Loyd's BONUS video-clip, # 16!!! ---- How to deal with 'legal mumbo-jumbo'!!!

Groucho and Chico--- giving an example of what we would ALL like to do, when it comes to all the legal-lingo and stuff that ONLY lawyers can understand, in contracts and so-called 'important documents'!!!---

Loyd's BONUS video (AND audio!) clip!!!--- # 15-- 'Guitar LEGENDS team-up'!!

The year 2000 was a VERY good year, if you were a MAJOR fanatic follower of  ROCKIN', bluesy-guitar playing!! It just so happened, that was the year that two of my favorite 'gee-tar' HEROES teamed up to release one of my ALL-TIME favorite albums!! Here's the title cut (and official video!) from that milestone album!!----

AND--- here's one of my other favorite tunes from that same disc!! I can't think of ANYBODY else who could possibly remake this old soul / R&B classic, any better than THIS version--- especially after these two particular gentlemen ROCKED it--- as ONLY they could, of course!!---

                                                              'See you NEXT time, gang!!!'

Another custom T-shirt---- with a 'political' statement!!!

This is about as 'political' as the 'ol Loydster gets, folks!!! Much like in the case of my previous 'custom job', that featured Sonny James, I simply could NOT find a 'T' that featured this particular favorite comic-actor of mine, with THIS particular 'message'!!!---

                                    Like I was saying, about as 'political' as I care to get!!!

Imagine---- if ALL the great comics and comic actors of the past, really WERE running things here in the good 'ol U.S. of A.!!! We would all not ONLY be laughing all the time, BUT--- there would be NO such thing as long-winded, ego-maniac,show-boat politicians in Washington anymore!! All of the comics would poke fun and RAZZ them so much, they would scramble out of the capitol all at once!!!

                                                            Hey--- I can dream , can't I?????

Loyd's BONUS AUDIO goodies!!!---- # 2!!-- 'caped crusaders' on record!!

Just this past weekend, my daughter surprised me with THIS little item!!! She found it in a thrift store, for--- believe it or not--- 99 cents!!! Now, it was NOT in 'mint' or 'collectible' condition!! But, STILL--- it's both something I didn't know even existed, AND -- it features those heroes from my childhood!!!---

AND--- here's my absolute FAVORITE track on this album!!! (featuring a NIFTY little 'slide-show', put together by the 'just-as-GEEKY-as-I-am' individual who first shared this on youtube!!!)----

Ah, the childhood memories just come FLOODING back!!! I was 9 years old all over again!!! Laying on the living room floor eating cheese puffs and watching TV--- the second those familiar sounds started on this album!!! FUN stuff indeed!!!

Loyd's BONUS video-clip--- # 14!!! Groucho doing what he did BEST!!!

Running a VERY close second behind my ALL-TIME favorite comedy team, the 3 Stooges-- are the absolute MASTERS of not ONLY slapstick, but RAZOR-sharp word-play!! The Marx brothers, of course!! Nobody could out-insult, out-wit, OR out-JOKE / Zinger / one-liner my FAVORITE of the group, Groucho!!

Here he is,doing what he was the VERY BEST at!! If you don't laugh or at least giggle at SOME of this stuff..... congratulations--- your'e DEAD!!---

Later in his career, (in the 1950s) Groucho of course hosted the game show, 'You bet your life'. That is actually one of the few reruns of old game shows I would bother watching--- when they were being shown on late night TV in my teen years. It was Groucho, after all!!! Even if he was just talking with / poking fun at the contestants, it was STILL pretty funny stuff!!

But--- I'll ALWAYS prefer Groucho in the earlier films with his brothers Chico and Harpo. Those classic flicks (especially the first 7 or 8!!), in my mind anyway--- are PRIME Marx brothers.... PRIME Groucho!!!

Making a 'one of a kind' T-shirt, featuring the 'Southern Gentleman' himself!!!

Those of you who have been taking this trip along with me here in 'blog-a-wog-wig-waggy-land', will know that one of my ALL-TIME favorite 'smooth country crooners',is the 'Southern Gentleman' himself, the one and only Sonny James!!

One of the kind of sad things I've discovered about this truly unique and talented artist, is that pretty much NO merchandise EXISTS, featuring him!!! Oh, you can find hundreds (maybe thousands???) of his albums on E-bay!! But--- just try searching (like 'ol Loydster did!!) for... oh, I don't know.... maybe a T-shirt with him on it!! Again, I came up with ZIP in that department!!


BUT---- this is JUST the type of situation where the 'mad scientist' in me takes over!!! The wheels, gears and mental teeter-totters started turning in the 'ol noggin!!! The next thing I know, I'm snagging iron-on transfer-paper at the local 'Wally-world', along with a 'blank' / plain T-shirt---- and putting together a design for a transfer!! I think what I came up with turned out fairly NIFTY!!!----

Nothing TOO fancy-shmancy here!!! A simple black,white and gray design---  using fonts from the Microsoft Word program on my lap-top!! AND--- the SAME portrait of Sonny from his 'Best of...' album!!!

Next, my daughter's scanner / copier was drafted into service--- for the actual printing of the design onto the transfer paper (thanks a LOT, Shelb!! You are INDEED  a sweetie for helping dear 'ol dad out in this little venture!!!). THEN---- finally, after CAREFULLY following the instructions (AND managing NOT to goof-up either transfer OR T-shirt!!!), 'WHAM'!!!-----

One HAPPY  Sonny James fan!! Pretty CLASSY, don't you think??? ( I mean the shirt, OF COURSE!!)

And there you have it!! Now, I have something I can wear LOUD & PROUD to show off my affection for the 'Southern Gentleman', AND--- it's truly ONE of a kind too!!! Not too shabby, if I say so my own little 'ol Loydster-self!!!!
