HossC Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I've found myself watching the annual Eurovision Song Contest again. They've just had the entry from the Netherlands (Roth's home country), and it was a country singer with the stage name "Waylon". It's certainly different from the other songs, and I quite liked it. Here's his performance from the semi-final two nights ago: Quote
Roth Potter Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I didn't watch it as I was watching the Indycar. I think I actually last watched Eurovision in 2003 or so. But anyway. Yes, Waylon has his stage name inspired by his idol Waylon Jennings. He actually worked in the show of Waylon Jennings in Nashville for a few years until his dead apparently. That's what Wikipedia tells me at least. Quote
HossC Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I remember earlier winners, but I think the first show I remember watching is around 1980. The 1980 contest was won by Johnny Logan of Ireland with "What's Another Year", followed by the UK's Bucks Fizz with "Making Your Mind Up" in 1981 and Germany's Nicole with "Ein bißchen Frieden" in 1982 (Nicole sang her victory performance in German, English, French and Dutch). I always used to say I wouldn't bother watching Eurovision, but now I normally seem to have it on if I'm home. In case you missed the results, Roth, the Netherlands got 121 points, easily out-scoring the UK's 48, although Ireland got 136. All were dwarfed by Israel's winning score of 529! Skipper Duke 1 Quote

Hobie Hartkins Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Hey, I thought of a good stage name, if I ever think of doing music....Waylon Howell ( wail and howl...get it...??) Skipper Duke 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 I'd be named Waylon Ocean. (whale in ocean) Hobie Hartkins and Skipper Duke 2 Quote

HossC Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 I had this song in my head for most of Wednesday afternoon because one of the ladies at work sang it as she distributed the bottles of whiskey and brandy around the office! RogerDuke and Hobie Hartkins 2 Quote

Hobie Hartkins Posted Saturday at 02:27 AM Posted Saturday at 02:27 AM Ben Wilhoite was his best friend and I knew this because I used to go to church with Ben. Tom died sometimes in the .....90's?....hang on and I'll check......no! He died in Aug. 20 2021,,,,I got him confused with when BEN died! He lived on South Berry's Chapel Road across from one of our elders from Berry's Chapel Church of Christ! Quote

Faster Horses (The Cowboy and the Poet) I've never heard of Tom, but I enjoyed that. Thanks. The title reminded me that friends have recommended that I watch the British spy thriller series Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas amongst others, but I don't have Apple TV, so far I haven't seen it. 6 hours ago, Hobie Hartkins said: AND his wife's name was....get this.....Dixie!! I see her full name was Iris Dixie Dean. Over here, "Dixie" Dean was probably the most famous football (soccer) player of the 1920s. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
