Charlie Daniels, 83, died today due to a hemorrhagic stroke.
Mr. Daniels made his first mark as a session musician in the late 1960s and early ’70s, playing guitar, bass, fiddle and banjo on Nashville recordings by Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr and Leonard Cohen. He also produced albums for the Youngbloods, including the group’s 1969 folk-rock touchstone, “Elephant Mountain.”
But his greatest acclaim came as the leader of the Charlie Daniels Band, a country-rock ensemble that hosted the Volunteer Jam, the freewheeling Southern music festival, established in 1974, that featured Roy Acuff, Stevie Ray Vaughn, James Brown and the Marshall Tucker Band.

Gout flareup since Thursday so I had a chance to binge some TV shows from Amazon through my Firestick
Uploaded - guy dies and "soul" is transported into a download so he can continue to "live" and communicate with the living. Com-Drama
7.6/10
The Boys - Superheros are real and are also a corporation with a very dark side. A few people are hunting them because of the dark things they have done. Not really a superhero movie fan but this isn't like that.
8/10
Then started, Catastrophe, a British/American comedy about the guy knocking up the lady while on a biz trip to London. The show was slow but picked up pace and I'm at season 2 episode 3 and it is really funny.

Watched the World News Tonight on ABC in the States and was reported that it will be when not if when it hits the US. Shortage on N95 respirator medical masks, only 30 million for Dept of Homeland Security and medical professionals alone would need 300 million. Did a google search for the mask near Chicago, all sold out. Amazon and Ebay are seeing 300-1500% markup on masks and will only get worse.
People worldwide will be hoarding every staple you use in everyday life till contaiment, there were armed people stealing toliet paper in China. This virus will bring out the worst in human society.

« on: February 17, 2020, 03:04:59 AM »Rory's new longer putter was working well in the first three rounds. If he could hole his putts he would be joint leader, not three off the pace.
Brutal putting today, should have been ahead on 18 by 4+ strokes.
