Is this a parody or just a cover? I think Pat was serious when he did Led Zeppelins Stairway to Heaven

Didnt Pat Boone do a cover of Stairway to Heaven?

Of course there is "Leader of the Pack" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UKf65NOzM but how about this Leader of the Laundromat by the Detergents

I look forward to the day when these women get paid a whole lot more. in relation to the NBA and other leagues, they should. Yet, economics, I just dont see it. Crowds have never grown like I personally hoped, TV needs to have higher numbers. History. The WBL, WABA, WBA, ABL and others...

Thoughts and prayers to her for a complete recovery and to you and the rest of your family during this scare.

I saw this issue happen with a friend of mine a few years ago. She plays in senior wbb games. they won national championships about 6 years ago. the following year they played a team out around the rocky mountains. 2 of the players were transgender and she told me both played college...

One thing I have heard from a few that have moved elsewhere. Try and spend up to a couple of months in the area where you may move to, if you can afford it. Get to know the community a bit etc. I have heard from more than a few that while the temperature, etc was nice, it was really lacking...

Retiring to Saco Maine. same basic house (near ocean) worth just a bit more than here and taxes 20% lower on house. so much to do.. even in winter. in summer we have a drive in, beach, river, 3 theme parks, state forest, 3 miles from Old Orchard. Lot of culture. In the winter Old...

Sorry to hear of this Nan. You do things on your own time because of something you believe in. There are people that take those people that give their time for granted to be point of even becoming nasty when they feel they are not getting what they want and get nasty. I rarely post here...

Hope ok to post here and now with all going on in the tournament. The film rights to Barnstorming America have been optioned by a production company who have credits in some well known movies Option is just first step. May or may not progress but will be exploring possibilities of film...

Yes, probably true. Thanks for the ordering of the book. If we ever meet and you would like me to sign it, I would be honored. I have about 16 players that played on 7 of the various barnstorming teams doing a book signing down in Dallas during the Final 4 at the end of the month. All...

Ok, some of you may have heard of them, but I know so many that have not. The All American Red Heads. played only against men and by their rules, 200+ games a year, all on the road, winning aprx 80% Even a 96 game winning streak (in only 96 days). Their stories and other players on other...

Thoughts and prayers to you all

A bit of sad news. A player in the book has passed away. Allegra "Stubby" Winters. She started with the Ozark Hill Billies, moved over to the All American Red Heads pre and post WWII before going to the Arkansas Travelers with HOF Hazel Walker. Stubby is on the cover of the book. She was...

I saw the "pre-order" on Amazon about the 15th. The book got in a bit sooner then they planned, I talked with my publisher. They ship to Amazon 2-3 times a week so, they will have book very soon and will be able to ship. I hope you will enjoy it. Many of these players are very private...

Thanks very much. A major book signing is also going to happen at the Final 4 in Dallas. Players from a few of these historic teams are all coming together for the first time ever to be a part of this. All American Red Heads Southern Belles Texas Cowgirls Shooting Stars Arkansas Gems and...

Thank you very much. Here is a bit of the intro, thought some of you might like to see how this book is tied to Glastonbury and UConn **** I grew up in the little farming community of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, where it seemed everyone’s yard shared a boundary with one of the numerous...

Barnstorming America is now available. 200 pages with nearly 200 pictures, most never published. Large coffee table sized hardbound book. 85+ stories right from the players themselves and a few from family members from those that have passed on. This book became a dream of mine because my...

Only 16 years after Women won the right to vote, a women's basketball team out of Cassville Missouri, jumped in a car and began a tour of America, playing basketball against men and by their rules, breaking every social rule that had been set for them. Come along for a ride and Barnstorm...

Thank you, I will. Deadline for gathering stories is actually today. Have almost 80 women from 30s to 80s being represented in this book.

I know a few here are interested and hope even more might check it out. Official. I have signed a contract with a publishing company to publish a book on the above. Not about teams, but the players themselves. Stories going back to the days of the depression, working up through the mid 80s...

Good day, I am working on a book of stories of women that barnstormed the country for 50 years. close to 1/2 way done. Was wondering if any of you know any players like this that may be willing to share a story or 2. Have stories from players of around 10 teams already (Red Heads, Cow Girls...

Used to use H&R until their prices started going through the roof. with many various forms we need we went with a company out of Middletown. 5 years later they are still cheaper than H&R. With many forms now electronic, was able to file by January 15 and refunds arrived quickly. with...

I still include Wayland Baptist College. Yes, the game was a bit different, but the AAU did crown the national championship back then and during their day, they won 131 straight.

are you speaking of Penny Marshall of Laverne and Shirley? Moria is what keeps coming to mind, but probably wrong.

Awesome part of the country. lived in Idaho for a couple of years and worked in the Nezperce National Forest. While I walk the beach on occasion, your area is one of the most special places I ever have been and was blessed to call it home for a couple of years. I have read where I lived had...

there is a little outdoor market that you can take a free trolley to. There is also a great museum of history there as well. It beat anything here in CT imo. I went down with little expectations and ended up enjoying the city very much. Ate at Calhouns as well and had my first green fried...

There are some that step aside,although a bit later in life. my friend is married to "The Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis. He is headed over to England to start his final tour. He just did a concert with Chubby Checker a couple of weeks ago. all I can say is that the people that commented onfacebook...

since our kids are now grown, my wife and I have 'rediscovered' our beloved music from when we grew up and have been going to some of these concerts. Frankie Vallie, John Fogerty, Mickey Dolenz, the Happy Together tour and more. It has been so much fun for us. Do they all have complete...

Ahhh. Dallas Diamonds. had such a nice program signed by NL on cover. I think they will have a bit better following down there. Yet, as with most of the WNBA teams, I do not expect any great following knocking down the doors. I hope I am wrong, but with the league at almost 20 years, the...

a few years ago i tracked down one of the All American Red Heads that played in the early years. as we talked, she told me how she played the 3zone game in junior high school. She then talked of her high school days and playing half court game for non other than the Hall of Famer, Bertha Teague...

The court was actually divided into 3 zones way way back.
