Some TIMES You Just Gotta Say, "To Hell With It!"

By Bill Craig
"It's been a good (and interesting) life, and who am I to claim to be the 'center' of it?"

Of course I'm not!

I once thought I was, but then I got "patients", and got to know them, and their families, and yes, loved them, too!

Then it all just slipped away.

So fast.



What a voice, huh?

And while we're at it, why not a tune from some of my favorite pickers and smilers?

I know y'all will know my Darlin' Emmylou and my favorite picker Chet, but who else do you see?

Sorry. Can't embed.

Remember the critters, please, and "Bert" (my long-haired domestic) says..... MROWWWWW?

Thank you!

OK, let's see. The gray haired bearded guy is Mike McDonald, Mark Knopfler, who I believe put this special together, background quitar. The brilliant Everly Brothers.

What I don't know is, who is the third back up singer with the Everly Brothers, reddish hair and beard. Guess I'll have to hit Google to see if I can find out.

My folks used to watch Austin City Limits and I believe they have this special on video tape.

Of course this sent me off watching the rest of the videos posted for this special. Some of the best country western musicians all together. Don't see that much anymore.

OK, nuff playing, back to the real world.

JESUS, Becks!

Are you like, the "Wikipedia" of this blog????

Now I have to go back and try to identify the third guy! *LOL*

Mark Knopfler looks like my best friend in High School, and I firmly believe they have the same temperament/personality!

They also BOTH rock as MUSICIANS!

Love to you and DEB!

From me and D!

Nope can't find the identity of that third guy, so I give up.

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

By Bill Craig

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo
