We are so old here I had to remind my husband that we saw James Brown in Kansas City so so so many years ago. His plane was late but he did the entire show anyway and the openers were (I am almost certain this is right, though it seems crazy, were the Silly Wizards. It was a great night.

Back to it, thanks for this, love it.

Big smile this morning, thanks!

Escaped as a child Celebrating my 60th year in Southern California.. got to see James Brown twice, once in a theater in Inglewood California back in the day as they say then at a County Fair in San Diego.. I'm not sure what your rhyme meant but I used to always keep an inflatable raft in my car, it was actually to put in the ocean river or lake but I always knew if the tide got high...

I don't remember what and I don't have anything to put with it. Just one of those parts that show up in your mind.
