SO - I *may* have found someone to buy my Harley. He's coming over to take a look at her sometime in the next hour or so...
It'll be sad to see her go. But it's time to move on.
Lucille (the bike) and I have been through a lot together. A divorce, new jobs, near-death experiences, new relationships, et al.
Upgrades baby - upgrades...
Am I *really* old enough to ride THIS:
wow.
me.
on a 'geezer glide.'

Passing of a Legend...
re-post
Bob Kames, Milwaukee's own music man, died of prostate cancer today, according to his family.
Kames popularized an old-world tune called "Dance Little Bird" - better known as "The Chicken Dance." He long operated the Bob Kames Wonderful World of Music stores here in Milwaukee. He recorded more than 70 albums in his long career. Other professional work included a stint with the Lawrence Welk Orchestra.
His legal name remained Robert Kujawa, but he was known as Bob Kames, his professional name.
Another one of Kames' songs also made the big-time, said his son, Bob Kames, Jr. In 1949, Kames composed a pop tune in honor of his future wife, calling it, "You Are My One True Love." The tune was based on a Polish folk song. After being turned down by major labels, he recorded it himself, paying for the first 5,000 records himself.
It was picked up by London Records in England, becoming a huge hit.
"He wrote that for her," Bob Jr. said of his late mother, Edith Kames. "It was a million-seller. Lawrence Welk recorded it and Frankie Yankovic, and John and Sandra Steel, and others."
