Speaking of smooches :
' Linda was photographed with de Portago at the 1957 Mille Miglia car race. The photo shows Christian leaning in to kiss Fon before he drove off and crashed his Ferrari, killing himself, his navigator Ed Nelson, and nine spectators in the process. The press labeled the photo "The Kiss of Death" '...

Thanks for the Elmore James. Come to think of it, Rex, I'm suprised that you havent played more Elmore James and more Chicago blues in general.

(another) Patrick in Hoboken:

Actually “Nell’s” is “I&S Wine & Spirits”. The name Cornell appears on the store front. Not sure if that is the landlord, management company or something else?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm

@Gus - I'm guessing but I think the non-steel drum part is from a short-lived late 60s sitcom with Joe E. Ross and Imogene Coca called "It's About Time" about prehistoric cave dwellers who somehow make it to the 20th century. For some reason I can still remember the theme song.
