New thread!

 Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well for example, last Tuesday Fred and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. 

When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?" He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.

So Fred called him a shithead. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. 

The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Then our bus came and we got on it.

                                                                  

    

Fred and Sam

                                                                        

 Fred and Sam, two friends, very old and frail, met in the park every day to feed the birds, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Fred didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.

But after Fred hadn't shown up for a week or so, Sam really got worried.

However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Sam didn't know where Fred lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Sam figured he had seen the last of Fred but one day, Sam approached the park and -- lo and behold! -- there sat Fred!
Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, "For crying out loud Fred what in the world happened to you?"

Fred replied, "I was in jail."

"Jail?" cried Sam. "What in the world for?"

"Well," Fred said, "you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?"

"Yeah," said Sam, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well, one day she filed rape charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded 'guilty'."

The damn judge gave me 30 days for lying under oath.

                                                                   ********************

Fred is working on his recovery, it will take some time but he is determined to get there and appreciates all the well wishes. Please continue dropping in and posting a tune.

Saying Goodbye

 It's been a lot of years, several accounts, lots of those I've thought of as friends, some I've grown to love. There have been great discussions, lots of laughs and some heated discussions, but even those were cherished. As time passes we grow in our experiences. Unfortunately, we all grow older and at some point our health fails us, making it impossible to keep up with the things we want to continue doing. Therefore, this will be the last I post on Ribbey's Roadhouse. I will leave it open and funded through my account for those who wish to return to this particular post and comment to friends, for as long as I breathe. 

Be kind to each other.

So far... SO GOOD !

 Yes, it's been a long time, no excuses. All I can say is "shit happens" and the older we get, the DEEPER IT GETS.

HERE'S TO DEEP SHIT ! There's more coming, but we will get through it. 

POST EM IF YA GOT EM !

Anybody out there ?

 I'd like to say "thank you" to those who keep coming back to these pages. 

You should know... people who have never met you, never seen you in person, have grown to know you through your comments, posts, and your regular contributions on this platform. They look forward to reading those comments, listening to that music, and seeing what you have to share. Ribbey went from an occasional thread on the disqus "channels system" to a regular content creator, a daily thread,, with thousands of views, comments, and almost a thousand regular subscribers. We ranked the #2 spot on the "Music Channel" listings. Not bad at all for the old Disqus system. Times have change, huh ? I just want to say thank you, to those of you who have hung out here with the nicest, kindest, and most caring people on the WWW. BTW, You have GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC !

Moods...

 Say it in A SONG !

Everywhere has history !

 

Where is your towns history ?

Does it have "Fame", "Notoriety", a "Reputation"? "Energy"? 

EVERYWHERE I've ever been offers 'something' you'll find almost NOWHERE ELSE. 

I now live in my ancestral home of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Home of "the singing river" and "The Swampers". "The Swampers" were the original studio band for the Jackson Highways FAME recording studio, who brought in the late 60s-late70s rock era with Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, The Almond Brothers, and the first recordings of  Lynyrd Skynyrd. This was soon followed up by anyone and everyone who wanted a number one hit, including those already considered as "super stars" such as Elvis, the Stones, Elton John, etc..

These events transformed the ZERO TRAFFIC LIGHT, ONE HORSE TOWN it was, into the 10 traffic light, 3 horse town it is today ! 

Anyone famous from your area? 

Any special events?

Special attractions ?

What about scenery ?

Geography?

The friutbat invasion of 51 ?
