Somehow the Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band found me on Facebook, and it’s been a good thing. This Japanese group plays beautiful music while making dance moves, and they’re fun to watch. However, this is not what I remember from my years with the Minor High School Tigers Marching Band. I do remember a “two-step” we did while playing Herb Alpert’s “The Lonely Bull.” Our bass drummer had trouble with these steps, so we joked maybe he could be the bull and remain stationary! Our greatest challenge was...

Roads important and political

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2024/05/29

Many of you took to the roads to travel over Memorial Day. I am sure this resulted in rumblings and discourses about the deplorable conditions of Alabama’s roads. Most of you, if you went anywhere, had to travel on I-65. Most Alabamians live along the I-65 corridor. Interstate 65 is approximately 366 miles from the Tennessee-Alabama line to Mobile. It is a nightmare. I can attest to the frustration of being stuck on this highway. I travel on I-65 from Montgomery to Birmingham at least 100 tim...

There is much you and I can’t do anything about. If you live, you can’t stop aging. The only way to stop aging is to die. We can’t make ourselves younger. The 18-year-old may wish to be a few years older for various reasons. Once you turn 19 you can’t go back to 18. You can look young for a long time but looking young and actually being young are two different things. There are many illnesses you can’t do much about. You can see the finest doctors in the country and obtain the latest medicati...
