I know I posted this on the "class" blog a few months ago, but, I love these folks.
"How old would ya be, if ya didn't know how old you was?" - Satchel Paige. My purpose in creating this blog, Meridiana, is to identify and capture an essence of those people, places and things that have contributed and, in some cases, continue to contribute meaning, texture and enrichment to the lives of those of us who grew up in Meridian, Mississippi during the ‘50s 'n' ‘60s. And, maybe i'll add a few surprises, too.

"Dublin Blues"
I'm really taken with Texas Country Rock.
I think it's the honesty I feel in the lyrics. Maybe it's another acquired taste... like martinis.

"Crying", Roy Orbison & K.D. Lang
Great song. These two enhance it with one of the best — if not the best —duet treatments of a popular song I've ever heard. When I put this up on the Class of ' 58 blog, I had many positive comments. Movie out takes in the video are from "Hiding Out" a 1987 film with Jon Cryer and Annabeth Gish. Frivolous, but not a bad '80s genre film.
