Muddy

I have records by all three, and only saw Lynn live.Nice voices, only Kline comes close to Aretha's control and range, I must say I have heard Ella Fitzgerald on recordings, to me the best female voice period somehow I never got to see her live, a bad choice on my part.

She has been fighting a number of severe illnesses and may have been trying to hide her hair, with a bad old lady hat, She is after all an old lady now. The single best female singer I have had the pleasure to see many times/

What was painful and embarrassing? She recreated a fabled performance she did with Ray Charles when she walked out onto the stage of the Filmore East and sang a whole set with Ray in 1968. That was his arrangement of America the Beautiful. It was very moving.

A few fellas PM'd me for this so here is the story in it's sorry entity: Mar 30th, 2007, 5:39pm Ok here it goes: Muddy and Ron get the keys to the boat. It has a foot controlled trolling motor up front and a consoled steering 40 HP outboard with a trim on it. Ron got a fast explanation from Rick( the d^^K) boat rental guy and to top it off the trolling motor was defective. Me and Ron had never been in a power boat that wasn't tiller steered. We fired up the engine and headed out, so we thought. Ron gets the boat straight and pointed out to the lake, and opens it up all the way and all I can see is the sky. The boat is straight up and we are going relatively fast and we can't see anything in front of us. Ron says "Hey Dominick take the front seat off" I say "What %^ difference is that going to make the boat is still in the way." LBH and Brent come over and they look like their watching a Marx Bros. routine they are laughing so loud. LBH comes in the boat and asked if we were having trouble, which is like asking Don King if he's having a bad hair day! I say " No trouble, just can't see were the &%&T we are going" He asked if we trimmed the engine and of course We didn't have a scissors so how could we trim the engine.So he shows us what to do and tells me and Ron to follow em out on to Fork and the wind is blowing up to 40mph gusts. So like the 2 mooks we are, dressed in only tee shirts and shorts ( I'm trying to figure out why Brent and Russ have Rain Gear on , on a clear day) follow them Of course there doing about 100mph and our top speed is 25mph and all of a sudden a good portion of the lake is coming in on top of me and Ron. Im talking soaked!!!! I kept asking Ron to follow further back b/c I think that's whats causing the problem. Finally they stop and by the time we ccatch up to them we looked like we just got out of the Maytag after the rinse cycle. I'm spitting water outta my mouth and I swear this to be true Water was running out of Ron's ears.Again Russ and Brent are falling outta their drawers with laughter, I thought it was funny myself Now its time to fish so Ron asks me to go up front to work the trolling motor. So I pull the cord and down it goes and now the source of the problem I have no idea how to steer it. So I step on what I think is the gas pedal for it ( It looks just like a &*%%*& Gas Pedal) and mash it completely down and we take off in a continuous right turning circle. I tried to turn the top of the motor by hand I don't have even a clue All i know is I step on the pedal and we keep going in a right handed circle. Well Russ and Brent, who have by now given up on fishing having found 2 mooks in a boat to be more entertaining than the monsters of Lake Fork are coming in on us fast . I'm really getting frustrated because Russ is moving his boat right to us, I see him stepping on his pedal and his boat is going straight and I'm freaking mad. If that motor wasn't attached to the boat i would have been paying for a new on because i would have thrown it in the lake by now. They get up to us and Russ once again jumps into our boat and I'm ticked off because hes just laughing but Brent is literally howling at this point I'm so &^&*&$% Mad at this point I want to tell Russ no matter what i do i step on the gas pedal and it will go fast but only goes to the right What I said next winds up making BassResource.com history Russ asks what the problem is all I could get out was" the harder I press the righter we go!!!!" at which point Russ and Ron and Brent loose it completely and I'm looking for something or someone to throw off the freaking boat!!!!!!Russ then explains about the direction arrow on the top of the motor head and rocking your foot back to go left and forward to go right. SO THATS WHAT THE &%&* PROBLEM was, NO ONE *$%(* EXPLAINED THAT TO ME. They weren't hearing any excuses they were laughing to hard and it took a while for me to calm down and be able to laugh at myself and enjoy the moment. Now I'm stuck with having said it. But let me just put this in it's not like Ron was any big help either he wasn't exactly Popeye the sailor man back there!!!!!!! So we see the hump we are looking for on the depth finder and i put down the trolling motor when we get to the shallow part of it. THE TROLLING MOTOR IS NOW DEAD!!!!!!!!! So Rons fires up the big motor and I forgot to pick up the tolling motor. We are finally starting to dry off and the sun feels good , we ain't really fishing anymore. We stopped watching the depth finder and we were in about 8 INCHES OF WATER. But me and Ron just kept going and we made our own channel. Russ and Brent were somewhere between Panic and Hysterics. If Rick showed up he would have been at the doctors getting his nose put back! After we fished the area we start to head back to Fisherman's Cove , we are at top speed all of 25mph. Then the front seat of one of Ricks finest rentals comes dislodged and flies back hitting me in the chest, Ron stops the boat and once again Brant and Russ to the rescue. I have also discovered that hen the seat plowed into me it buried a set of treble hooks from a Rapala into my leg. This is the kind of sympathy you get in situations like this from BassResource.com members. Ron is calling me a big baby, Brent wants us to re-enact it for Russ to get it on Video, saying it's the sickest thing he's ever seen on the water and Russ is breaking em for me to move the seat so he can get a shot of the Rapala sticking out of my leg. The end of a perfect day The moral of the story WHEN FISHING WITH MOOKS ALWAYS PRESUME THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT POWER BOATS AND SPEND SOME TIME TO SHOW EM HOW THINGS WORK. UNLESS YOU WANT MORE ENTERTAINMENT THAN A NIGHT AT THE BOURBON STREET FOLLIES ADDENDUM; I fogot to add , on the first attempt out me and Ron knew nothing of the bouys marking the boat lanes, and we were out of them, pver timber and no clue. Glenn and Kerri are somewhat frantically waving us back into the lanes and I think they are waving to us, how we mad it over to them without a major catastophe still amazes me until this day!

I like to use a 6'6" med/fast one piece I am partial to Fenwick HMX Cabelas Tournament-IM7

I use a mixture of Anise Oil and i mix it in a spray bottle with Mineral oil. It works for me.

One gallon of Great Pop Corn: That should get you through all of Scorcee's movies in one sitting! Nice machine Eddie!

Okay, Round 4 for the winter? How far can bass see in the water, given the different clarity's? When a Bass comes from the deep or a distance to wack a bait, is it the Lateral Line Sensory Organs that first pick up that bait? Again, taking different clarity's of water, how far up and out of the water can a bass see?

Actually I was eatting a can of cold spagettiOOOHHHHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Fellas; I fell asleep watching the BIZZARO WORLD episode of SEINFIELD. Based on a Superman Comic storyline of Bizzaro world where everything is opposite I dreamed i went on BassResource.com's 5th annual trip to Lake Bizzaro and when I got there I found Roadwarrior : fishing with a Zebco 33, with Renagade line and an Allluring Trick stick Brent: Was the Yammamoto rep for the trip LBH; just had bariatric surgery and was down to 375 lbs Burley: was all Metro Sexual; dressed in bell bottoms and wearing a Notre Dame Hat Flechero; was fishing a Ted Williams approved rod 4Bizzle; was giving a demonstration on Finesse Fishing Micro and Raul: were pushing Heddon lures on everyone SPEEDBEAD;was the homless guy Tin : was fishing with a SPIDERMAN COMBO Paul Roberts : was at a loss for words Redliner was driving his new Subaru Long Mike got in trouble for misspelling his street name on his Lic. Catt and Matt Fly; Both had Aggie Sweatshirts on Riskkid and Alpster did get married ; to each other Bassn Blvd: was a vegetarian and Snapper G and Glenn were actually the same person WOW I'm all in a cold sweat PHEW!!!!!

That is way cool! Thanks 8-)

You also Mook. Just remember there are days I root for the Red Sox, on the days they play the Yankees. I would love of all years to see you beat them out by a half a game ;D

Hey Matt let's see if they get smart to your baby bass, got my first Mattlures ,baby bass in Perch from SLOMOE :-?

I know that, but its like religion to me. If you can let me bust on your choice of equipment and watch you defend it, then I get my turn on the other side of the fence. If I am gonna bust them I gotta be willing to get mine busted Dominick

I am not saying the owners and their puppeteer owner/commish are doing things right Kent. You know I do not post in Football or hockey or really any sports thread other than Baseball and some College hoops I was raised by a Father and 2 uncles who loved the game. They took me to Ebbets field, the Polo Grounds and i was at the first game at Shea. My Uncle was a lifetime box owner. I grew up with this game. I love one nothing pitching duels, more than 15 to 11 games There is more going on per pitch ( infield and out field positioning, depending on what the hitter wants to do and what the pitcher is tossing to him) They took away the mound, they lowered the mound in a time when Kofax,Ford and Bob Gibson where shutitting hitters down The took away the inside pitch. Can you imagine you can get tossed out today for pitching too close without hitting a batter. You want to take the sweet spot from a hitter, it means backing them up frequently, and they took that away They changed the ball to give it more zip, by changing how its wrapped They let steroid filled monsters, with bodies not made for baseball part of the game. Only to see those who love the game go to congress for help, and now we may never See Maguire in the hall and Bonds and Clemens in Orange Uniforms, as well it should be Despite all this the basic game struggles to survive. and now you want to see metal bats, that would be the cherry on the death heap of the game

Aluminum Bats Even the maker of the great Slugger is making freaking aluminum bats now. Increased Batting Averages Make inside pitching practically worthless Change offense Change defense, try and get a good jump in the outfield off a ping Go so far from the tradition of the game it is sickening ASH, good Tennessee ASH is what a bat should be made of.

Paul: I can not say if different Bass have different "personalities" I will be more aware, if I know where a certain bass is hanging out in the lake, THAT IS AN INTERSTING QUESTION 8-)
