Good News on Camshows

[Donor]

Hey Ms Vicky, I will be there tomorrow, I can see were it may be a cleaning picture. I will looking for your time slot.

[stickyvicky]

It's still not gonna happen, lol... yesterday I called them all day, left voice messages and email messages. Today we were running around to appointments all day... just got in... and the email I received today says I have to make an appointment with them to test my equipment before they let me put a show on the schedule.. so it's harder than I thought, but at least they are careful and meticulous, but slow... so sorry, tomorrow a moving truck arrives with Rokkerr's furniture and the next day another the the piano, so it"s a little hectic around here right now... we'll get it together though in the next few days.. in the meantime, I'm putting up the next lavatory occupied and please do enjoy the other shows on SCC and Camz until I get there!

Hi Vicky,

So I didn't miss anything... That's allright, just take things slow and easy.. Eventually I will see you... someday.

Just make sure Dave's stuff gets to where it needs to go. So his instruments are being sent from Los Angeles to Atlanta? Hopefully they get to Georgia safely. Were his guitars received properly? I think he was talking about that last week.

Other things will work themselves out. Get everything settled. So in time you will have a cam show. Just be patient. Take care and have a nice night.

John

Wow... John, thanks for being patient. We are sitting in boxes and still working on the site. By the way, you did not comment on the lingerie that Vicky wore on the last camshow.......

[stickyvicky]

I put a little clip of me shopping for it in the diary section John, anyone see it?

[WalterB]

Yeah, I saw it. That is one spectacular outfit.

[John_fromNY]

Yes Rokkerr - I saw Vicky wearing the lingerie for the first time today - yes, believe it or not, I actually scrolled down, then I went to the diary section and the resulting video....

Oh my most lovely one!!!! --- Vicky, THANK YOU, THANK YOU you for mentioning me :oops: :oops: :oops: See, I'm really blushing now!!! And embarrassed.... Anyway I am smiling a big grin!!!

Anyway, you are quite welcome!!! I'm glad that you are very happy too!!

[rokkerr]

John..... what only one post on this subject????

[WalterB]

Lol Walt. Rosa's Cantina. Man, that takes me back. Marty Robbins.

Benny - did you know that Rosa's Cantina is not only a real place here in EP, but that and the West Texas 'flavor' was the motivation for the song?

Story is apparently Marty Robbins and his crew were westbound in their bus. They went thru El Paso, saw Rosa's and decided to stop for lunch. Then, once they set out west bound again, he wrote the song while moving onward thru New Mexico. Here's some pictures.

Thanks Walt for that little trivia. I didn't know the story of the inspiration for that song. I have had that song in my computer for a long time but haven't figured out what other songs to add to it to burn on a disc.
Did you take those pics?

[Donor]

Great show tonight beautiful, it was super to see you.

[WalterB]

Did you take those pics?

Yes, I did, Benny. Rosa's is over on Doniphan Dr on the Lower West side. I think Doniphan used to be the main highway to Las Cruces before freeways, but can't swear to it. FYI, Ever heard of John Wesley Hardin? Famed Gunman, supposedly killed 30 men (one for snoring.) He's buried here in Concordia Cemetery. Shot in a bar in downtown EP in 1895.

[Benny25]

Thanks so much Walt. They never taught me stuff like that in History class.

Didn't Bob Dylan write and sing a song about John Weslet Hardin?

[WalterB]

Yeah. In '67 he released an album, "John Wesley Harding" (with a G,) including a song of the same name. The song lyrics really didn't have anything to do with JWH, except in a very generic way. I guess the album was quite popular at the time, despite it's country leaning. I've never heard it, so can't really comment on it's musical content. John?

Part I

I got this out of a Time Life book entitled The Gunfighters, part of the Old West Series:

Yes, it's true about John Wesley Hardin - In March of 1871, he shot the man in the next room of the American House Hotel in Abiliene, Kansas because he was snoring too loudly. The first bullet fired from the Colt .45 into the hotel wall merely woke the man up, the second bullet fired killed him. Marshall "Wild" Bill Hickok and four other deputies were running toward the hotel. John Wesley, dressed only in his undershirt, escaped through the open window onto the roof of the hotel portico - just as Wild Bill and his deputies were being alerted to the shooting by hotel guests. "I believed," Hardin later said, "that if Wild Bill found me in a defenseless condition, he would take no explanation, but would kill me to add to his reputation."

Not waiting to determine Hickok's diposition in the matter, Hardin leaped from the roof into the street and hid in a hayloft for the rest of the night. In the morning he stole a horse and made his way back to the cow camp outside of town. The next day he left for Texas never to return to Abiliene. Years later, Hardin made a casual reference to the episode, "They tells lots of lies about me", he complained. "They say I killed six or seven men for snoring. Well, it ain't true, I only killed one man for snoring."

Part II

Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding the name of his 1968 album, and its title song has these lyrics:

(Can you make a distinction between fact and fiction):

John Wesley Harding
Was a friend to the poor
He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand
All along this countryside
He opened a many a door
But he was never known
To hurt a honest man.

It was down in Chaynee County
A time they talk about
With his lady by his side
He took a stand
And soon the situation there
Was all but straightened out
For he was always known
To lend a helping hand.

All across the telegraph
His name it did resound
But no charge held against him
Could they prove
And there was no man around
Who could track or chain him down
He was never known
To make a foolish move.

...So the only common things here were John's preferred use of Colt .45s, Chaynee County, Kansas (where Abiliene is) and Dylan's use of romanticism with John Wesley Hardin and his love for dancing hall and saloon prostitutes as frequented by him and "Wild" Bill Hickok....

But in September of 1871, John Wesley Hardin did marry Jane Bowen, his longtime sweetheart. Although both families were well known in Gonzales County, TX, it was a strange marriage, as John would be away for long extented absenses. Despite that, Jane stayed loyal to him, and John to her. There is one story, where John Wesley rode one of his favorite mounts over a hundred miles, over 6 hours overnight to death, so that he could be with Jane to make love to her the rest of the night into the next morning and into the following afternoon...

Hi Vicky - yes the email announcement that I received about tonight's cam show also had a few missing pictures in it - for example, those red x's in white boxes too - one was Lavatory # 6 - the other I forgot...
