Saturday, November 17, 2012. What Happened to 'Em? What Happened to 'Em After The Battle, Part I. So, after The Battle of Hampton Roads, The Virginia. Faded into history, never to be seen or heard from again.oh no, wait. Actually that's not. What happened. Neither ship had a long career after the battle, and both died spectacularly.but in two entirely different ways. Bein' a good Ol' Southern Boy, I'll kick this portion off with the fate of CSS Virginia. After her little dust-up with. At about the same t...

Saturday, December 10, 2011. The Most Misspelled, Misnamed Ship In The (Confederate) Navy. Quick story…When I was in about the 5. Grade at Boykins Elementary School (All 150 or so students strong! We had a substitute teacher one day, a rare event in itself as our 5. Grade teacher, Miss Mannis, seldom got sick. We were studying History. Specifically The War of Northern Aggression (Hey, I’m from The South! As I recall, things went down hill from there. And the C.S.S. Virginia. And the fact that it was the ...

As I noted in the last post (Which was far, far. Too long ago.Sadly routine life sometimes gets in the way of things like. This one's going to be just a bit more complicated, and way. The Battle of Mobile Bay. OF course, that wasn't the case for all eighteen. You have an ironclad that has become what's likely the most complete...

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did! Saturday, February 28, 2015. Believe it's time for some more. One Hit Wonders. We're heading back to 1975. The year 'The Jeffersons', 'Barney Miller', and, most importantly, 'Saturday Night Live' premiered on TV. The year that the very first predecessor to the PC, the Altair 8800 microcomputer was released, boasting about 1/10. Cold mornings at school bus stops. The Boston Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds with a 12. Singing along with it. It's been called 'Th...

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did!!!: Yo-Yo By The Osmonds

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did! Monday, August 10, 2015. Yo-Yo By The Osmonds. I have a sneakin' suspicion that, as summer 1971 started winding down, The Osmonds were getting a bit tired of being a Caucasian Jackson-5 knock-off. True, One Bad Apple had gone straight up the chart to #1, but there is a price to pay for being a J-5 knock-off, that price being the fact that lots of people think that your to-date-biggest-hit i. Of course the actual term ' Rock and Roll'. Both apparently thought it w...

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did!!!: Down By The Lazy Rver by The Osmonds
http://tanksseventiesmusicblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/down-by-lazy-rver-by-osmonds.html
Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did! Monday, August 10, 2015. Down By The Lazy Rver by The Osmonds. Down By The Lazy River. The Brothers Osmond were hard at work as Christmas 1971 approached, and much of their labor had nothing to do with Christmas shopping. They were still looking for a good, edgy sound of their own. And when I say 'Their Own', I mean written, produced and. Performed by them. And when I say produced and. For a 14 week chart run.not at all. Bad for their first songwriting effort!

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did! Monday, August 10, 2015. One Bad Apple by The Osmonds. Ok, gang, listen closely, and prepare for a shock. The 'Justin Bieber' syndrome as it relates to young female fans is most definitely not. A new thing. Young girls have, in fact, squealed and sobbed and swooned at the very mention of the Young Male Singer Of The Moment pretty regularly over Rock and Roll's six or so decades of existence. Us Seventies Kids, in fact,. When I say '. Our own answer to The Biebs'.

Ya sang along with it and ya KNOW ya did! Monday, August 10, 2015. Love Me For A Reason by The Osmonds. Love Me For A Reason. Every guy's had a girl that just strung him along. Every. One. Of. Us., and this tune about a guy telling his girl to stop doing just. That could have well been an anthem for every guy who's ever managed to survive the living hell that's that kind of relationship (Again.all of us). It would also end up being the Osmonds' very last Top 10 hit. In the second verse being the most not...
