What? OREOS Changing? How Could They? That Just Ain't Done

by jeepersmedia cc, see link
A couple of days ago, 6/29.... I read on THE DAILY MEAL by way of AOL NEWS that those yummy OREO COOKIES are changing....What?? Not my Oreos...How can they? I'm getting to the bottom of this right now.
As you know, I'm a creme-person....Now fess up you guys, you creme or cookie? Everyone knows that when it comes to those cookies there's no just thing as a whole Oreo-person there's just 'creme'-people or 'cookie'-people....you gotta be one or the other. That's all.
Yes,...I've done alotta personal research on this kinda important subject, see MY story HERE,  you know, separating that dark. rich chocolately Oreo cookie part from MY favorite, of course, that delicious Oreo creme-y part. AND, I'll post an excellant informative video of DAVID NEEVEL's and HERE, that will show you details on just how to separate that creme from the cookie part easily...no muss, no fuss. ...just delicious creme or cookie if you like, even though that's way outta MY box...eating THAT cookie part at the same time as the creme part.  It's just not done....the creme alone, then followed by the cookie part alone. Period.  
O.K., now back to the Daily Meal's post about...new flavors in Oreos. Seems like those Oreo Creators [NABISCO] have been trying on new flavors ever since last last summer...starting first with 'watermellon'....what? watermellon? What were they thinking anyway? I could have told them that would never work. Then, they even tried 'lemon' and 'berry'...no go. Well, of course not guys.
Now, they've got a 'limeade' Oreo...that's getting some positive feed-back, even though that flavor is really difficult or me to even imagine. Some folks are saying things like:" “tastes like lime Skittles,” between two vanilla Oreo cookies."....VANILLA!! What? Oreos aren't VANILLA. I've  just about had enough. 
BUT WAIT, I read another post from again THE DAILY MEAL, talking about another new combination REESE's PEANUT BUTTER CUP  and, of course, that dark, rich chocolate Oreo cookie. Now, THAT sounds just delightul to me. Never mind,..... new flavors are a great idea.  I'll try THAT one....Where do I sign up?....yum.  Jan

DAVID NEEVEL's and HERE amazing 'Oreo Separating Machine' [thanks asen wd], created at  the amazing MAD DOG GARAGE, just south of here in Portland, Oregon. This is what the video page says: " Published on Feb 27, 2013

'One Bottle Of Beer,' You Know The Rest...Sounds And Tastes Great

by Cabanet Voltaire cc, see link
Look at this, will ya? These guys are amazing and. I loved this video and the taste and sound of these instruments....WOW. Let's have a cold beer and hear some more. This group is called the BOTTLE BOYS. Well, I guess so. They want to take their music 'round the world. They are wonderful and their music' tasty'.
The video is called 'Michael Jackson on Beer Bottles' [thanks Bottle Boys] Enjoy. This is what the video page says: " Published on May 26, 2014
- We now have our first single out on iTunes -
Check out our version of Party Rock Anthem - Bottle Remix:
https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/par...
Hi everybody! Once again it is time for BOTTLE MONDAY (last monday of the month) which means, that a new video is released! We are so excited for this one, because we simply just LOVE Michael Jackson. Billie Jean is a really great song and it is perfect for trying out our new technique: double bottle playing. The dentists don't recommend this we can assure! ;-D 
Nerdtalk: We decided to make the video in a church because of the nice reverb. For recording we used two Neumann km184 stereo mics with Apogee Duet :-)
At the moment we are insanely busy with a lot of concerts (a lot of them abroad), mainly because of our youtube videos, and for that we are truly grateful!! So thank you everybody for supporting us:-D
Also Thanks to Mariendal Kirke for letting us film in the beautiful church.
We really hope you like this video and that you'll share it with the rest of the world:-D
Have a nice day everybody!!!

Haunted SHAWN MULLINS Will 'Light You Up' When He Comes To Seattle

by Meredithwz cc, see link
Well O.K.,....This past week end, I really heard...I mean really listened to a 'haunting' song, you know...one of those wonderful tunes that I just can't get outta my head... repeating over and over....until I have to pay some attention to what's happening and do something about it.
The 'haunting' singer/song writter is named SHAWN MULLINS and HERE.
So, I just had to look him up online and find out more. O.K?
Well, he's young man [born in 1968], who has made some very BIG waves and even nominated for a GRAMMY, for this song came out in 1998,[the song is called 'Lullaby', thanks ShawnMullinsVEVO] but I couldn't find what year the tune was nominated for that Grammy, I'll keep looking.But wait, you guys, that's not all...he's had alotta success with his stuff. There's another song that got quite a bit of 'air-time', it's called 'All In My Head' [thanks ShawnMullinsVEVO]....I really enjoyed both of these above tunes, and I'll post links at the end of this post. O.K?
BUT, the song that 'haunted' me was called 'Light You Up' [thanks
Shawn Mullins Official Youtube]. Mullins heard the melody in his real night-time dreams, and it must have 'haunted' him too, like it did me.. he paid attention to it and wrote it all down....boy, I'm glad he wrote it down, and bet, you'll love it too.
So, I thought if you like this musical artist's stuff, just like I do...you'll want to see him perform those Favorites songs...So then, I searched for his tour dates.
Well, as you can see we're very lucky folks....Shawn Mullins' is coming to this area and even as close as Seattle later this year. Let's keep the above dates in mind.
Let me post some more:

Oh PIANO MAN?..ah, no....KENNY WILLIAMSON/drums Helps With My Sticky Keys Last Week

by Taylor Liberato cc, see link
O.K....for today, I'm reporting that sometimes,...just sometime, I'm just alittle too serious or slow, that's all..
Last week, KENNY WILLIAMSON/drums sent BARTLETT and I a 'keyboard', by way of the BLUZZZ QUEEN of. the known Universe, you know, SHELLY ELY/vocals.
I thought it was gonna be a 'piano-type' of keyboard [you know...music] SMILE. Boy, was I surprised, when it was a computer-type keyboard...and still, even then I didn't get it.....my sticky letter between 'e' and 'g' was the reason for his kindness.
Kenny had to write me and remind me of the keyboard  before I remembered it.
So, I've gotten alot of help over the past two weeks from our friends.
Just wanna say...'Thanks'....and say, copy and paste is working pretty well...just alittle slow, that's all. Bye, Jan

I'll be sure and post the tunes that we're working up 4 today at the bottom oE this page. O.K?
This morning, I thought and thought...'how can I Eix that letter between e and g on my computer that's still sticking and won't print?' 4 your inEormation,...I've also noticed that 'd' sticks once in awhile too. 'Cause, a Eriend wrote me yesterday, sending some helpEul video links, hoping to help. So, I know, people are starting to notice the problem. but, I have a laptop, the video sent, said use on a desktop P.C...BUT wait...I came up with another idea, you guys....'How 'bout that old cure, that I've used 1000's oE times 4 lotsa things...ah, you know...it's the old 'copy and paste' trick. Well, I'm gonna try it right away AND see how it works. O.K?... look...it works, I know it'll be slower than before, but, I have all day to fix stuff...yea.
Thanks again my friend for your thoughtfulness, Jan

Over 35 Million Records Sold... Hey, NO More War, Let's Have Some HEART. O.K?

by El Caganer cc, see link
O.K., What's going on today anyway?....Well, I'm gonna tell ya.... Steve's working up some HEART and HERE, so, I  looked them up online to Eind out more about this group...... WOW, Look.... They're Erom 'round here, COOL....well, Bothel, and Seattle anyway, [that's close enough], the band's mostly two sisters and they've been playing 4 along time...well, since 1974 and beEore that even as other names. Always, with the two sisters, ANN and NANCY WILSON, as the core oE these groups all along the way. [so, I just have to ask myselE one thing,..where was I since '74, anyway? 'cause, I just love these two gal's powerEul voices and songs, I'd call their sound 'a hard rock sound mixed with a kinda acoustic Eolk balled sound'.].
Today, BARTLETT ON BASS's rehearsing a tune called 'Straight On' [thanks
Kace1950]...I'm gonna look up more tunes oE Heart's, and post and list them below 4 all oE us to enjoy. O.K?
But, 4 now,...let me look up more about the group. Heart was oEEically named 'Heart' and 'discovered' Eirst in Canada in 1974, when ANN WILSON met MIKE EISHER, a brother oE one the band's then line up [ROGER EISHER], who had 'escaped' to Canada in 1972ish leaving the U.S., as a Vietnam war draEt-dodger,....WOW, WAY COOL.... Anyway, they got together [Ann and Mike] at the U.S./Canadian boarder and Eell in love in 1974, [neat, kinda romanic and brave, ain't it?] and then, she went back to Canada with him.... and, the rest oE the band Eollowed.  [yep, this just goes to prove once again that Canadians ARE very, very smart]...and, then later 'Heart' were 'discovered' in the U.S.A. and then all over the whole wide world. Cool.This band was put into THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OE EAME in 2013. Ann and Nancy have been awarded VH1's 'GREATEST WOMEN OE ROCK AND ROLL award, number 40...oE all time, well I guess so [Jan]they're the best. And, with their over 4 decades oE success in Heart, this makes them one oE the very best Eemale-Eronted bands known to all oE man. Oh yea, I almost Eorgot... there's 4 GRAMMY nominations too and even more...check out Wikipedia above. Need I say more? NO, I think not... They're really good, that's all. I like 'em. Jan

Reactions To Jho's Death And More

Bartlett and Shelly 2008, by J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc
Well, O.K. I reported on the death [May 31st] our Eriend and awesome guitarist JHO BLENIS two days ago...Boy, did I get some unexpected emotional reactions to this very sad story.
But, people react and deal with death in their own unique and personel way...I understand. AND, Jho was loved and admired by so many diEEerant musicians in this area.
SHELLY ELY/vocals said there will be a memorial Eor Jho, but it's alittle early yet Eor Jan, his wiEe...Shelly will let everyone know when Jan's ready. O.K. Steve talked to Shelly this morning,...music and keeping busy seems to be her way to deal with all oE this.
I'm just reporting the music news.... I'm dealing with it in my own unique way...writing this blog, Steve seems to want and need to just be alone and play his bass, but we're not creating this news.....just coping too. Let's hang in there and be gentle with each other.  Love you all, Jan

Remembering JHO BLENIS...A Guitarist's Dream Come True

by unknown
I can't remember not knowing, or hearing about our guitar hero JHO BLENIS/guitar when BARTLETT and I talked about great live music in this area.....Jho was the best, thats all...everyone knew that. Sad to hear he died yesterday, I bet at home.
I always thought Jho was easy to talk to, calm and he made everyone relax and be at ease. AND, when he played that guitar....he was so right on and he had everyone's total attention. There were times when Steve had the honor to play a gig with Blenis he knew it would always be a great night.
SHELLY ELY/vocals played with Jho in the band 'BIG NASTY' since 1995, says PACIIC NORTHWEST BANDS. She told me she knew him since the age 11. He and other members o Big Nasty had been in other bands over the years. BUT, 'Big Nasty' was still making it happen, until recently, Shelly loved him and his Jan so....she had talked about him many times in the past weeks with such sadness in her voice and eyes. I understand. and would silently sent Jho, and the ones close to him my prayers. Wishing I could do so much more to help.
I remember that Jho and TERRY JAE/bass both played at the opening day or LIQUID SOUL in McKenna, WA., way back in the spring o 2007. MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals , owner oE Liquid Soul sat in at the very end...it was a wonderEul night.
Bye Jho, Love, Jan and Steve
----------------
BILLY SHEW/guitar made a video called 'A Tribute to JHO BLENIS'  yesterday.It's on YOUTUBE HERE. Thanks Billy Shew.

I haveave to look at the keyboard, NOT the screen...to see where ALL those letters are, and my nect won't bend or turn...whoops, that's NECK, not 'nect'. Please, forgive me and give me a little 'LEE-way' [spell?]...Thanks, Jan SMILE
