Finally I up-loaded a vid to youtube

I know it's been a while since I've posted. I did finally up load a video to youtube. It's called, Bob Gibson - Super Skiers Last Race.

Edited to add; I just removed the links, till such time they are allowed back up
I found out, Warner Music Group (WMG) claim that they aren’t being PAIDED enough money by Google for the use of the label’s content on YouTube, and have therefore requested that all of their tracks are to be pulled from the website. Talk about being cheap. Warner Music has pulled music from the bands, musicians, who made the music famous. So I guess even though they wrote their own music, they aren't allowed to publish that fact on Youtube.

Now to me, that is criminal act, and silencing the music.


I'm not sure how to post the video here. I'm sure those of you who read this will say that's bad. Well this is the first time, I've tried doing this and I hope I can do better the next time.

Sue and I went to dinner to the Branding Iron, on our 25th anniversary. Both of our children were their, Sara with her husband Anthony, and Robert. Several family friends were there as well. I do have a pix, of Sue and I there and will post it later.

I may have suffered a heart attack last night. I'll be going to the clinic, and have that checked out tomorrow at 6PM.

Take care and God Bless
Bob

Sambo's Celebrating Americas Bicentennial

This side of the coin says, Sambo's
Two Hundred
Years Of
Freedom
1776-1976

This side of the coin says
"Something good is always cooking Sambo's.
Then the date, in roman numerals, MCMLXXVI

These coins are hard to find now, heck they were a limited edition. I don't know the value of this coin but, on Americas Bicentennial they were given to a few select customers.

Here is a little bit of history of Sambo's, for those of you who don't know.

Sambo's Restaurant chain, a pancake-specialty joint founded in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1957. The decor and advertising leaned heavily on images from Bannerman's book, but the name ultimately was a merging of the names of the founders, Sam Battistone and Newell "Bo" Bohnett. making the name, "Sambo's".

Though the name was taken from portions of the names of its founders, the chain soon found itself associated with "The Story Of Little Black Sambo". Battistone and Bohnett capitalized on the coincidence by decorating the walls of the restaurants with scenes from the book, including a dark-skinned boy and tigers. By the early 1970s, the illustrations depicted a light-skinned boy wearing a jeweled Indian-style turban with the tigers.

In 1982 my Sambo's closed the doors to become "Season's". It was at Season's, I met my future wife Sue and that love has endured. But that is a story, for another day.

Also another sad story, Pat's Pizza, which opened October 17 1978 closed there doors, on April 14 2008 (I think). I use to walk from Sambo's, to my apartment, and stopped there in the morning. I was there the day Pat's opened, and there the last day. I remember watching Pat and Trish's kids grow up, in Pat's. The original name of Pat's was, "The Irish Chicken Ship" I believe. Never the less, that name was a mouthful, least for me.

My favorite meal at Pat's was the "Meatball Grinder".

Well, I'll write more memories later on, later all....................
