Garrett Duke

Oh good! That means you can come over and clean mine when you get done there!

I might have heard his songs and of Waylon before I got into the Dukes in '97 (Don't ask me how I remember that...lol) but never paid much attention to him until I got into the show. Now I own several albums of him (mainly they are all hit collections) and really enjoy his music. I enjoyed listening to him on the show, he always had interesing, funny things to say. It is too bad they hadn't paid the extra money to show his face along with his hands in the opening song. I think some of my favorite sayings too are him introducing Hazzard and at the beginning of the show, the Duke family. He helped you know the characters from the get go. I must confess while I am here at it, that I do listen to the newer stuff and own a lot of albums from new artists. But as I said, it is a lot different than what it use to be which is sad because it was good back then too. They should have two different categories or be more willing to play the older stuff with the new. There are a few artists out there that are pure country that are still singing...like Alan Jackson, George Strait...Joe Nichols is pretty Country I think. But there isn't much out there any more.

I haven't seen that episode in a long time...though it has really been too long since I really sat down and watched a DOH episode due to the lack of time. But I liked Jude and the whole episode. To me it seemed unique and different compared to the rest of the episodes which was neat to see.

Lucky for you Lori! I always enjoyed those when I was in school...that is until the end of the year when it came to make them up! LOL. I'm sure school kids are lovin' it right now... Well, Dixie_Nachelle01, I am glad that you finally got the snow I sent out for you and that you are enjoying it. At least someone is . Though you are right, it is hard to keep up with when it keeps snowing continuously and all. General Grant, you weren't complaining either...I hope that you are right about them seeds being a signal of spring and warmer weather about to come. I keep thinking the same as you, this could be the last, it could be...but then it don't turn out to be the last. Though as you said very nicely, it just might and sooner or later, it will be the last and warmer weather is bound to follow...hopefully. LOL. The snow is pretty, I'll give it that much credit. But it is the freezing cold, ice, and wind that I can't stand. BRRRRRRRRR. LOL. Sounds like another cold one tomorrow with winds, sleet, snow and the whole works! YAY, YAY! Y'all hear my sarcasm? LOL! Though at least they are only predicting an inch of snow this time, what I fear is the ice and driving in it. Y'all keep warm!

Yeah they did mention me by name...I was surprised that they took me up on my idea and even more so that they publicly thanked me, by name, for pointing out the fact of it marking six years since Waylon's death. I got to hear two Waylon's songs today...first this morning on my way to work with that program and then I came home for my break and the DJ played "Luchenback Texas" which is my favorite Waylon song! (I leave the radio on for my dog while I am away) It couldn't have came at a better time. I had a rough or hectic day today where things just didn't seem to go my way, hearing Waylon just seems to make things to be OK. I agree with you about the new songs and artists, but I can't complain much since I do listen to the radio all the time and like some of those artists. But I agree, they are definately a lot different than what it once was. Probably what they had considered Rock back then, could be classified as Country today. Which is sad. My mom often says that they should make Country Music into two settings, one alternative and one plain Country or something. When Alan Jackson (I am pretty sure it was him) came into the picture and was wanting to become a Country singer, they turned him away, telling him he was too Country! I don't understand how they could say something like that or turn someone down for that reason when that is the genre of music he was applying for. (Then again, I can't see how anyone could turn Alan Jackson and his music away!) LOL...sorry for all my rambling. Thank-you Roger for your comments...Waylon Jennings is my favorite singer that sang before the 1990's or so. But I must say that all in all, he is one of my all time favorites. You can't go wrong with ol' Waylon.

My radio station that I listen to the most, has this thing they do at five forty in the morning (somewhere around that time) where they play one old song. They usaully do a theme or something to play throughout the week and begin a new one the next week. They also take submissions and ideas... So I sent in last week that they should play a week of Waylon, this week, since Wednesday will mark six years since his death...and starting today they are doing it! Was excited to hear that they are taking my idea...of course, my luck and all, I only caught onto the last part of the song due to the radio in my car being on the wrong channel. They even thanked me on the radio for the idea and pointing the fact out to them of it being the anniversary of his death. So for this week, I'll be able to hear a song of ol' Waylon on my way to work. I always consider it a good morning when they chose a song of his to play at that time. Nothing too big, but had to share it with someone.

I am getting so sick and tired of winter and all this snow! I am beginning to wonder if it will ever stop! Not only has it been freezing cold the past two days, it has now been snowing all afternoon! Plus they say more tonight and then moreso tomorrow! For now, it has slowed down a bit for now at least...it just never stops! I keep thinking that sooner or later, it has to get better, warmer...something. Yet nothing, just more snow and more cold weather! Where's spring and warm weather when you need it the most? LOL. Sorry for all my rambling and complaining here - I know it is winter and know to expect snow and cold weather during this time of year. But this much?! I don't think we've had a winter this cold or with this much snow in years...all I can say is, BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! LOL I'll shut-up now...

Thought the chat started at seven o'clock central time? Guess I'm too late...I guess that's what I get when I wait til the last minute to log in.

Anywhere around zero is too cold for me, especially when you have wind to top it all off. And around about now, I'd enjoy having it in the seventies or so. Nice and warm, can take the dog for a walk and so on without worrying about the snow and cold. Then again, I don't want it to be too hot either, something in between.

Understand the problem with the wind too...we get that here as well. I hate that most of all...the cold and snow isn't so bad, it is when you add the wind that makes it the worse. Boy am I ready for spring...hee. Though I also know what you mean, by July or so, I'll be wishin' it was a little colder outside...but not wishing snow. The last time I wanted snow it was back when I was a kid and actually went outside to play in the snow. Now all I do is take my dog outside to do her thing and then run back in!

I know what you mean, General Grant, about the weather fluxuating like that. We went through that cycle or one like it a week or two ago, it was like fifty on Monday and the next day it was below zero and like negative forty-eight with windsheild. BRRRR is right...hopefully you're right about spring being around the corner. I am looking forward to seeing some green instead of white. The snow is pretty, but cold!

Thanks for showing us the picture, Daney. That is a colorful cake!

Well...here in Iowa, we got eight inches of snow this past weekend and it snowed continuously from Tuesday early afternoon to around three Wednesday afternoon to get a foot or more of snow! To top that all off, they are predicting more snow tonight and then again Saturday! When does it stop?! LOL. The only good thing out of this snow storm, is that, I got Wednesday off since they closed work due to the snow! My dog is the same way, she is a corgi-bichon mix and isn't very tall, she has to bounce through the snow to get through it! It's funny to watch...she likes the snow, so at least someone is enjoying it! Dixie_Nachelle01 - if I could, I'd bottle it all up and mail you all the snow we have. I'm tired of it and has been for a while now - it seems that we are averaging a snow storm once a week if not more! Though I'm not sure on that part. Where's spring? Is it here yet? LOL. I am about ready to pack up all my things and head to Hazzard to just get away from all this snow!

I'm glad that you finally found one then. It is neat to see a variety of characters from the show, especially ones that aren't used that much.

That's neat that you got Tom's autograph and that book sounds interesting and has good recipes in it! This should be an interesting thread - too bad I don't have much cooking skill or recipes.

Glad to see you here. I like your picture that you have by your signature - I don't remember seeing any or much of J.D. Hogg pictures out there.

Next Wednesday (Feb. 13) will mark six years since he had died. Rest in peace, Waylon.

Thanks for the information, Chet! I bet you were surprised to find it in a local newspaper, but am glad you found the article. Cale was a very good and talented race car driver and has some awesome statistics to prove it! It was great seeing him on the Dukes - it kinda linked them to NASCAR - which is the reason I am a big NASCAR fan today. The good ol' General Lee!

Thank-you for the information, Daney.

Dang it! A month too late! Just my luck *shakes head in disgust* I have never seen that movie and always wanted to...it'd be great to see Tom and John in a movie outside of the Dukes. Though it is good to see them together in the Dukes as well. Just wish I coulda seen it while it was on TV. Oh well, maybe next time.

Forty-two more days!

I have never seen the show, but of the previews of the show that I've seen, I don't think I want to see it. I hate to say this, but I am really disappointed that John would do a show like Nip/Tuck, especially if he portrays such a charactor. I am surprised that he would agree to do such a show, afterall, his shows are normally family orienated and he seemed to pride himself as doing family shows. This definately is not a family show...in today's world, my opinion, there needs to be more family shows on TV that everyone can watch. Once again, there is my two cents worth.

Dixie, that sounds like a very interesting and good story idea...a good combination of a cross over.

"Vidalia" By Sammy Kershaw - it is name of a town or onions or something like that, but he sings it as a girl's name. "Mustang Sally" I don't know who sings it. It seems like there is another song title with Sally in it, but I could be imagining it. "Jacky Don Tucker" By Toby Keith
