Pretty wild story
November 10, 1973 was a sad, sad day for all who loved Stringbean and his beloved wife of 28 years, Estell. Stringbean, aka String Bean, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, actor and even a semiprofessional baseball player. He was a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and also a member of the television show "Hee Haw." He was well known for his old style banjo picking, comedy, and his stage wardrobe. He wore a long nightshirt tucked into a short pair of blue jeans belted around his knees. He was born David Akeman June 17, 1915 - in Annville, Kentucky. He came from a musical family and was taught to play the banjo by his father, James. At age 12 he got his first banjo, of which he traded a pair of prize chickens for. As a teen and young man he began playing at local dances but, it was not enough money to live on. He joined the Depression -era Civilian Conservation Corps and worked hard building roads and planting trees. He entered a talent contest judged by Asa Martin. He won and was invited to join Martin's band. In one of Akeman's early appearances Martin forgot his name and introduced him as String Bean. Akeman liked the nickname and used it for the rest of his career. He entertained on radio and played with several groups in the late 1930s. In 1945 he married Estell Stanfill. In 1946 he began working with Grandpa Jones. They performed together at the Grand Ole Opry (and many years later on Hee Haw) and became neighbors in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. And more than that, they became best friends. Stringbean was one of the Opry's major stars in the 1950s. He was signed by the Starday label in the early 1960s, and recorded as a solo artist. Between 1962 and 1971 he recorded 7 albums. He is listed as one of the greatest old-time style banjo pickers. He was a modest and gentle man who lived simply. When not working he enjoyed fishing and hunting. Accustomed to the hard times of the Great Depression, he and his wife Estell lived frugally in a small cabin

“Still Playin’ Possum” – A Star-Studded Tribute To The Music Of George Jones hits Theaters Nationwide
Tumblr media
Feeling a little bit country, No Show Productions announces the “Still Playin’ Possum: Music & Memories of George Jones” tribute concert event will premiere in a one-day-only theater presentation in association with Fathom Events. With performances filmed on April 25, 2023, in Huntsville, Alabama, to a sold-out show at the Von Braun Center, some of country music’s biggest stars pay homage to the man known ‘as the greatest country singer of all time’ – George Jones! Tickets are on sale through the Fathom Events website and participating theater box offices. For a complete list of theater locations, visit fathomevents.com (participating theaters are subject to change). Now, 10 years after his passing in 2013, music lovers can witness the power of song as artists ranging from Jelly Roll (“Bartender’s Blues”), Brad Paisley (“He Stopped Loving Her Today”), Tanya Tucker (The Grand Tour), Dierks Bentley (Why Baby Why), Sam Moore (Blues Man), Travis Tritt (“The Race Is On”), Jamey Johnson (“Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes”), and so many more bring their interpretation of Jones’ hits to life on the big screen. George Jones also referred to by many as “The Possum” sold over 20 million albums, was a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, a member of the Grand Ole Opry, was a Kennedy Center Honoree, National Medal of the Arts recipient, Grammy Lifetime Achievement award recipient, topped the Billboard singles chart 14 times and achieved 143 Top 40 hits during his illustrious career. “It is still hard to believe that George is gone.  He was loved by so many artists and fans.  We may not have him here in person, but we have his music to keep his memory alive,” says Nancy Jones.  “Filming this night was something special.  The love for George was overwhelming!” About George Jones: George Jones is regarded among the most important and influential singers in American popular music history. He was the singer of enduring country music hits including “She Thinks I Still Care,” “The Grand Tour,” “Walk Through This World With Me,” “Tender Years” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” the latter of which is often at the top of industry lists of the greatest country music singles of all time. Born in Saratoga, Texas, Jones played on the streets of Beaumont for tips as a teenager. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps before returning to Texas and recording for the Starday label in Houston, Texas. In 1955, his “Why Baby Why” became his first Top 10 country single, peaking at number four and beginning a remarkable commercial string: Jones would ultimately record more than 160 charting singles, more than any other artist in any format in the history of popular music. His first number-one hit came in 1959 with “White Lightning,” a Mercury Records single that topped the Billboard country charts for five weeks. He moved on to United Artists and then to Musicor, notching hits including “She Thinks I Still Care,” “The Race Is On,” “A Good Year for the Roses” and “Walk Through This World With Me.” Jones signed with Epic Records in 1971 and worked with producer Billy Sherrill to craft a sound at once elegant and rooted, scoring with “The Grand Tour,” “Bartenders Blues” and many more. Sherrill also produced duets between Jones and his then-wife Tammy Wynette, and in the 1970s they scored top-charting hits including “We’re Gonna Hold On,” “Golden Ring” and “Near You.” By the time “Golden Ring” and “Near You” hit in 1976, Jones and Wynette were divorced, and Jones was battling personal demons. His solo career cooled until 1980 when he recorded “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” a ballad penned by Curly Putman and Bobby Braddock that helped Jones win Country Music Association prizes for best male vocal and top single. “He Stopped Loving Her Today” revived a flagging career, and Jones won the CMA’s Top Male Vocalist award in 1980 and 1981. He also earned a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. He signed with MCA Records in 1990 and began a successful run, and he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. His guest vocal on Patty Loveless’ “You Don’t Seem To Miss Me” won a CMA award for top vocal event in 1998, and it became his final Top 20 country hit.

Sleepy LaBeef - "Tore Up"
Sleepy LaBeef – “Tore Up”
I love Sleepy LaBeef immensely and unapologetically. He’s a rockabilly legend, recording records for Starday and Sun back in the day, and still alive and kicking in 2017. His recordings are about as fun as it gets, and his live performances, many of which are on YouTube…well, they’re sure to put a smile on your face and make you want to get up and dance, or at least tap your feet and nod your…

The second 45 ever released by the legendary Starday Records. I hear that the original studio in Nashville, which had laid dormant for several years, was finally knocked to the ground last month.

Session Summary - 91
AKA “Sacred Order Of Akabar”
Adventures in Taggriell
Session 91  (Date: 7th August 2020)

- Paul (Known as “Labarett”) Elf Male.
- Travis (Known as “Trenchant”) Human Male.
- John (Known as “Ragnar”) Dwarf Male.
Absent Players

NPC
- (Known as “Naillae”) Elf Female. <Controlled by DM>
Summary
- Fireday, 12th Gozran in the year 815 (Second Era). Early Summer.
- The party begin this session, late in the evening, still exploring the hidden Yuan-ti hideout under the city of Phlan.
- The party decide to take a long rest, hoping to awaken and continue exploring the rest of the hideout before getting caught. During this time, Ragnar takes one of the shields from the armoury to replace his destroyed one. Labaret reads the recovered journal and learns this group is but one part, of a larger organisation, known as the Sacred Order Of Akabar. This Order operates in human lands and cities, attracting recruits to the worship of Dendar. This cell of the Order, located in Phlan, kept watch on the closest human lands to the Serpent Hills of the Yuan-ti. The Order had been instructed to find a stolen artefact known as the Eyes Of Dendar. A Teleport Circle scroll was also obtained, with instructions to use it to return the artefact to Gill-tan-garas, the largest and most defended of the Yuan-ti dens. However, no Teleport Sigil was provided to target that location.
- During the night’s watch, two wandering Yuan-ti Serpentine Monks came across the party but were quickly dispatched before they could alert the rest of the hideout.
- Starday, 13th Gozran in the year 815 (Second Era). Early Summer.
- After their rest, the party awoke in the early morning and used the two serpent keys to open the large metal snake door. On the other side, a long well lit hallway with a shallow pool was revealed. Two large snake statues, partially blocking the hallway, poured green liquid from their open mouths into basins.
- Not wishing to enter the shallow pool, the party began using some bunk beds to make a bridge across it, but were interrupted half way across by Serpentine Monks using a lever to begin closing the snake doors behind them and filling the pool with poisonous aquatic snakes.
- The party forced their way across the pool, fighting onwards, and rounded a corner to find two Yuan-ti Malisons guarding a prison cell. The party managed to get to the levers and stop the snake door closing, and freeze the shallow pool, allowing safe passage over it. Soon the two Malisons and Serpentine Monks were defeated.
- The party kept watch and readied themselves against a nearby thick black curtain, blocking a passageway that showed some light on the other side. The sound of movement had been heard from the other side.
- During this time, the prison cell was opened and three prisoners were allowed to leave. In their haste, the party neglected to warn the prisoners to keep to the markers above, and tragically the party would later discover all three prisoners dead in a blade trap.
- Labarett’s mage hand began to pull aside the black curtain, and immediately arrows came shooting outwards towards Varis, who also returned fire from his bow. Not wishing to waste time, the Dwarven cousins, Sir Krondor and Gim rushed past the curtain and into a large study and prayer room. Five Yuan-ti Purebloods were soon joined by a Yuan-ti Nightmare Speaker.
Tumblr media
- The Nightmare Speaker looked identical to the Den Mother the party had killed back in the Serpentine Hills, and this creature spoke like she recognised the party. The creature hissed that the party were the ones to steal the Eyes Of Dendar.
- Not understanding what the creature meant, the party pressed onwards with the attack. The Purebloods dropped quickly whilst the Nightmare Speaker was sending dark ethereal tendrils of necrotic energy to thrust into and search the party, causing sever damage and harm in the process.
- Under the combined might of the party, all the Yuan-ti forces fell.
- A quantity of religious books on the Yuan-ti were taken.
- Moving onwards, through a wooden door, Sir Krondor and Gim snuck forwards, down a long narrow passageway towards a well lit chamber. They came across two more Yuan-ti Nightmare speakers, identical in appearance to the others. Immediately, one of the Nightmare Speakers filled the narrow corridor in thick, dark ethereal tenderils, so packed together that they blocked all vision. The tendrils were only visible when Ragnar used a Daylight spell to illuminate the area.
- The corridor was not blocked long however, as Labarett run through the tenderis, which were slowing him down, and made it through the other side. Wasting no time, he ran straight for the closest Nightmare Speaker and slashed a mighty blow across her chest and shoulder. With a shriek of pain, her concentration faltered, and the dark tendrils vanished.
- Their way now clear, the rest of the party stormed into the chamber, attacking the two Nightmare Speakers. Eventually, after a long battle both creatures were killed. Searching the chamber, another leather bound book was recovered. This book contained a map of the Serpent Hills and a Teleport Sigil was recorded on it, for Gill-tan-garas.
- A secret door was located that gave direct access to the hideout exit. The party left and made their way through the sewers and to the nearest grate. After discovering they were on the outside of the city, near a large and heavily fortified keep (Grimshackle Jail), they kept to the sewers and made their way back into the city and popped out of a sewer grate south of the Podol Plaza.
- Making their way over to the Cracked Crown Inn, Labarett handed back the Will-O-Wisp catcher to Seranolla The Whisperer. Moving next door, Trenchant advised Olisara Lightsong about the information regarding who one of the Rebel Leaders were. Olisara recognises the surname, and informs the party that this Greycastle must be Captain Jhessail Greycastle, of the now defunct Knights Of The Black Fist. She was second in charge of the Knights. The Harpers believed she was dead, along with the killed Knight Commander Ector Brahms, when there was no news of her after the Cult invasion. Olisara thanks the party for this information as it may now be possible to find Greycastle.
- The party head back to their ship, the Frostskimmr, thanks to a diversion made by the Harpers to get the party past the Cult forces guarding the jetty. Captain Lerustah is relived to see the party, as he was due to set sail away, at the end of daylight today if the party had not returned.
- Now with more time, the other book recovered from the hide out is read. It explains that the Eyes Of Dendar are in fact two gems. These gems, hidden by magic, had been lost for eons until both were recently recovered. However, it would appear that the party had unknowingly stolen them from the Yuan-ti den in the Serpent Hills.
- After Maccath The Crimson looks over the party’s treasure and identifies the enchanted Mace and the dagger located from the Hideout, the party insist that she look over the gems they carry. At first she states they are all normal and not magical, but at the insistence of the party, she keeps trying to detect any magical presence. Eventually, after much trying and effort, and with a large push of arcane force she manages to detect the hidden magical aura on two gems. With some effort she removes a permanent illusion and concealment enchantment over the gems, and as she does so, two blue round aquamarine gems change appearance to two yellow eye shaped gems. Maccath advises the party they are of great magical power, and would appear to be some type of magical key.
<And as the party sail into the Golden Channel, leaving the city of Phlan far behind them as they set sail for Crescent Moon, that is the end of the session.>

Here's a classic trucker tune from 1952 performed by Doyle O'Dell.  This song also became the title of a truck driving album on Starday in 1963 "Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves and Other Truck Driver Favorites."  That version was recorded by Bobby Sykes.
