THE CHET BAKER BLUES + MORE FERRON FUN +QUIZ WINNERS

Chet Baker

About 10 or 12 yers ago my son in law, Bubba, put me on to a great jazz trumpeter and vocal artist named Chet Baker. I became an instant fan and have collected many of his CD's. I didn't know much about him except that he peaked out in the 1950s and eventually suffered from very serious drug problems. Recently I saw a movie on The Sundance network titled "Let's Get Lost." It is a documentary made in 1989 about Baker, his carreer, struggles with herion addiction, and ultimate death of an apparant suicide at age 58. If you are a Chet Baker fan, I recommend renting the movie. If you are a jazz fan I recommend that you discover the trumpet and voice of Chet Baker.

Trolling and fly fishing were, once agin, very good at Ferron over the past weekend.

Barb and I were late getting there on Friday night and the Wire Nuts had supper waiting for us. Andy and the kids bedded down in Tiny Terror Village and the rest of us stayed in the cabin. Early the next morning Spike woke me up and wanted to go fishing. I explained to him that I was still kind of tired and that he should go by himslef and start without me. He quickly scampered off towards the lake. About 20 minutes later, as I was making some coffee, I heard a commotion outside and went to the front porch. Sure enough. Here came Spike up the hill from the lake with one of the biggest Rainbows I had ever seen. Needless to say he was very proud.

BAD HAIR DAYS OF THE WEEK

Second Place: Donald Trump

First Place: Phil Spector

OUTDOORS WITH RANGR BOB

"Hi folks. Ranger Bob here. The other day I was out climbing a tree in my back yard and setting out some poison bate for a couple of Bald Eagles that have been annoying me. I was using a Spotted Owl that I had shot in the woods and laced with stricknine as bait. Suddenly my cell phone rang and it was President Obama. President Obama said, " Ranger Bob, now that I am head of General Motors, do you have any ideas on what I can do to turn the company around and make it profitable." " Yes I do, Mr. President, I have a great idea. Recently the Salt Lake Tribune had an article about the fact that more and more people are buying used cars because thay cannot afford new cars any more. Suddenly a light bulb came on in my brain. Why doesn't GM start building used cars? That's where the market is. The demand is there. The financing is there. If GM would quit building new cars by 70% and concentrate on building used cars I think it would soon put them back in the black." "That's a great idea, Ranger Bob," said the pres. "I will go to the brain trust of GM and impliment your idea immediately. You are a true American, Ranger Bob." "Thanks Pres, " I said, "I just want to be a good citizen."

That ended my conversation with Mr. Obama and I must say I felt pretty good about it. That same day I also had some luck with by eagle bait. Do any of you readers need some eagle feathers?
