Happy Mother's Day 2008

This makes Mother's Day number seven in plezWorld and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a suitable gift for plezWife. Thankfully, the SugarPlum, the reason for the season, has become an invaluable resource in helping me ferret out the perfect gift for her mom. Last year was a cute Gucci purse... this year, she hipped me to the latest wishlist item: a Blackberry!

Since plezWife is the ROCK upon which the SugarPlum and I stand, it is only fitting that we honor her on an annual basis with something that is truly fitting our Queen. This year's marvel is one of those cold-blooded Blackberry Curves that you see on television... it is red, sleek, has all the latest bells & whistles (except a video camera), and it was just what she wanted!

Happy Mother's Day to all the MOTHERS out there in plezWorld, and especially to plezWife!

Happy Mother's Day

Bo Carter - Corrine, Corrina - recorded 1928


Corrine Corrina was first recorded in 1928 by Armenter ‘Bo’ Chatmon (a.k.a. Bo Carter, the name under which the record was released). This song has a very interesting history as it was later recorded as one of the first rock and roll songs by Big Joe Turner (Atlantic Records), and then rewritten by Bob Dylan. It has been recorded as a blues, country, hillbilly, race, rock and roll, folk, and R&B song, with over 100 covers.

I use this song because Corrine and Corrina are the names of my beautiful wife and daughter! And because of both of them, we celebrate Mother's Day.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
