Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Do you mean you can't read it because it's too small, or you can't see the image at all?

In any case, I can't cut and paste, because it's an image file.

Here's the source, is it any better for you?

Well I'd hope it was lovely and literate since it was written by one of the greatest authors of the century, lolz

Here, for your reading pleasure, so you can enjoy it more:

John Steinbeck Office: 206 East 72nd Street, NYC



Miss Marilyn Monroe
Waldorf Towers
Room 2728
New York City, N.Y.

Dear Marilyn:
In my whole experience I have never known anyone to ask for an autograph for himself. It is always for a child or an ancient aunt, which gets very tiresome, as you know better than I. It is therefore, with a certain nausea that I tell you that I have a nephew-in-law who lives in Austin, Texas, whose name is Jon Atkinson. He has his foot in the door of puberty, but that is only one of his problems. You are the other.

I know that you are not made of celestial ether, but he doesn't. A suggestion that you have normal functions would shock him deeply and I'm not going to be the one to tell him.

On a recent trip to Texas, my wife made the fatal error of telling Jon that I had met you. He doesn't really believe it, but his respect for me has gone up even for lying about it.

Now, I get asked for all kinds of silly favors, so I have no hesitation in asking one of you. Would you send him, in my care, a picture of yourself, perhaps in pensive, girlish mood, inscribed to him by name and indicating that you are aware of his existence. He is already your slave. This would make him mine.

If you will do this, I will send you a guest key to the ladies' entrance of Fort Knox and, furthermore, I will like you very much.

Yours sincerely,
John Steinbeck

This is for George, very interesting video about David Gilmour's Black Stratocaster, arguably one of the most important guitars in rock history.

I'm continually impressed by Tim's playing. He is truly a virtuoso, and can play just about anything.

You have to love Jeff Healey, died way too young, one of the underrated greats
