Bertha ... doncha come around here anymore...

Not even Bertha related ... but we've had 6" of rain overnight... there WILL be flooding, etc.

Be safe!

Send her up this way....the weatherman said since July 1, our area has only had a 'trace' amount of rainfall.

My lawn is brown and crunchy.

[KFC911]

I'll send a show from '71 ... and some green grass if that would help ...

In a box with airholes ...

Handle with care

We are actually still in the middle of severe draught and tremendous flooding these past few weeks ... I've dodged most of it.

Oops! I thought Bertha was a storm name....knowing how they give names to almost every one.

Keep the box...

Bertha is a tropical storm. It is also my Mom's name and she has always hated it. Lol.

But she's gone...RIP

Thanks Bob!

I'll say again Mihirangi's vocals mid way just elevate that entire production to another level.

I am usually very critical of Dead covers but Los Lobos did good with Bertha.

The Deadicated album has a few other great covers, recommend checking it out on u tuub

[Por_sha911]

They did Truckin well.
I was pleasantly surprised with what they did with Uncle Johns Band.
Friend of the Devil was different. Not my style but they carried it.
Wharf Rat was strange.
They screwed up US Blues - desecrated instead of dedicated - too bad, USB is one of my favs

Sorry but I had to cleanse the ears:


Or get immersed in the experience like I did at the Uniondale Mini Cimema midnight showing:

Suzanne Vega's cover of China Doll is the one I hear in my head.

Bertha Butt & hers sisterz.... post it ... 70's funk

We had a slightly large English Bulldog names Bertha, Bertha butt after that silly song. Bertha was a great great (word not allowed on Pelican but the name dog breeders call their female breeding dogs) and had a lot of good puppies. I was raised with many litters of bulldog puppies.

My mother in law was named Bertha. My one of my grandmothers was Gertrude and the other grandmother was Florence. Names that are not common anymore.

I'd rather have the tropical storm....she is looking to maim someone.

I remember the bad old days of Disco, and that song helped start the dance craze of doing the bump. Lots of people on the dance floor bumping their butts against each other. To be clear it was guys bumping buns with ladies, and vice a versa.

Many years after my dad retired from the Air Force, and the dog breeding was over, my mom searched on Ebay when Ebay was new, and found a 45 RPM record of that song, just to hear it again.
