He co-wrote Knock on Wood, In the Midnight Hour, (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay with Otis. He played on Green Onions. With Rod Stewart, Lennon, Prine, Ringo, Buffett, Etta James, Leon and so many others. And of course, The Blues Brothers. Play it Steve Cropper and RIP.

Say what you will about nutrition, diets, obesity percentages and eating on the run rather than sitting down as a family… but no other civilization has made mealtime more fun than we have!

Happy Birthday to Matthew McConaughey, who helped create Longbranch bourbon. It is better than alright.

While our worlds crossed numerous times, I had never actually met David Bernacchi until he reached out to gift me these amazing photos. At the time he told me he was ill. He will be missed. I missed a chance to get to know him a lot eariler. RIP
