International Jazz Day


RIP


The loss of Country’s Outlaw

Upon arriving in Tampa, I was saddened by the news that Merle Haggard had passed away. RIP.


“In the State, The State of Hockey”

Minnesotans love their hockey tradition. My visit to The X was the first time I had heard the Minnesota Wild anthem. A lot of history in the 2 minute plus video.


The Thrill is Gone…

Marley's Land Rover

Bob Marley’s 1973 Series III Land Rover has been undergoing a complete restoration by Sandals Resorts International and their affiliate ATL Automotive in Jamaica.

ATL really did quite the job. There is a video that I will also post. It’s just over 10 minutes long, but they go into the restoration fairly well for a clip. When you look at the condition the truck was in prior to ATL getting their hands on it, you really get a feel for how much work they put into it.
