I contacted the Ogden Police Dept. who got me in touch with the person who could discuss the autopsy report on the cause of death of our great friend, snoopydawg, a/k/a, Tracy Baker.
She died from a heart attack. Date of death was likely the 21st or 22nd of June. Her last comment here was the 20th of June.
Sam has been placed, so she will be fine.

Open Thread - 02 Oct 2025 - Seeger in Barcelona!

Seeger in Barcelona!

I recently came across this story/legend/truth/I dunno about Pete Seeger. Seeger was, apparently, invited to perform in Barcelona, Spain in 1971. Spain was still under fascist rule by Francisco Franco. Seeger was told not to play any songs on a list that the fascist government devised. Most of the tunes were Seeger's most famous ones. So Seeger went on stage and just strummed his banjo, and, the whole 100,000 people audience sang all the songs! Smile
