Little Queenie - Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan at Jones Beach

 



Bob Dylan also covered Roll Over Beethoven at earlier concerts on the Never Ending Tour.  I have not found any evidence of Chuck Berry's covering a Dylan song.

Random Thoughts of the Day - July 4, 2024



  •  Happy 5th birthday to my grand nephew Teddy Shapiro who lives in Walnut Creek, California.  I discovered from his mother's Instagram account they are celebrating in Maui
  • I remember my old friend Mike's 4th of July birthday barbeque from 1969, 1970, and 1971.
  • Another old friend of mine texted me today saying that his landline and cell phones were disconnected when he tried to contact a mutual friend (HK).  He presumed HK had passed away.  I told him it was possible that HK moved and was too cheap to keep his cell phone.  I could not find an obituary online.
  • There was an unconfirmed report on a message board that radio personality Les Davis passed away.  I listened to him when he did a morning show at WYNY over 40 years ago.  Les worked at several other NYC radio stations.  Again, I could not find an online obituary.

Aron's Kissena Farms Reopens Today


Aron's Kissena Farms is a kosher grocery store five miles from my home.  I have gone there for kosher meat for several years.  The kosher butcher in my immediate area closed in the late 1980s since the Jewish population diminished.  About three weeks ago Aron's stated there was a serious electrical problem and had to close indefinitely.

Over the past few weeks, they issued just a few email announcements about the situation.  IMHO the management should have stated in detail the nature of the electrical problem and why it took so long to resolve.  The observant customers had to go elsewhere for kosher meat.  I assume Aron's had insurance, but likely it didn't cover all the financial losses caused by the closure.

I decided to wait until tomorrow to shop there.  I assume they will be very busy on their first open day.
