We still have a few paper calendars in the house but not so many, and they tend to be freebies. Once, we paid good money for lavishly produced paper calendars to grace our walls. I favored calendars of a nautical theme, myself. In fact, the changing of the calendars was a highlight of New Year’s Day, which tells you something about New Year’s Day. There I go again: raggin’ on NYD. Of course, you got the best prices in January.

I’d offer to swap my ugly kittens calendar for your New Yorker, but my wife would do undesirable things to me, were I to do so.
Hello, Villagers! Things are quiet here today. TOO QUIET!!!

Still listening to Jerry Lee. Tired as I am he makes you want to get up and dance. Shake it up.
Loved Dennis Quiad as Jerry Lee. Two crazies.
I grew up 30 miles from Ferriday, Jerry’s home town. He had just married his 12 year old cousin and ruined his career. He was reduced to playing any gigs he could get. I wish we’d made more effort to see him back then.
He always gave a 150% show even when drunk.
Reading the authorized autobiography of Jerry Lee by Rick Bragg of Alabama. I think Jerry sanitized the official story.
It worked!
I haven’t heard Time since college… I had a roommate who played his Dark Side of the Moon tape almost every night when he went to bed.
Thanks all, for bringing The Killer to mind. Enjoyed reading the Wikipedia article on him again, and have a new tab on the Million Dollar Quartet loaded. Will probably lose myself down similar links for a while. ‘Goodness, gracious…’
TruckerRon, what happened when all the alarms went off? Going from ‘Run’ to ‘Time’ right?
Teenage me is ashamed of middle-age me. I can’t lay my hand on a vinyl copy of Dark Side. Would not have imagined it at the time.
And then there was Chuck Berry. He was as unique as Jerry Lee.

This London performance in 1972 is considered one of his best performances in a lifetime of never mailing in the performance.
Morphy, that’s too old a memory now. I just remember Time and Money vividly now. But here’s a link to the album at iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-dark-side-of-the-moon/1065973699
Morphy, the pops and hiss of the vinyl are still somewhere in my unconscious memories even after 45 years.
Morphy, I recall a cartoon that I think must have been inspired by the clock chimes on Dark Side of the Moon. It was in three panels. First panel was parrot snoozing on his stand in a clock shop. Second panel was all the clocks sounding at once. Third panel was dazed-looking parrot saying “Great God Almighty!”
I think it was George Booth.
New category, photos you’re too embarrassed to show the cat. Would that fall under “enough to make a cat laugh”?
There’s no such thing as an ugly kitten.
