There is no post today as I am going off Cape. When I get home, depending upon the time, I will try to post. If not, I’ll see you, so to speak, tomorrow.

Did you get transported to the Cape say 200 years back and are riding around on a horse (or a Croc) being chased by red coats ?

My Dear Hedley,
Nothing so exciting as a trip back in time-no, wait, it was a bit of a trip. I met my friends Bill and Peg for lunch. We were posted together in Ghana. My sister Sheila came as well so we told some great Ghana stories-back in time for a while.
No red coats!

I hope no one died and you have to go to a funeral. That was my first thought when I saw the first part of the title quote.
Hmm, no 6 o’clock (my time) music, you are on the road…
What would be appropriate KTCC music?
Perhaps “Traffic-Light Lady”:

Second song? Not “Traffic Jam”, it shouldn’t be a bad omen.
Dear coffeeholics, any suggestions for a second song?

Birgit …While Kat’s away, you and I will play . Its Easy Peasy

Hedley, I might have guessed which song is hidden behind the link. I actually had listened to Iggy singing Sinatra’s “One for my baby and one for the road” before, but -you know- it’s KTCC and I wouldn’t dare to post this link

And, no, you don’t have to listen 😉

MDH,
I’m glad you and Birgit had some fun today. You know I have no problem with anything you post, even one I’d never post mostly because I don’y know it.
I know the name but this is the first iggy I have ever heard.

Birgit,
I met my friends for lunch; the three of us were in the Peace Corps together. We met half-way as they live in New Hampshire. It was a lot of fun until the trip home.
It usually takes me about an hour and a half at most to drive home, but not today. NO, NOT TODAY. The traffic was so bad it took me three and a half hours. I was crazed. I do not blame you as you avoided Traffic Jam.
I haven’t ever heard this song or heard of the singers. I see where out was released while I was in Ghana. I like it-thanks!

How about Cross Town Traffic by Jimi Hendrix?
August 7, 2014 at 2:46 pm
Annie – Genius suggestion, James Marshall showing up on KTCC, I thought Jimi meets Lulu is the greatest of all time, hope you don’t mind its not cross town traffic
August 7, 2014 at 3:59 pm
Annie, Jimi’s Crosstown Traffic is the perfect choice!
Btw, Erika Stucky made a great cover of this song and other Hendrix songs, but I can’t find her Crosstown on YouTube. (Either it’s not there or just blocked in my crazy country.)
Jimi and Iggy on KTCC – Kat will be surprised 🙂
August 7, 2014 at 7:03 pm
Thanks, Annie. I hadn’t ever heard of this song. I’m listening to it now on YouTube. It is difficult to believe how long Jimi Hendrix has been gone.
August 7, 2014 at 7:06 pm
MDH, Annie and Birgit,
Yup, it is a surprise. I posted a Jimi on my first blog and it got taken down which is why I haven’t posted him. They don’t mind YouTube, but they do mind free downloads.
August 7, 2014 at 3:55 pm
Hedley, Jimi can sing the phone directory & it would be fine by me!
I love the Lulu clip, it was so edgy & dangerous for it’s time!
August 7, 2014 at 6:46 pm
Annie, I was actually watching the Lulu show, Saturday night on the BBC, when it happened. Hendrix blew up the whole thing, and they were trying to unplug him. I especially liked Lulu’s protests about how much she liked “Hey Joe”
August 7, 2014 at 7:02 pm
OK Birgit and Annie, lets hope that Kat has an easy ride home on say the motorway…or maybe the 2-4-6-8 Motorway….A KTCC first via the hijack, Iggy, Jimi and now TRB

Gnu,
I was out there among all those cars with their brake lights lit for as far as I could see in front of me.
I can’t remember the last time I heard The Moody Blues. This song remind me how much I liked them.

PS Gnu,
Thanks for helping to fill in!
August 7, 2014 at 7:53 pm
Gnu,
I enjoyed your bored song-it gave me a few out loud laughs.
Thanks!

It was the worst ride home in memory. I figured I’d be home by 4:30, but by then I wasn’t even out of Boston. A trip which takes an hour and a half at the most took 3 and a half hours.
This is a great song!

Katlander, Tom Robinson had one sensational album, Power in the Darkness, and then he didn’t.
August 7, 2014 at 7:33 pm
MDH,
I hadn’t ever heard him before this. I will do a hunt for the album. Thanks!
August 7, 2014 at 7:10 pm
MDH,
I just downloaded this song. Thanks!!
August 7, 2014 at 7:12 pm
Birgit, Annie and MDH,
You three did a great job with the perfect theme. I should go off more often!!
