    You get all they way up there then realize you left your mask in the car! :s

    You get all the way up there just in time to punch out and go home.
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Clock out? You don't clock in till you show up for work.


    You need to come to Pa and do the thousand step trail. Its a few hundred feet higher than that little rock and workers used to climb up it every day to get to work......Then spend the day mining tons of rock by hand! They would even walk back down for lunch.

    And here is some historic pics of what you would be doing when you got up there. (Unfortunately they would not let me link a pic)

    Reminded me of an old picture (with added note probably inspired by Sigmund Freud) that a dear friend gave me 30 - 40 years ago. She had an antique store south of Atlanta. It's been in my bathroom all these years.

  • Minnie Pearl appeared a lot with Stringbean.

    Is that real? His upper torso is all wonky. He certainly looks like he had some guts....😉

    The lowrise pants look was a gimmick.

    He was rather older by the time Hee Haw came along. He played the banjo and was bespectacled.

    Stringbean was on Hee Haw often. Ivan, my mom and dad watched too. My dad played a fiddle and called square dances in his early days. I think Stringbean had a waist at the normal location. So, he invented pants saggin as BlueMDPicker thought.

    I remember reading a story during the past few years that he always kept a huge roll of money in those pants and he was murdered and robbed. I searched and found this:

    On the night of November 10th 1973 Stringbean and his wife were callously murdered in their Tennessee mountain home. 58 year old Stringbean was in Nashville performing for the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium while two robbers broke into his cabin home in the hills of Ridge Top. When Stringbean and his wife arrived home, they were murdered.

    __________________________________________________________________________
    Carl, Montmarte only once for me, and very memorable in the mid 90's while on a business trip. Perhaps, the most memorable "place" I have seen historically. Would love to return as didn't have enough time to explore thoroughly.

    The video is great. Thanks for posting. I saved it in my other YouTube music.

    The Vikings Series had an awesome part about the siege of Paris, and showed a rendition of Montmarte.


    The Great Viking Siege of Paris
    A mighty Viking fleet sailed up the Seine River and laid siege to Paris in 885. qt54zn22a0i3.png
    The shallow hull construction of Viking ships enabled the Norsemen to penetrate deep into West Francia using its long rivers as highways.
