My Toot Toot
“My Toot Toot” is probably one of the silliest, yet catchiest zydeco tunes around. It’s one of those songs you just can’t get out of your head.
Here’s Rockin’ Sidney, singing his famous song & telling the story & Creole meaning behind it on Nashville Now:
And here’s a more famous version sung by John Fogerty:

The Baseball Shirt
Baseball Legend Stan Musial Wearing a Baseball Shirt with Cardinal Red Sleeves
The Major League Baseball season opener is this Thursday, so I thought I’d go with a blog post to celebrate the big day…
Baseball shirts are three-quarter length, raglan sleeve t-shirts worn under a team uniform shirt. The sleeves and neckband are made of a contrasting color to the body of the shirt and can be seen extending out from under the short-sleeved uniform shirt.
These t-shirts were very popular with American youth during the 1970s. They can be plain or have a silk-screened graphic on the front.

Soul Train
One of my favorite American TV shows of all time is Soul Train. When I was growing up, I anxiously awaited the broadcast every Saturday afternoon to hear all the latest R&B acts and learn some new moves. A lot of other people liked American Bandstand, which was another music & dance show that also aired on Saturdays, but for me, Soul Train was “the hippest trip in America.”
My absolute favorite segment on the show was when the host Don Cornelius announced the “Soul Train Line.” This lineup allowed the Soul Train dancers to showcase their best moves down a parallel line of all the other dancers. This gave them a stage to let it all hang out & I loved every minute of it. I still do.

As Soul Train’s Don Corneilus always says at the end of the show…PEACE, LOVE & SOOOUUUL!
