The Original Deck of Cards...

I was being all musical in my morning blog, then I checked my email and had a forward from my friend called 'Deck of Cards'...it was a story. Well, I found the original story (which YES does happen to be in my most awesome record collection!) on youtube and I think it's so much better hearing the great Red Sovine tell it....thanks. How did you know I was going to be all nostalgic today? LOL

i'ma try to put it over on the right because i dont know how to add it here. :)

Monticello District Judge set a Drew County man’s bond at $100,000 following his arrest Friday in connection with drug charges. James Kevin Dunnahoe, 44, of Drew County was arrested Friday by agents of the Tenth Drug Task Force following a traffic stop and is currently being held at the Drew County Detention Facility.

According to Lt. Jason Akers, Dunnahoe was stopped for traffic violations on Highway 138 near Winchester by agents and was found to have what is estimated to be several grams of 'Ice' methamphetamine in his pocket.

A search warrant for Dunnahoe’s residence at 131 Brixie Road, Monticello, was subsequently obtained, and agents, assisted by the Drew County Sheriff's Department and the McGehee Police Department, searched the residence and confiscated approximately seven grams of ice methamphetamine, in addition to an unspecified amount of marijuana, "a laser sighted handgun, a rifle and a shotgun,” Akers said, “in addition to baggies, scales and other paraphernalia” that were allegedly used to distribute the narcotics. Agents also seized more than $1,000 in currency from Dunnahoe at the time of his arrest, he said.

Dunnahoe was charged with three felonies, including possession of marijuana and methamphetamine with the intent to deliver, possession of drugs and a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as driving left of center.

I HAVE to show ya'll one of my most favorite things EVER. It's my new record player, and I've been meaning to post it on myspace but haven't had time. I know it's a sin to desire Earthly things, but I have fullfledgedly DESIRED records for as long as I can remember.
Records?? Yup, music records. I have a thing for em. It's a big ol' long story, but I'll just skip ahead and tell ya the conclusion because I'm feeling extremely attention-deficit this morning...as you shall see (as a matter of fact, this is the first true 'rambling' that I've done publicly so it's a kind of a big deal...I usually only let my myspace besties see the extremes of my flightiness).

~The needle is making that lil thunk thunk...thunk thunk...sound because the chunky lady has sung!~

After years of desperate attempts at peeling away from my dearest mom's grasp one of the most awesome country, gospel and oldies record collections in HISTORY, in my opinion, she has finally gifted me with about half of em. They would prolly be worth about $15 at a garage sale, but they're priceless to me. I grew up on them and wore so many of them out, but lots of em are still shiny, great ones like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Horton, & I'll always luv my ol' Hank. :) ~I think I (finally) know what he meant when he sang about the Lost Highway...~

This morning, I woke up, and hoping just like the little wide-eyed eight-year-old beside me that school would get a snow day, I headed to one of the best Christmas gifts, besides my records, that I've ever in my life gotten....a Crossley vintage auto-rama record player/radio. It looks like it came straight from Graceland, or Jerry Lee Lewis' pink house, at the least. Thanks, again, Sis. I LOVE it!!! No snow day, though....it's just a rainy day. (Why, YES! That IS an allsusion to the Waylon Jennings song!)

I've been listening to the greatest songs ever this morning...they are playing one right after another, from Tom T. Hall's "I Love" (which is why I'm in this cheesy mood cuz it does that to me hahaa) to "Fancy Free" by the Oak Ridge Boys, and even a little Charley Pride. OH, and they just played "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down." So true. So true. Thankfully.

I especially love KXSA 103.1 fm because listening to that station stirs my soul and reminds me of the years I've spent at my dad's body shop, ALL my hubby's shops, the race track, weekends and inside jokes with my besties, car trips with my sis, and a decade of listening to Larry Doggett predict the weather as I fried chicken and mashed taters at dinnertime for my hubby.


Larry Doggett, by the way, the longtime local dj for our little area, is a singer on one of my records. Ain't that neat? I worked with him when I did news a while back for the radio stations, and KNEW that I remembered him from somewhere but could never figure out why until my mom gave me the record collection a few weeks ago. His family traveled as a gospel group back in the day, and I even have one of THEIR records! He's my buddy, and I wish him well.


As I conclude, I realize that I MUST compile soon a list of my records so that ya'll can see how fabulous my collection is. It'll make ya just want to go out and drink some Jose Quervo with a lil salt and lime, kiss all the cowboys, and shoot out the lights...ohhh gotta go. "Common Man" by Conley is on and needs some lipsyncing....

~There's some common people that I hang out with....they're my good time buddies. They're my friends....-Conley~
