The Worst Person I Know

That's how the song went; "The worst person I know, she bothers me so, sent from down below, Mother-In-law..." by Louisiana Hall Of Fame and New Orleans Music Hall Of Fame inductee Ernie K. Doe. That song hit #1 on the charts on today's date in 1961 in America. Of all the thousands of songs I played at Paragon Casino in Marksville, LA, over the years, that one was the most requested. Ernie K. Doe passed on in July, 2001, but "The Emperor" will never be forgotten, we have his music. The photo of K. Doe is from a 1963 dance competition in the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans, Doe was battling James Brown in the competition! On another note, I am BEAT! I mowed two yards yesterday (my own, 'cause it needed it, and another for Ron Lindhorst, 'cause he mowed mine while I was out of town), I guess I'm not as young as I used to be, it wore me out, but look how nice and green my back yard is now! Small things satisfy me.
