Speaker 1:

Hi, I'm Jim Murray. Welcome to the show. Our April 9th podcast. Something going on with our podcast I want to tell you about Now. I don't know if you're using your phone, your tablet or your regular computer to get to our website, but just a little bit down from the top you'll see something that says Join the email list and it says Join other listeners to get updates on new episodes and information. All you have to do is put your first name and your email address and subscribe.

Speaker 1:

Now, I know that word subscribe sometimes scares people off. I know it does me, but that's probably not the right word to have on there. But anyway, you give us your email address. It doesn't go anywhere. I've never sold an email address in my life and I'm not going to start now. It's private. Information comes along as we get going stronger. We want to give it to you first, so we'll just send you an email and say here's what's happening. So, really, here's what's happening now.

Speaker 1:

If you haven't subscribed and some have but if you haven't subscribed with your choice in the March and April song list, if you go to the page, it says song selections for March and April 2025. Just pick three. Maybe it's something you've heard before and you remembered it, or something that's coming up yet in April. As a matter of fact, I'll even throw May in there. I don't have the May songs up yet, but let's do it through May. So if you hear a song, listen to the podcast, you say man, that's hot, I want that. I will email it to you, three of them at one time. You have to give me all three picks at one time, free charge, no charge. You can have those songs in your collection. So that's the deal. All that for your email address, guaranteed. It goes nowhere except the News and Grooves family. We don't sell, we don't give emails. I don't want anyone doing that to mine, and I'm sure you don't either, and we hope to see you subscribe. Thank you, and now on with the show.

One night in 1973, the two young McDaniel children of Enfield, illinois, claimed to see a weird creature lurking in their yard and trying to get in the house. But Father Henry McDaniel chalked their creepy story up to the active imagination of childhood. However, he changed his mind later. That night, after being awoken by strange scratching sounds, mcdaniel grabbed a gun and a flashlight and peered outside his front door. There, between two rose bushes, he saw a creature that was almost like a human body, just as his kids had described. It had three legs on it, a short body, two little short arms and two pink eyes as big as flashlights, he recounted to a reporter. And two pink eyes as big as flashlights, he recounted to a reporter. Mcdaniel said he fired four shots and was sure he hit the creature at least once, causing it to make a hiss much like a wildcat's, before it ran off toward a railway embankment. Mcdaniel was stunned when he saw the monstrous beast jump 80 feet in three jumps before quickly running out of sight. The police found scratches on the door screen as well as footprints in the dirt near McDaniel's home that looked dog-like, with six toe pads. Yet no clues pointed to an unusual creature.

Speaker 2:

Mcdaniel's sighting made the Reading Eagle. But it was clear most people didn't believe it was true. It didn't help that a 10-year-old neighbor faked his own eyewitness account of the beast, only to later admit that his testimony was a prank against the McDaniels. Mcdaniel reported two more sightings of the alleged beast to local cops, but he said they eventually threatened him with jail time because nobody believed what he saw had been real. But McDaniel was adamant and stood behind his scary true story. If they do find it, mcdaniel said in an interview, they will find more than one and they won't be from this planet. I can tell you that After McDaniel's public testimony about the Enfield monster, other eyewitness claims began to surface. Monster hunters swarmed the town and at least five men were arrested after firing shots in the area and claiming to have photographed the creature no-transcript Santana as a vehicle for his compositions and guitar style.

The band first came to widespread public attention when their performance of Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock in 1969 provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This exposure helped propel their first album, also named Santana, into a hit, followed in the next two years by the successful Abraxas and Santana. In the years that followed, lineup changes were common. Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with Guru Sri Chinmoy took the band into more esoteric music, though never quite losing its initial Latin influence. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Arias, David Brown, Greg Rowley, Mike Carabello and Michael Shreed being honored. The band has earned eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, the latter all in 2000. Carlos also won Grammy Awards as a solo artist in 1989 and 2003. Santana has sold more than 90 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling groups of all time.

Jukebox playing all through the night. Life. Jukebox playing all through the night. Leather jackets and blue suede shoes can't stop loving these rockin blues. Grease in the hair and a twist in the hips, sweet sounds pouring from ruby lips. Fast cars and louder guitars slam the doors of smoky bars. Rock and roll will never fall. Hear that rhythm in the hall. Feel the beat down in your soul. This is the life we're gonna roll. Teenage dreams and beat up jeans Cruisin' under the stars. It seems Heartbeats fast like a dancin' song. In this world we all belong Chuck Berry playin' in my head. Johnny's voice just raised the dead. All the rebels. They know the score. Turn it up.

This is the life we're gonna roll ballet dancer balances on moving atvs while doing the splits. A syrian ballet dancer got into the split position and balanced on a pair of ATVs for a ride lasting 1,541 feet 11 inches to break a Guinness World Record. Yarik Der 26, broke the record for the longest distance covered while performing a split on two moving ATVs, a record that required her to not touch anything with her arms while each of her legs balanced on a different vehicle. The attempt in the United Arab Emirates also involved ATV drivers Mohamed Al-Blushi and Abdullah Al-Hatawi. We actually didn't know each other beforehand, but we meant to make this record and they were really great partners. Kder told Guinness World Records. Of course, confidence was important, and it was already there, because I saw their performance and I was confident that we could achieve the numbers successfully. The ATVs were required to maintain a speed of at least 3.1 miles per hour for the duration of the attempt. Kterre successfully took the record with a distance of 1,541 feet 11 inches.

Where no one but me knows the time, when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading and the broken glass paints a mural on the walk, and the cars and the flies in the alley sleep tight While the motors hum a lullaby and the sun in the morning will soon be aglow. So I slip into your light and close both of mine, sleepwalk your street in the middle of sleep, where no one but me Hears the song when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading and your windows and doors.
