You are free to comment, join in, or just enjoy the ride. Last weekend, I had enjoyed a number of clips by Jewel.... She seems to be a very down to earth gurl, with a wonderful voice. She did a live concert in Rialto Square back in 2006 that is currently available on DVD and has some wonderful things in it.... I'm Sensitive...Be careful with me, 'cuz I'm sensitive, and I like to stay that way. Get Ready, Boy...I think this is a great love song... Race Car Driver.. LOL... Anything Goes.. Yes, she can be a little more serious and do a classic now and then too. So enjoy...I will post from time to time whatever tickles the cockles of my little heart.

This has a bit of background...... My GF, Lori...has a bit of a thing for fleur de'lis in her architectural designing..... One day, we were talking about some songs she remembered.......as they were being played upon an automatic piano in her livingroom.........were the 'fleur de'lis' song. I asked her what the song was......and she said she remembered it from her childhood as the 'fleur de'lis' song........OK. A month or two later, I heard it........probably on youtube.......and realized that her recollection was of Fur Elise.....by Beethoven...... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

According to the Wikipedia........ Two 1968 390 CID V8 Ford Mustangs (325 bhp) were used for the chase scene, both owned by Ford Motor Company and part of a promotional loan agreement with Warner Bros. The Mustangs' engines, brakes and suspensions were heavily modified for the chase by veteran car racer Max Balchowsky. Ford Motor Company had also originally loaned two Galaxie sedans that were intended to be used in the chase scenes, but the producers found the cars entirely too heavy to put through jumps over the hills of San Francisco without the suspensions of the cars being severely damaged.

I took it to high school auto tech class, and the teacher told us not to do that with motors........LOL.......not exactly stock....I seem to remember the teacher saying under his breath..WTF?....I was only 18 ....although I did not know what that meant at the time......LOL.....but I understood what WTF meant when I stepped on it......and grabbin that Hurst was like taking control of the world............ It turned out that it was a 350 small block bored until there was almost no cylinder walls left.......the teach measured it and calculated it to be about 425 cid....in a small block.....no wonder it was so snarky......
