Miss American Pie


Another first.....if it works! Trying to put a CD on to this blog. If it works you have music to listen to as you read my gossip.... lol If it don't work, well , I'll stick another photo on . Anyway, it is ' Miss American Pie' by Don Maclean. It is one of my favourite songs, full of references to himself, other musicians and tragic past events... I checked it out on line and found a site which explained most of the incomprehensible lyrics. Sad ...aren't I lol....but I love finding out the where's, why's , what's and when's of things I don't quite understand . Anyway, let me press a few buttons and see what happens !!

[ Several minutes later ].................... Ha ha ha ha ha ha! ......it didn't work. You'll have to make do with another picture instead. How about this one. The ' Lady Isabella' ....the great wheel in Laxey in the Isle of Man. It is the world's largest water wheel,,,still working and once used to pump water out of the local lead mines , It was built in 1854 and named after the wife of the then Governor of the Island.

John!! Your blog is wonderful. You are doing a marvelous job on it. I can relate to almost everything you put on it. I have a really old picture of Grandma Kelly if you would like. Perhaps you already have it. Also I have a really good picture of you,Betty,Susan and Togger that I took when I was over there in 1970 with Debbie. Your pictures come really good. No music with the last blog you have sent. But I received music with Katie and friend dancing. I hope I can find a way to get this to you this time. Donna has helped me. Evelyn
