What's your favourite baseball walkup music?

Played a lot of Beethoven's 9th symphony for my son.

Not walk up music, but incredible.

The second movement is fantastic.

And the fourth movement is just genius. Nobody ever had a choral movement in a symphony before and it is incredible.

 

Listening to Pet Sounds now. I know that some folks rate Sargent Peppers higher, but I listen to Pet Sounds many times per year and listen to Sargent Peppers about every decade.

 

All that needed was Ernest T. Bass.

 

Wire Palidan.

 

I did not like the ones that glorified killing native Americans.

That’s a great memory Baz!

 

<joke>Exactly. The proper term would have been cracker.</joke>

When I moved from the Southside of Chicago to the x-urbs in high school I came across the term "ridge runner". I had never heard that before. I had heard "white trash". And, of course, "honky".

My wife who grew up in Cincinnati introduced me to the terms "grits".

I should come up with a stand-up routine using all of these negative terms for white folks.

And I think that Chris Rock could come with an outstanding set incorporating all the other horrible terms for blacks that aren't the N-word.

 

Lol—I grew up in Albany, Ga. The Flint River divides the town into “East” and “West”. I grew up on the east side and we were known as “River Rats” by those west side city boys.

Here is a rocker from The Breeders:

 

I have been in Albany a few times. It was doing what was then an annual bike ride from Tally to there on one day (100 miles) and a return ride the next day. It was called TOSRV and it was the Tour of Scenic and Rural Vistas. Folks could sleep in the gym at the local college or camp out. I always camped out. They would truck your stuff up and back as part of the price.

It started when the guy that did it first in Ohio moved to Tally. The original was the Tour of the Scioto River Valley that went back and forth from Columbus, Ohio to the Ohio River.
