Well there you go. Start a new fashion trend and wear that thing!

They actually work, at least in the short-term.  Couple years ago i fractured my back in a hiking accident.  Had to wear one of those clam/turtle shell type back braces (covered my back and abdomen).  Lost about 10 pounds the first week from all the sweating...but it came back after i stopped wearing it.

Those guys are all legend around here in San Antonio. Flaco and his brother Santiago both lived in my service area back in the early 80's and I met them while repairing their cable services...Really nice, down home types.  Doug and Augie rocked this city for a long, long time after their time with the Quintet in numerous groups, together and apart. Good times.

I used to have a Texas Tornados CD somewhere... I seriously must have misplaced a bunch of disks because I haven't heard it in years now that I think of it. But that was a cool outfit. Doug, Augie, Flaco, and Freddy Fender... look for their set on Austin City Limits. I wish I could've seen that party band...

Nice to see a very young Augie Myers on the organ as well. Doug checked out in '99...Gone much too soon.

Happy birthday Doug! 

A friend shared this on FB and it's a little uncomfortable watching Hefner try to be an interviewer but this definitely belongs in this thread...

This made me jones for some more Ken Nordine. Here you go; one of my favorite tracks. One that always comes to mind when we get into election season, the season of political promises:



"Somebody told us what we wanted to be
It was candy for the mind.
Look behind and you will see, it was circusy.
It was hi diddle diddle
It was cat and the fiddle
It was safe as can be
It was right down the middle
It was fantasy, fantasy galore
It was everything we ever wanted
It was that and so much more

Altho the 60s is a near-miss on this list too.

Yeah, I noticed that.  Someone suggested it about the guy in the upper right.

The guy in the bed I would guess.

That page I linked to, it looks like they think someone there is Abe Vigoda.
