Happy Feet Friday
The
soulful singing of Larry Johnson, in “Catfish Blues”.
Wow, I finally hear the original and it's pretty good. First I heard Hendrix' Voodoo Child, then his live recordings of Catfish Blues which it was obviously based on, now back to the source. Only took me 50 years...
PS, this military deal between the US and Australia is looking so good, we don't care what you call our PM. I think the deal will get mass support here, now after the last 2 years.
The point is deterrence and our vast coastline. We had these stupid French submarines on order and it looked like a fiasco. Now there's hope.
I think it would have been hilarious if some saboteur on Biden's staff had slipped in a cue card with a bogus name for the Australian Prime Minister: "I'd like to welcome...[looks down at notes] Wallaby J. Digforth, Prime Minister of Austria [I think he could mess up the country's name all on his own].
Caveat emptor with those submarines, Bruce. I understand some are defective; they were manufactured with screen doors.
