Hi everyone,
We are doing some Christmas baking for friends again today. I Love when Sherry bakes...it smells so good. She even promised to make me some homemade peanut butter dog cookies. Yummie, Yum, Yum. We seem to always end up doing a lot of baking for friends during the holiday season. Something about homemade vs store bought I guess. There are those who think this should be called Laughing Dog Bakery instead of radio. So we are a little to messy to be around the computer. We will try and update the playlist in-between cookie batches, and later on tonight after everything has been baked. If that point is ever achieved.
Justice for LBD - courtdate Dec 11, Knoxville, TN
We the undersigned urge the court in Knoxville, TN to give Jimmy Lovell, the man that dragged this small little female terrier miles behind his truck the maximum penalty for this horrific crime. Do not let him go unpunished. This dog suffered and is still suffering and will continue to suffer. Mr. Lovell knowingly dragged this dog out of anger almost to her death. We urge the court to give Mr. Lovell the appropriate punishment to fit this horrific crime.
----------------------------------------
On Nov 3, 2009 Jimmy Lovell was arrested for dragging this little 17-pound terrier mix behind his truck on the streets of Knoxville,TN. This dog is now known as "LBD" (little brown dog). Authorities allege that Lovell dragged the dog for several miles behind his truck. Police were told that several people attempted to stop the driver before he stopped near Middlebrook Pike, got out, walked toward the back of the vehicle while cursing at the witnesses, jerked the dog off the ground, removed the rope from the truck, threw the bloody dog into the passenger side of the vehicle and drove away, the dog was found shortly thereafter on the side of the road, barely alive. In shock, LBD was rushed to the intensive care unit at the University of Tennessee's John and Ann Tickle Small Animal Hospital with horrific thermal burns from the incident but is a fighter said Dr. Patti Sura, small animal surgeon. Still in the intensive care unit of the college's John and Ann Tickle Small Animal Hospital, the dog continues to get pain medication and has been under anesthesia as her wounds are cleaned and the dead tissue removed.
Update Dec 1st : LBD had skin grafts on the pads of her feet and they are healing on track. LBD has a long way to go but she is indeed a fighter.
Jimmy Lovell has been charged with felony intentional animal abuse and goes to court on Friday, December 11, 2009 location: 400 Main Street, Knoxville, TN.
We ask that Mr. Lovell receives the maximum punishment allowable for this heinous crime. Anyone that would drag a defenseless 17 lb dog miles behind a truck deserves no leniency. If it were not for the witnesses that forced him to stop and for the wonderful medical treatment she has received, LBD would be nothing more than another dead dog on the side of the road. We must put a stop to this and all animal abuse and we urge everyone in the area of Knoxville, TN to go to court on December 11th in support of this sweet, brave angel known around the world at LBD! 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Dear Dr. Paul:
Thank you for posting that article about the Real Thanksgiving, and the role of Myles Standish in early Plymouth. I am a descendent of Standish and it has been my goal to understand him and the events concerning him in a deeper way. I want to know ALL the history. I’ve read the WASP approved version and it’s good to see the other versions coming to light.
I work very closely with my ancestors and live my life to redeem their blood. A better knowing of the results of their actions helps in two ways; it clears the propaganda and glamour from my eyes and it inspires me to be a better person in my daily decisions and living. It also teaches me history. Which I wasn’t very good at in high school. Now it has a whole new meaning as I think about my ancestors living in those times and places. My nieces and nephews will learn the truth from me. And their children too.
For what its worth, I apologise for my grandfathers actions. Indeed all my ancestors.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Clarence Standish, IV
The Real Thanksgiving
Gwa! Gwa! Gwa!
Now the time has come!
Hear us, Lord of the Sky!
We are here to speak the truth,
for you do not hear lies,
We are your children, Lord of the Sky.
Now begins the Gayant' gogwus
This sacred fire and sacred tobacco
And through this smoke
We offer our prayers
We are your children, Lord of the Sky.
Now in the beginning of all things
You provided that we inherit your creation
You said: I shall make the earth
on which people shall live
And they shall look to the earth as their mother
And they shall say, "It is she who supports us."
You said that we should always be thankful
For our earth and for each other
So it is that we are gathered here
We are your children, Lord of the Sky.
Now again the smoke rises
And again we offer prayers
You said that food should be placed beside us
And it should be ours in exchange for our labor.
You thought that ours should be a world
where green grass of many kinds should grow
You said that some should be medicines
And that one should be Ona'o
the sacred food, our sister corn
You gave to her two clinging sisters
beautiful Oa'geta, our sister beans
and bountiful Nyo'sowane, our sister squash
The three sacred sisters; they who sustain us.
This is what you thought, Lord of the Sky.
Thus did you think to provide for us
And you ordered that when the warm season comes,
That we should see the return of life
And remember you, and be thankful,
and gather here by the sacred fire.
So now again the smoke arises
We the people offer our prayers
We speak to you through the rising smoke
We are thankful, Lord of the Sky.

The magnificently indefinable Asylum Street Spankers began in 1994 during a booze and hallucinogen-fueled party at the Dabbs Hotel in Llano, Texas. There Christina Marrs met Wammo. During a night spent singing and playing along the banks of the Llano River they discovered a shared love for early 20th century music. Upon returning to Austin they gathered a few like-minded pals and began playing free shows at clubs and busking around town. Read more...

We put a couple songs by these guys on the playlist, "Jimmy Bell", "Narrow Road", and "About the Eye Game". You'll either love this band, or totally hate them. I don't think there's a middle ground with them. They are kind of like, blues meets jazz, and explodes. We picked 15.60.75 (Numbers Band) as our first featured band, because these guys were, and still are a really awesome band. This is one of the most underplayed, under recognized bands, I could think of. I myself had forgotten about them, until I read an article recently about Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders, and her brother Terry Hynde, who plays saxophone for the band. So I Googled them, and found out they were still around and playing gigs. The Pretenders just recorded a Bob Kidney song called, Rosalee. It's on their new CD "Break Up The Concrete".
The band has an interesting history. Kent Ohio right after the campus shooting, was a hot spot, and this was the new hot band to see. I spent many years in those dark, crowded, smoked filled bars myself, watching this band play night after night. From right after the Kove burned down, to J.B.'s, down to the Robin hood, then Ponchos, back down and up. A lot of great memories connected to this band. It was a wild ride. I'm glad I was there to experience it, and grateful to have survived it.
Here's a recent video I found of them, The New Matchbox Blues.
