Ba ba ba...ba Barbara Ann!!!!

7 years ago

Well, we need a little summer inspiration up here now! Fun subject, so figured I'd start a new post.

DW & I have good seats for Friday night's "Surf & Soul" Tour. The Beach-Boys & Temptations are in town..... tomorrow night at Fargo's Scheels Arena.

Have always LOVED these groups! Not gonna lie....kinda wish I was Tom Cruise in "Cocktail"!!!! ;-) Have always liked that video with Stamos in it too. SO FUN!!!!

Whenever "Ball of Confusion" is on (not much anymore, depending on radio), I'm cranking it & getting my groove on. "And the band played on...."

And, YES....I'm watching all kinds of y/t vids of these guys!!!!!! Anyone here got some good "Surf & Soul" stories/fave songs?!??!

You got me rockin'-ana-rollin'-rockin'-ana-reelin' ..........

Faron!

I grew up in SoCal in the 60's so the Beach Boys hold a special place for me. Favorite song....Don't Worry Baby. The BB's and the Temptations...what a show! Favorite Temptations song if Get Ready. Enjoy yourself to tonight and do report back.

The Beach Boys need to switch to Snowboarding if they're coming to Fargo this week! I saw them at an outdoor New Years party in Texas about 35 years ago, so fun!

And be careful, no doing the Swim or the Mashed Potato. Unless it's prescribed as PT.

Hello to madmagic. You and annp make sense (interpret thaT any way you like). annp I did a google tour, I had no idea how rich in islands your coast is, endless bounty for kayamping. Hope you see harlequins. Here's a photo from a favourite nearby skyline: the pyramid is called Sugar Loaf mountain, our Chomo Lungma. oh that wasn't it - that was a hijack of the hijack - here - That wasn't it either - that was a picture for madmagic, who surely knows what and where the statue is. Here is Sugar Loaf. The owner of the red boat is named Patrick. Unique among the fishermen in this area he has an all girl crew, scruffy tomboys every one.

Is this Hosta Barbara Ann?
Q

I don't think it is Sweet Innocence either. Neither the pictures in the Hosta Library nor my personal garden photos have the corrugation shown on your plant. Here is mine. '' IS it fragrant? Sweet Innocence is fragrant. While it may not be SI, it could be another fragrant, but honestly I don't recognize a specific one it might be. Knowing the blooming period and the flower color would aid the ID your hosta.

'Barbara Ann' - to avoid the "drawstring" effect

I too bought Barbara Ann and as you I love a challenge. It was $6.99 in 2013 with two shoots and figured I have wasted more money on other things that were not as pretty. I have never had edge problems and have it located to the east and by the edge of flowerbed so maybe it does get less water but not into special care si it is what it is and if it lives that is even better . Looks like the same size as your's is Jo or maybe just a little bigger but not by much. The color holds up well all summer. Very pretty hosta

OT: Santa Rosa/Sonoma Area Fires --
Q
Comments (86)
It has been very very hazy here for the past week, and they say that it is actually smoke from the Southern CA fires! We are 400 miles away. It is supposed to be dry and windy here for the next few days, and we have not had any rain for 3-4 weeks. Much of the entire area around SF Bay is under a "fire watch". Berkeley (which last burned in the 1920s - my grandmother used to tell me about it) has asked everyone who lives in the wooded hills (just like the Oakland hills which burned a few years ago - steep, narrow windy roads) to park their cars in garages of otherwise off the streets, so that fire equipment can use the streets if necessary. They are serious - it is scary. Jackie

I have always loved the Beach Boys. They were in concert here a couple of years ago and John Stamos played some sets with them! We had 3rd row seats! Awesome! As to favorite songs, I've always liked 'In My Room'. And of course 'Surfin' USA' and 'God Only Knows'. Takes me back to some good times, every time! Have fun and do what bpathome said.

The Beach Boys was one of the first groups I saw live. 1967, St.Petersburg Florida. As teens it was a huge deal to cross the bridge from Tampa to St. Pete. Somehow we crammed a bunch of us in a VW Beetle and lived to tell.

Lucky you, great show! Beach Boys was my first concert back in the late 70s, have seen them a couple times since. Nothing says summer in So Cal more than driving PCH listening to The Beach Boys!

Sounds like a fun concert! The Beach Boys was my very first concert in 1984. They were a favorite of my dad's so I knew all the music, even though I was a little young for their demographic.
