Kate McCridhe has taken on doing an eclectic room for us featuring Critter (pet) Bragging, some Artsy Farties stuff and pretty much anything that comes to her mind.

What the deal is, I went down to this place called Guitar Palace or something like that, down on 71st street, to see if my guitar was worth as much as folks have been telling me for quite a while. (BTW... Verdict: Ol' Splurge is a good playing guitar, nice fast action and good sound, but it's definitely not worth the $$$ that folks have been telling me.)

Running right through it was Purgatory Creek.

On the other side of Purgatory Creek, there was a church. Over the years, some time a path and a bridge had been built from the back door of the family homestead to the church.

Then some time in the late 30's the church fathers decided to move the church into town.

They can be pretty crippling sometimes.
Leave you sitting in a fetal position in the corner of your bed, sucking your thumb... worrying about whether somebody likes you or not.
Leave you tensing up at the slightest sound, worrying whether you're going to be target of an attack.
Worrying about whether or not you will be able to make a living for your family.

We've all got our insecurities to some extent or another.

These soundies were the precursor to music videos... film accomaniments to a variety of music played on coin operated machines called PanOrams in nightclubs, restaurants and bars. Introduced in 1934, became a phenomenon of the '40's, and the last Soundie film was produced in 1947.
