Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Every Saturday I take time off from written on serious topics to have some fun…
(From the archives)
Memorial Day was introduced to honor the men and women who died while serving the in the United States Armed Forces. We want to make sure that message is not forgotten this weekend.
1) This recording was made live at St. Patrick's Cathedral, during Sen. Robert Kennedy's funeral. (Hear it here.) While both of Bobby's older brothers were decorated war heroes, he served too -- enlisting in the Navy in 1943. Are you a veteran? Are there veterans in your family? (We are grateful and want to hear about it.)
My father, he served in the coastal defense force during the height of the German U-Boats attacks off of our coast and then after VE Day he was transferred to the Pacific as an AA battalion.
2) Memorial Day also kicks off the summer season. What's your favorite picnic food?
Lobster, New England clam chowder, corn on the cob, steamers clams, and beer. A local store has lobster for $2.99/lb
3) Name a scent that reminds you of someone special in your life.
Lavender
4) When was the last time you had your hair cut or trimmed?
A year ago, it is time for another hair cuts.
5) Crazy Sam runs on Dunkin'. Are you loyal to a particular brand of coffee?
DD, they know me by name there at Dunkin’ Donuts
6) If money was no object, what home improvement would you like to make this summer?
A new roof.
7) What was the last thing you bought purely for your own enjoyment?
A projector.
8) When was the last time you rode a bike?
I can’t even remember that far back, probably sometime in the eighties.
9) Sam worries that many of her song selections reflect her decidedly Baby Boomer sensibilities. Is there a song or a performer that you'd like to see featured in a Saturday 9 this summer?
Well I’m a Baby Boomer so I want the Eagles, Queen, the Doobies Brothers, the Allman Brothers, and maybe some folk like the Mamas and Papas, Peter, Paul and Mary, and the Kinston Trio.

OH, that seafood picnic sounds divine! Here in the midwest we're all about the beef and pork. But the idea of lobster and chowder has my mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteCorn on the cob reminds me of Summer, have to get it on our Summer menus!!
ReplyDeleteGood music choices. Would enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteMy local Dunkin' knows me by voice through the drive thru!
ReplyDeleteI like the music choices you've made, and the corn on the cob! It's been ages since I've eaten any. Thanks for the reminder of great foods to come!
ReplyDeleteLavender is so underrated. It is a great scent.
