but what about the factor of heightened immune response? How is that related to allergies, diabetes and high blood pressure? Here’s an hour of investigation by the BBC. You may need to raise the volume.

1948 was a major turning point for Dad. He turned 42 down on the farm. He built the “studio” on the highest point of the skyline that could be seen from Highway #181 headed South from almost Karnes City.
Kenedy was a growing and thriving community, but just like everyone else combined with inflation from the cost of World War two and the drought that lasted for seven years, Dad, left for higher ground and a job in the city. He found work in San Antonio with
Claude B. Aniol who owned a large advertising agency in the Transit Tower, on Naverro and La Vita and bought a unfinished house in Woodlawn Hills 243 Oak Knoll and lived there till 1953. The longest 5 years I’ll ever remember.
His Mother “Sabra” died that year and also my

I walked every inch of WhippleWorld inspecting the trees. Only about half of the property is effected so far. There are now a total of 52 oaks and 4 elms dead. Four of the oaks are large, one is giant but that tree was not healthy to start with. None of the giant oaks near Alligator Creek are effected. I marked all the sick trees so I can track changes.
It’s not as bad as I thought it would be and I’m grateful for every tree that is surviving.

Earl, Alex, John, Douglas and Richard ..Lived in the 300 block of Skyview in Woodlawn Hills overlooking San Antonio just 5 blocks from our home on Oak Knoll Drive from my 5th grade year through high school. Their father was the preacher for the big downtown Baptist Church.
Their mother “Louise” had come from the Highland Park area and her mother had been my mother’s piano teacher on Kayton Avenue in the twenty’s.
Small world? It gets smaller!
She still had the huge rosewood square grand piano in her living room. She played a piano for the Church and sang every Sunday and Douglas chauffeured their big long black 1946 Fleetwood Cadillac parked in

I’m fascinated by the Hang Drum. It’s similar to a steel drum; it’s like an inside-out steel drum you hold in your lap. Here’s the deal… only these guys make them and you have to write a letter asking to be considered to be allowed to be put on a list to buy one next year. AND you have to fly to Switzerland for an “interview“. I actually saw one on eBay today before I knew these details. For a thing that at first glance looks like would be $300 used, I was surprised to see this this auction is already up to $5,100. That’s not some pipe dream opening bid, that’s what they’re getting. I wonder how hard a similar instrument would be to make? Melodic hand drums have been around forever and were usually homemade by poor people like us. I know there’s lot of info out there on how to DIY and voice steel drums which I would just guess would be the same basic process as this.

My kids think we missed these times, Not true! We old guys did not miss much. I remember my parents jitterbugging in the park when I was seven. We all did what we did in our minds the rest of our lifes and beyond. They could bug and I could bop.
Just get in the mood!

I grabbed this clip because of the hat talk – Jimmie gave Susan one that she fell in love with. Seems like I say this pretty often but… this was a particularly good night at The Faust. Hope you were listening on cyber radio.

how can you afford to do that without any ads?

I love hanging out with you guys!
Are you going to go?
Now the question remains will you be able to play the piano? 
I just found the "recent comments" nested in the sidebar. THAT is making it easier to stay up with the comments. 
It's a shame because the weather is perfect. This is when you have a good chance to catch big Redfish off the pier at Port A. GO SPURS!!! We have the spot reserved all day and all night so drive up if you suddenly need salvation. Jimmie has decided she would like to play an extended set so all Jimmie Whipple fans need to make sure and come tonight 
We don't have to have hot, we'd take warm.
