June Moon: RC Cola and a Moon Pie

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 10h

Today is the only song in our monthlong salute to the moon that doesn’t explicitly refer to the big thing in the sky. No, it’s the southern version. The official meal of the south. Here’s today’s song with a hearty...

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 14 Jun

After all of that wading through history in New Harmony, Indiana and Camp Breckenridge, Kentucky, I started for home. As with last week, there were concerns about severe weather and possible heavy rain (which came to fruition:...

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 14 Jun

Time to hit the wayback machine for some beautiful mooning as I continue the monthlong look at the moon in song. There are some songs you just can’t ignore, and this is one of them. Not old, TIMELESS! Here’s today’s...

We Taught Them Well!

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 13 Jun

Mention Kentucky to people, and there are things that usually come to mind immediately. Hopefully, the great things, like the natural beauty of the state (Mammoth Cave is the longest known cave system in the world), the horses,...

June Moon: Moondance

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 13 Jun

Sorry about the delay. We had some breaking news here in town: a semi caught fire and fell off the interstate onto the road below. Believe it or not, no injuries! Thank God for that! Now, as the rain falls, we move from the folk...

More Mind-Blowing History

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 12 Jun

So, my fellow Americans, did you know that there were over 400,000 German prisoners of war in over 700 POW camps in the United States during World War II? Yeah! I think the Manhattan Project is better known that this...

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 12 Jun

While I have lunch I’ll try to help you understand just how incredible yesterday was for me. I’ll begin by introducing you to Daniel Mayer. The paintings you see in the photos are his. Even in the top left photo, he painted the...

June Moon: Moonshadow

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 12 Jun

First, I have to thank everyone for their concern on my discussion last evening when I said I got a little overheated while out. It’s finally getting, hot, and I have to remember how to act in heat! It’s been awhile. Now, for...

Mind BLOWN!!!

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 11 Jun

Good evening from Murray, Kentucky, home of the College World Series-bound Murray State Racers. Here’s a true “Cinderella story”: a stadium that holds 800 people, and the head coach cuts the field’s grass himself. And yet...

June Moon: The Moon Is High

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 11 Jun

Happy humpday, ya beatniks! And if you’re wondering why I’m stealing @xander6464 ‘s line, a few years ago he petitioned me for countdown by today’s artist. I was only too happy to oblige. The “king of the road” is...

Utopia Tried and Failed. Twice.

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 10 Jun

Howdy, everyone, I’m back out at it again. This time I headed west, although not too far west. I’m spending the night in Evansville after spending the day walking around a small southwestern community that tried for...

That Was Fun!

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 9 Jun

Yes, it was short: only three days and two nights. But wow was it fun!! I know my next trip probably won't be as "pretty" (I'm hoping to go to the Sultana museum and some other places), but it'll hopefully still be...

Earlier in the countdown of songs celebrating the moon I promised Sandra that there’d be a song that would encourage howling. Hey, what do you know, we’ve reached it! Here’s today’s moon song, which comes with...

Silver Bridge: Gallipolis

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 7 Jun

The town's website says the name of the town is pronounced Ga-lap-o-LEES. It's, technically, not the city that was directly across from Point Pleasant, West Virginia by the Silver Bridge. The historical marker says it was...

Silver Bridge: Point Pleasant

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 7 Jun

Yesterday I took a whimsical look at Mothman, the creature that was seen for about 13 months in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966-67. Today it's all about the very real tragedy. As I mentioned, on December 15,...

Four Walls @FourWalls (75728) • United States 7 Jun
