatles for two hours. It runs from 8 am to 10 am, CDST. Listening to it right now.
3. PIANO AND VIOLIN DIRGES FOR THE "C"-- Sure getting tired of all those coronavirus commercials on TV with the "dirge" piano and violin soundtracks. I may never be able to listen to this sort of music again.
4. THE SUNDAY CHICAGO TRIBUNE THESE DAYS-- Just went out and picked up my Sunday Chicago tribune out in the driveway. That's right, I still get the old hardcopy newspaper. I sure am going to miss this treat when it's gone.
Sadly, today's Sunday Tribune is about the same size as the old daily Tribunes. The old Sunday Tribune had a whole lot of heft to it.
CRAZY COUNTRY SONGS: "If I Had Shot You When I Wanted To, I'd be Out By Now."
