I popped in to check on our tornado alley resident, wanted to make sure none of the storms made it your way @2WhiteWolves, but I see your post about the rain with no mention of storms so I guess they stayed away from you.

Aww, Kad, this is so nice, thank you. Caught a break this round. It was a couple days ago there was a bit of worry, but the rain in the morning, than clouds for the rest of the day, the tornadoe threat went down significantly. A tornadoe watch was up, however, wasn't worried I knew all would be well. Had very nice thunderstorms, the kind that rattles the windows with each strike HE rolled while bowling.

Bubba Shot The Jukebox - Mark Chesnutt

Love this song


Bubba hollered, "Reckless! Hell!"
"I hit just where I was aiming."
...
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was justifiable homicide

Going to go off track momentarily. Quincy Jones was one of the greats in the music industry, with 28 Grammy awards, an Emmy, a Tony, a French honorary title (that appears to be similar to a knighthood in Britain maybe) called Commandeur Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and various other honors, awards, and nominations. The 28 Grammy wins means he is third overall in the number of Grammys awarded to anyone ever. That puts him behind only Beyoncé with 32 (whom I assume everyone here knows), and Sir George Solti with 31, a conductor who spent many years leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and who I had the great honor of working under on a couple of occasions (and I think but am not positive one of the recordings he won for is one in which I participated)

So with all that said, one of Quincy Jones's early albums was Big Band Bossa Nova. Most of the songs on that album were arrangements of other works or were written by other people, but Soul Bossa Nova was his composition. So here it is.
RIP Mr. Jones
