Lots of happy times to take a break from the not so happy times.<br /><br />Pixel Peeper, We should have all been born rich instead of smart and good looking. Stan was a rare talent. His brother Garnet still tours.

The animals are fattening up for the coming migration or hibernation. I wish I had a choice to do either of those things. Not the fattening up part.<br /><br />Debra, They make bandanas in blue? Whodda thunk? It's good to have a fashionista on my side. As you know plaid is my favorite color.<br /><br />Bill the Butcher, You know if those little suckers weighed about 20 pounds they might be deadly, but they are amazing little beasts.<br /><br />jenny_o, Stan's brother, Garnet, still tours doing much of the same type of music. The head is healing nicely and the hummers are fattening up for a quick exit in a week or so. They often double their weight before migrating. <br /><br />Sioux, Stan was a giant talent who died much too young, but his legend lives on.<br /><br />Jennifer, The only species of hummer we get is the ruby-throated. The females are a bit larger and, therefore, lower in pitch so you can tell which is which with your eyes closed.<br /><br />baili, I depend on music to either savor my moods or change them. It is very powerful stuff.<br /><br />Dixie, I love Barret's Privateers and Northwest Passage among all his other works, but yes, too soon gone.<br /><br />ABFTS, Like Max Klinger once said, "All I know is torch songs." I'm a sucker for a tear jerker story. 4 Kids? Maybe a set of twins in the litter. True stories are often the best. Check out "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos if you want an amazing story. <br /><br /><br /> Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170214396483091419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-34229543101055298022016-08-29T11:24:25.483-07:002016-08-29T11:24:25.483-07:00I love a good story song, especially like the firs...I love a good story song, especially like the first one (I'm a sucker for that kind of romance). It's a lost art, I think. Nowadays most people have a hard time waiting a few weeks, much less years. If it were written today, it'd be a rap song and the dude would come home to his chick already married to someone else with 4 kids on her hip ("4 kids? How! I was only gone 3 years!").<br /><br />Also, I love Stan Rogers' Mary Ellen Carter, but haven't ever seen that intro.

I wish I had put up feeders for them this year. I'm not sure why I didn't. And now it's too late. What kind of hummers to you see? We only get Red Throats on the East coast.
