"As BBB wrote, HC is only interested in the numbers and the bottom line. Hate to sound dumb, but what are "Pawn Stars and "American Pickers?" Maybe HC ran American Revolution because viewership is off and people are tired of the PC…"

"Mr. Meadows, Not silly! Cool dog! But shouldn't he be wearing the hat? To everyone else, thanks for sharing the interesting info."

"Mr. Meadows, You caught me again--you know I forgot about the nylon do-rags. The "scarves" that are used in boot scootin and Cajun dancing are regular bandanas. Lots of Cajun dancing takes place at fesitvals which are outside. The dance…"

"Sorry, that's ... pay his mortgage. And on and on it goes. Something has to be done. Have you noticed we are getting a lot of our produce from Mexico and S.A. now, so who is doing that work? And if factories have moved to those countries, who…"

"The key word is "illegal" ... no one I know is against immigration if that immigration is done properly. My ancestors came through Ellis Island, legally and waited their turn. If any one of them so much as coughed, they were…"

"Re Alf's comments ... Yeah, you're right. Wish there was something decent on the tube to watch nowadays. Thank goodness for the old John Wayne movies!"

"Not to leave our western theme, but those "dew rags" as they are called in the Deep South are also used for boot-scoot'in and for cajun dancing. So those multi-purpose "wild rags" have come a long way, baby ..."

"Very nicely stated! And your message can be applied to other areas of life as well, not just to becoming an artist. Thanks for the insight."

"God bless you, Art. Very sweet--thanks."

"Very interesting. Thanks for posting."

"Thanks so much for the wonderful old photos--great post. My father never left the house without a hat, not even to walk the dog. There's nothing like a man in a hat. (Or a lady in a hat for that matter!) Back in the 80s I wore hats and I…"
