Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for December 08, 2012

What ever happened to a Dog Day Night?

Good Morning Citizens of Dogs and tic-tic-ing dog traders.

I can relate to both panels. Before retiring and after. I’ll take the after. Life is good, didn’t I just say that?

The way Mel looks, it’s going to be a Three Dog Night.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

How many more old movie references are there in this ’toon?

Good morning, CDers!

Is it time to panic yet?

re: “old man sitting” painting from last night:

Is that one of yours? I really like it!

Now, we all know that I’m famous for missing the point a lot…but, to me, I’m seeing 2 interpretations:1. That “Death” will be beckoning the old man to “enter” in a moment…or2. The memories of a lifetime all gone by are right behind that door.ora combination of both, perhaps.Like I said, I’m probably not even on the right track, but that’s how I see it. I don’t see the figure in the doorway as being of this world, but more as a symbol of what the old man left behind or of what is awaiting him.

In any event, there’s definitely gloom and doom in the doorway and beyond. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it…

What you said last night: I agree. It sucks.

It is cute how all dogs like to find a patch of sun to lie in. However, day trading is a bit risky.

Good morning to the risqué Citizens of Dog!

@happy We too use cast iron. It is easy to wash if you keep the pans seasoned and get them really hot to begin with and reduce the heat once you have put whatever you want to cook into the pan. Cast iron is the perfect non-stick cookware.

good morning people and pets.happy, happy, happy!!!

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, happyat home & all CDers out there.

Good afternoon Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie, and all the gang gathering for a Three Dog Night!

I’d just as soon forget my Birthday! :-D

happy just noticed your gray hare from last night! LOL!

good painting nighthawks! Food for thought to be sure!

Why thank you Number Six, but it isn’t tmr. Aw schucks, and I thought for one brief shining moment, I would be famous!

Goodnight, everyone!

Medellin, Columbia Christmas Lights

GOODNIGHT? GOODNIGHT? GEE STEL! :-(

(sigh)missed the party again.guess ill have to watch something on the boob tube.

“…you have an arrow in your butt…”

I’m listening to some Stevie Nicks right now from the Bella Donna album. I just finished recording the last of 4 Heart tapes today. Hard to believe I’ve got my favorite hits and album cuts spanning 37 years on 6 hours of tape.

37 years.god, i feel old…Dreamboat Annie came out around the time i graduated from high school.(sigh)

It came out a couple years before I graduated, happy. But then I think the album was released about a year earlier in Canada than it was in the States.

I can’t believe it’s been 37 years either. Dreamboat Annie sounds about as fresh and vibrant as it did back then.

For some reason, I’m now thinking of the Bob Seger song, Like A Rock. Just replace 20 years with 37.

By the way, Stevie Nicks also has a relatively new album out. I recently put it on my Amazon “wish list” I hear that it’s also pretty darn good from the reviews I’ve read.

I recorded every song from Dreamboat Annie & Little Queen throughout my 4-tape mix.

i know the Segar song you are talking about.i have both of his best of CDs

Her Strut from Against the Wind is another favorite.

Speaking of Bob Seager, let’s not forget “Fortunate Son”. And I have Dreamboat Annie on a cassette! (Yeah, I’m old!) My FAVORITE HEART SONG IS "DOG AND BUTTERFLY! I SO LOVE THAT SONG!

I initially went the “Best of” route but found that some of my favorite songs were being replaced by crap I could care less about. The same is true with Springsteen. I never did buy Nebraska, but there was a song or two from that album on the CD I bought. There was no Sherry Darling,Cadillac Ranch, or The River. I ended up buying The River and his earlier albums and tossed the greatest hits CD.

Fellow Baby, I’m afraid Fortunate Son was CCR.

I have my original Canadian recording of Dreamboat Annie on the Mushroom record label release, as well as the CD release on another label.

Though I may not have liked it as much initially, I think my favorite song from that album is now Mistral Wind. It used to be Straight On.

My favorite Heart song is Barracuda.

putting mom to bed now.ill be back later, even if for no other reason to say, night.

Fellow Baby, my second favorite Heart song would be “All I Wanna Do ….” and “Barracuda” would be third I think. Heck, everything they do is GREAT!

Fellow Baby, on second thought, “Dreamboat Annie” would be Second, then "ALL I WANNA DO ,,,, " AND THEN Barracuda!

Well I don’t have it on any of my vinyl and not on any of the tapes I have either. Unless it’s a bonus track on a CD I haven’t got yet, I’m not familiar with his version at all.

I can’t imagine that or any other song by CCR (Except for Proud Mary ) being sung by anyone else and be hit for them.

And I do like Ike and Tina’s version of Proud Mary.

Fellow Baby you will probably have to type it in but here is the link.

And yes I love Tina Turner! Have a few of her songs on my CD mixes as well.

good night people and pets.im just to tired to stay up any longer.

Wow, it’s really tough trying to rank them, Fellow Baby, but I’ll be as objective as I can with all the albums I’ve got.

1) Barracuda – Little Queen2) Dreamboat Annie (Reprise) – Dreamboat Annie3) Magic Man – Dreamboat Annie4) Will You Be There (In the Morning) – Desire Walks On5) These Dreams – Heart Album6) Without You – Magazine7) White Lightning & Wine – Dreamboat Annie8) Never – Heart Album9) Kick It Out – Little Queen10) I’ll Be Your Song – Dreamboat Annie11) Mistral Wind – Dog & Butterfly12) I’ve Got the Music In Me (Live) – Magazine13) Say Hello – Little Queen14) Straight On – Dog & Butterfly15) Stairway To Heaven (Live) – Little Queen Bonus Track16) I Want You So Bad – Bad Animals17) Under the Sky – Brigade18) Fallen From Grace – Brigade19) Hey You – Red Velvet Car20) Dog & Butterfly – Dog & Butterfly

That was not easy!

Good night, happy.

Grog, uninterrupted sleep. Ah. Bliss. It does happen sometimes, doesn’t it?

Yeah, but not usually on week-days when I need it most.

I hope I didn’t miss you Grog. I was listening to happy’s “Carol of the Bells”. Very well done!

Is that because of stress? Or do you know? I find I need more than 6 hours sleep to really feel rested, but I generally get by with 6 hours or so. Just not as well.

Refresh, Shika!

I’ll be getting to bed soon, like very soon. Just typing is making me sleepy.

I did refresh Grog!

Just not soon enough I guess.

Six interrupted hours Grog. If I sleep right through, it is great.

As tired as I often am, I sometimes don’t fall asleep until after midnight…and I get up at 4 AM!!!!

We had a Christmas festive potluck at church tonight. I am sleepy from all that food. It’s a nice feeling to be sleepy for that reason.

Monday I’ll be late likely again. I have a friend in the hospital and I should get in to see her again after classes.

You watch movies or listen to music at night. That wakes me up. This does too, I might add.

Ideally, I’d like to turn off the computer about 9:00 p.m., but I seldom do because I like to see people here. But it may come to that if I ever get my act together.

Well, I will say goodnight, Can’t believe Dog and Butterfly was on your list at 20 Fellow Baby!

If any of us get 6 hours of sleep, by the sounds of it, WE ARE BLESSED! LOL!

I don’t know how you get up at 4:00 p.m. You must be a morning person, or have trained yourself to be one.

Dry, I hope that you get a good long night’s sleep tonight. Fluff up your pillows, breathe in your lavender and drift off to sleep…..

Life can be distracting, can’t it Grog? Not enough hours in the day.

Well, I guess I’ll say good night Grog. You likely aren’t tired, but I do have to get up early tomorrow for church. I feel my cold coming back too. More in my throat. like laryngitis.

I hate commuting. Even public transit is frustrating. Stop and go, standing most of the trip, transferring two or three times. Ugh. Been doing it all my life and i still hate it. Driving would be worse though for me. In the city anyways. I prefer to drive in the country.

Fellow Baby, there are too many good songs and I do favor the first 4 albums. However there is a balance between my rockers and my ballads To put things in perspective, Dog & Butterfly was number 20 out of 91 possible selections. All I Want To Do which is in your top 5, is in my top 25.

Good Night *Grog, Dry, happy and all the Citizens of Dogs who work like a dog….

Also, Fellow Baby my selections will never be impacted by their chart success. If they were, I never would have been a Queen fan. Interesting how that when they did achieve chart success, I stopped buying their albums. I liked them better when they were billed as a fill-in for the slow down in Zep releases.

To me Barracuda is sort of a cross between Black Dog & Rock & Roll from Zeppelin.

Well, I guess I’ll turn out the lights until chefwen gets here. Good night, CDers.
