Today I learned that I lost one of my best friends, drummer extraordinaire. Alonzo Jr Powell, or as we always called him "Scooter" He was my best friend as we were both drummers . He had a very successful career playing on tour with jazz guitarist Norman Brown and many others. Not only was he an incredible drummer but was one of the kindest most genuine human beings around. Here is a video of him playing with Norman Brown on a tune called "Third World." The video does not show the true talent that he was. We lost a gift tonight and my heart is broken but he will never be forgotten. Alonzo Jr Powell. Rest in Peace my brother. You didn’t ask for sympathy, but you get it, anyway. Losing a friend laves a hole in your heart and in your life. Condolences to everyone who loved Mr Powell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a wonderful guide for Belfast and the Giant Causeway. And we were booked on a Beatles tour in Liverpool with a company which was a pleasure to deal with, but Covid "got in the way...". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Slingy Dig coaster. Before 2016 WDW had the Streets of America section in Hollywood Studios. During Christmas they displayed Christmas lights that danced to music and had "snow" falling from the sky. The lights began when the Osborne family, from Arkansas, agreed to donate their display to Disney. Initially called The Osborne Family Festival of Lights, the display debuted at MGM Studios ( now HS) for the 1995 holiday season. Each year more was added and it grew to over 5 million lights displayed. 2015 was the last year of the display. This area is the land that eventually became Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

I was locked out at 7:00:10 yesterday. Crazy competition. Had to get one while at the park at 12 noon. This is crazy isn’t it. When we are there with family and friends we all get on are phones and go for it. We also learned to only have those in your party at WDW linked at the time. We sometimes have some linked that are not with us so they can enjoy pics taken at WDW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get on google maps and click street view. I started at Spray Beach Yacht Club and went down 23 st to where you can walk out to the beach near Spray Beach hotel. Looks like a great place to visit. It wouldn’t let me view the beach so thanks for posting the pics. Btw, this is my second attempt at posting this. When I hit submit it deleted it. This time I am typing this in "notes" then pasting so if it deletes again I won’t lose it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
