"The Appointment in Samarra"

(as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933])

The speaker is Death



There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

Little Critters Traveling Petting Zoo At Reed School Arlington Virginia October 26, 2010

Click to enlarge the above photographs. This is for people who don't know that already.

Yesterday on the way home from the liquor store I saw 2 llamas in the school yard across the street from our house. It turns out these llamas are correctly called  south american alpacas.

   I came on home and Rachel and I went across the street to the new school where a large group of small children and teachers were gathered for The Little Critters Traveling Petting Zoo.

    The small children were having so much fun and  squealing and laughing. The animals were all domestic animals and were friendly and in very good health. You can hire one of these traveling petting zoos for your own party for $175.00 an hour. $75.00 for the next hour. Read all about them in the link below.
http://www.travelingpettingzoova.com/

    What I felt watching the animals and the children was that kids(and grown ups) that live in cities and in the suburbs are suffering from not only nature deficiency but animal deficiency as well. They may have dogs and cats or small birds or some other pets but they dont have chickens, goats,donkeys,south american alpacas,rabbits, ducks, etc.
And zoos have more exotic animals than domestic animals.

This was a lot of fun watching the animals and the small children. The children were given small bags of some pellet type food to feed the animals.
 
Here is some information on alpacas.

Hopping A Freight Train Riding The Rails Meridian Mississippi To Birmingham Alabama Twice

In 1962 and again in 1964 I rode freight trains from Meridian,Mississippi to Birmingham,Alabama.

 I think I must have been reading far too much Thomas Wolfe and Woody Guthrie.
  The first time was around Spring Break in 1962 with Jeff Barr. We hopped the train in Meridian at night and rode all night long through pitch blackness in the crew car on the rear end of a Southern Railroad freight train. I had a toothache on that trip as I recall and we could hear the crew talking on a speaker or what I would call a squawk box. It came out sounding like a tape from the inside of a WW2 bomber.

   But no one bothered us and as I recall the crew car had something to stretch out on and even a wood burning stove.
  I think the train yard workers both times liked the idea that someone was interested in hopping freight trains. There were no railroad police or bulls to throw us off either time.


   The second time was in June of 1964 with Jack Newell. We also left at night but rode in an empty box car. When we got near Birmingham the train stopped. I stuck my head out to see where we were. It was just about daylight. I stepped back. The train lurched forward and the heavy door slammed shut narrowly missing me.

    Robert Stone in his memoir PRIME GREEN writes of riding this same train in 1959 or 1960. He was warned by a trainman to put a 2 by 4 in the door to keep it from shutting and locking him in the boxcar.

   Somehow we were not locked in the box car. But it was a long uncomfortable ride in the empty boxcar on a wooden floor.
We got off in Birmingham both times. It was taking too long and hitch hiking was faster.
   We walked through the train yard in Birmingham over what they call "the hump" where they separate the cars and they roll down a hill to various tracks to be made up in to other freight trains.
   
In 1962 Jeff and I were on the way to New York for a visit during spring break.
In 1964 Jack Newell and I were on the way to New York for the World's Fair and for Jack to visit his sister Jerry Newell. I was going on to Europe that summer after visiting my brother and going to The 1964 World's Fair.

Hopping freight trains was fun at the time but I never did it again. It was just too slow.

New Orleans Radio 1959/60 WNOE

 Here is some information about James A. Noe the owner of the station.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Noe
     In the book and movie Hall Of Mirrors by Robert Stone I am pretty sure the character Reinhardt gets a job as a DJ at a conservative radio station WUSA modeled on WNOE. The book is set in New Orleans around 1959 and James A. Noe did run for Governor with Earl Long that year.
   WNOE-FM is now a country station.
WNOE is now WLNO a Christian station.
Here is a clip from WUSA. Paul Newman plays Rheinhardt the DJ speaking to a rioting crowd at a political rally.

Mardi Gras In New Orleans 1960 With Dick And Vinnie

This whiskey was very cheap in price in 1960. I think in New Orleans I bought it for $2.99 a fifth.
   I went to New Orleans when I was a sophomore in college with 3 friends from my fraternity. Two of the guys were from New York. One of them knew how to make our money last. We went first thing to Schwegmann's Supermarket in New Orleans.
We bought cheese and french bread and bottles of chianti. I also bought a fifth of Ten High whiskey. The link below will tell you about this famous supermarket chain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Schwegmann
   We went to the Schwegmann's supermaket on old Gentilly Road mentioned in the link above. It truly was super. And the liquor department was enormous. And the prices were low. Liquor was sold in supermarkets in New Orleans. A new idea to me at the time. I had never seen that before.

This is a photo of the back patio of Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans.

   So off we went into the old French Quarter. And more or less straight to Pat O'Brien's bar.  In the back patio large football players were playing "king of the mountain" on top of the covered fountain. All chairs and tables had been removed and the fountain covered to protect it from damage from the large standing room only crowds. The big guys would throw each other off the covered fountain to see who could be the last man standing.
http://www.patobriens.com/patobriens/havefun/our_story.asp

  I remember also that year drinking whiskey sours in the front bar. It was once listed in Esquire magazine as one of the best bars in the country. Then they had nice soft leather chairs. All that is gone now. Pat O'Brien's is not what it once was. It has been sold to some corporation who has watered down the drinks and opened Pat O'Brien's in other cities.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_O'Brien's_Bar
 
As the night wore on I had managed to drink all but one swallow of the Ten High Bourbon over a period of maybe 8 hours. But I was so drunk they hung me over a tree limb in the back patio. My friend Dick said" You can't finish that let me have it". I said no and finished it myself. That is the last thing I remember.

What had happened I found out later. The place had gotten so full the police closed the front door and would not let more people in. Someone had gotten mad about that and shot or shot at someone. So the police arrested a large number of people and I was just carted off unconscious in the paddy wagon because I was passed out in the back patio by the tree.
   
In the morning I woke up in a tiled room that I at first thought to be the men's room in a bus station or hotel. I sat up. Some guy said "That kid doesn't even know where he is." You are right I thought. I looked around some more. It was a large room filled with men. Finally I saw some bars on a window and wised up. We were in jail. In the drunk tank as they called it then. In New Orleans at that time in 1960 if you were hauled off as a drunk they would take you to jail for 6 hours to sober up and then let you go. As it happened I was unconscious the whole time I was in jail.  Within a few minutes they called my name and and let me go. I had been in there sleeping from around midnight until 6 a.m.

 I walked back to where our car had been. It was gone. It was daybreak on a Sunday morning. I walked along Canal Street and found one of the guys from New York named Vinnie happily drinking at the Jungle Bar. He didn't seem to care that the other guys had left us in New Orleans and gone on back home.

   So Vinnie and I walked down Canal. He was tired and wanted to sleep. So he went over and went to sleep on the Simon Bolivar monument on Canal Street. I went to a nearby A&G cafeteria to eat some breakfast. There I met a guy from Indiana who had come down on a Greyhound bus and he and I sat and talked and I looked out the window.

    After a short while I saw a police car pull up to roust out Vinnie. They were waking him up when I got over there across Canal Street. They asked for our ID's and if we had any money. We had ID's but really no money left. They told us we had to leave town right away. We said  Ok. They left and we just went on back down in the French Quarter and resumed partying.

    Pat O'Brien's was really pleasant that Sunday. The weather was nice and many people were dressed in costumes. I remember a pretty girl dressed in a polka dot dress.
  Vinnie met a man who had sailed his sailboat around from San Francisco or so he said and he was buying us drinks.

   Late that evening we decided to go home. We hitch hiked out of New Orleans. It took some time.  We were stranded out in the middle of nowhere when a car full of students from our school stopped to pick us up. Inside was one of the campus beauty queens. She told us they had been to The Blue Room in the Roosevelt Hotel to see Frankie Laine.
    It was nice and warm in the car.  It was a pleasant surprise ending to a long day.

Graduation From Murphy High School Mobile Alabama In 1958 And A Trip To Biloxi Mississippi That Night

Click to enlarge the above photo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smirnoff

My high school graduation was in June of 1958. Murphy High School in Mobile,Alabama graduated 823 seniors and sent them out into the world ready or not.

    I had a few friends who had decided to head to Biloxi,Mississippi after the graduating ceremonies were over. That was because 18 year olds could drink alcohol in Mississippi but not in Alabama.

   I had bought two fifths of Smirnoff's vodka. The three other guys had brought along some liquor as well.

So off we went after the graduation ceremonies which were held at Ladd Memorial Stadium in Mobile. Ladd Memorial Stadium as it was then called was also home to The Senior Bowl each year as well as all the local high shool and college football games. It hosted concerts as well by the likes of Ray Charles and Brenda Lee and many others.

Click to enlarge the photos.
  It is a short drive from Mobile to Biloxi. And once you cross the state line you are street legal at 18 years of age. The Miss. folks also sold every kind of fireworks known to mankind. That stuff was also illegal in Alabama.

   When we got to Biloxi we found a motel room right on Highway 90 near the beach and the old downtown part of Biloxi. There wasn't much of a strip of nightclubs in Biloxi back in 1958.  But there were a few places. One of them was the Downbeat Lounge Jazz club mentioned in the post below.
   Now what happened that night was Gulfport High School graduated their seniors the same night as our high school in Mobile. So with all the liquor flowing some kids began to have fights. Some people seem to enjoy fighting more than anything.

 I was in the Downbeat enjoying my first taste of modern jazz. I heard there was a fight outside. I went out to look. Some really bad guy with a bad reputation was surrounded by onlookers. He was begging for someone to fight him. Someone produced a handgun and hit someone on the side of his head. I saw the bad guy from Pritchard, Alabama hit someone and I decided to go back in the nightclub. The police came and locked all my friends up as well as many of the others.

 I was very drunk from all the liquor so I went back to the Motel and went to sleep. Around 3 or 4am the phone rang. I woke up. No one else was in the room. I answered the phone. It was one of the guys wanting me to come down and bail them out. I had no money to bail them out. He sounded terrified. He said the Biloxi jail was a horrible place with only a hole in the floor to go to the bathroom. I told him I was sorry but there was nothing I could do.
   Now how it happened I do not know but all of those guys got out of jail and reappeared in the morning. Including the really bad guy from Pritchard ,Alabama. He had bragged in the past how he like to knock people's teeth out and I had heard of that so I tried to steer clear of him.

It was decided by someone that we would all drive up to Hattiesburg,Miss. So we motored on up there and drove out to Lake Shady outside of town. Here the bad guy decided he was going to part company with us. I had one fifth of unopened Smirnoff Vodka still in the car. He said to all of us that he was taking it. I saw no point in disagreeing with him so I said nothing. After the night before I was no longer thirsty and I was glad to see him go. It was a smart decision I have never regretted.
A few years  later he became a junkie and died an early death in Mobile.

I tore this out of a newspaper in Mobile,Alabama about 40 years ago so it is no longer current. No need to apply.

Modern Jazz On The Gulf Coast In The 1950s and 1960s Downbeat Lounge Jazz Club Biloxi Mississippi Long Gone

The above photo is the only one I have been able to find so far identified as being in the Downbeat Lounge in Biloxi, Mississippi. That is Lee Charlton on the drums in 1958.

The Downbeat Lounge was torn down sometime in the 1960s. The house piano player was a guy named John Probst. As I recall he was blind or near blind. He moved on over to New Orleans and recorded with Pete Fountain. But the Downbeat Lounge in Biloxi played only modern jazz.

It was a small place and a fine jazz club. It was a long narrow club with the bandstand at the back of the club. Over the bar and around the bandstand were some pictures of nude women painted on black velvet.

 I drove by the location in the late 1960s and where it had once been was now a plot of green grass outside some Motel.

Here are some reviews of Gulf Coast Jazz from that era.

http://www.jazzcookin.com/reviews.html

And here is some more info I found on Lee Charlton.

•Lee Charlton

Born in Attalla, Alabama, the son of a salesman who played sax, trombone and drums, Lee began playing drums at age 10, and never looked back. He was twice awarded Best Drummer in Alabama state competitions, and, as a teenager began both local and road jazz gigs, influenced early on by Shelly Manne, and later by Max Roach. During the Korean conflict, Lee was fortunate to have been surrounded by excellent musicians in the Army band. Once released, he played in bands all over the South, including Don Reitan's quintet on the Gulf Coast, and in Atlanta, played a trio gig with Wynton Kelly, and enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame playing with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Lee brought his New Orleans Quintet--which included pianist Ellis Marsalis and bassist Bun Blessey--to the Bay Area in 1963, where he has since made his home, playing for twenty years with fellow southerner Mose Allison, and recording with Mose, Vince Guaraldi, Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Beaver & Krause, pianist-composer Bryce Rohde and experimentalist Richard Waters. Lee has also played with Red Rodney, Chet Baker, Cal Tjader and Kenny Drew, and has joined Dave Grusin, Jack Sheldon, Maynard Ferguson, June Christie and Bob Cooper on various Bay Area gigs. Lee has used Verisonic drumsticks and brushes for over 30 years and endorses them.

This is an article from The Times Picayune Newspaper in New Orleans, Louisiana. It mentions a man who was the owner of the club in 1958. The author of this article made a mistake in the location of the Downbeat Lounge in Biloxi. It was not across Highway 90 from The White House Hotel.That would have been impossible.  Across Hwy. 90 was the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. The Downbeat was on Hwy 90 close to old downtown Biloxi. I believe it was located near The Buena Vista Beach Motel Hotel.

The matchbook below is from the Buena Vista Hotel. Click to enlarge.

Bottled-up emotion


A California vintner with ties to N.O. uncorked a 'Recovery Merlot' that sold out and raised $120,000 for local schools

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

Angus Lind





"New Orleans is the grande dame of the South. A mean woman named Katrina tore and tattered her clothes up a little bit, but she'll be back -- that's what I keep telling my friends," said Dr. Toad.



Dr. Toad is Todd Williams (aka The Toad), co-founder along with Rod Strong (The Badger) of Toad Hollow Vineyards, an award-winning winery in Healdsburg, Calif. That's the heart of wine country, 65 miles north of! San Francisco, where rolling valleys nestle alongside the Russian River.



When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Williams and Strong knew they had to do something to help.



"I've got a lot of friends from Pensacola to New Orleans," said Williams, a half-brother of actor Robin Williams. "I lived in Biloxi and New Orleans. It just upset me so much."



So he got about 1,650 cases of what he calls "pretty doggone good wine," and had his label person put their famous caricature toad in the Toad Hollow logo standing in water, wearing a hard ! hat and tool belt and clutching a hammer. They named the vintage Katrina Recovery Merlot and added the words "Proceeds to Gulf Coast Survivor Relief" on the label.



On the back label are these words: "From Plaquemines Parish to New Orleans and from Kenner to Biloxi -- devastation. But 300 years of history and culture cannot be wiped out by one hurricane. Please help the Gulf Coast recover."



The entire release of this tasty 2001 merlot sold out in less than two weeks. Williams said the winery sold it at cost and that as a result some $120,000 will be distributed to school districts in St. Bernard Parish, Waveland and Bay St. Louis.



"We thought it would be nice to throw some money at the little guys who might not be getting mentioned as much," he said.



A character of characters, Williams tells people he is "68 going on 20." He has been involved with bars and restaurants his entire life before getting involved with the wine operation ! in 1994.



He grew up in a split home, spending time in Lexington, Ky., and Chicago before running away from home at age 15. He rode to Naples, Fla., on a Whizzer motorbike and immediately got a job in a bar, the Pelican Club. "I just loved it. I loved to drink, loved the business, right away," he said. He would go on to own his first bar at 19, and by his count owned "some 17 or so joints." He owned the Downbeat Lounge in Biloxi in 1958, across U.S. 90 from the White House Hotel, and recalled that he had to pay a bootleg fee to law authorities.



Amazing what you remember about the old Gulf Coast.



He also, along the way, worked for Hyp Guinle's Famous Door on Bourbon Street.



"There are a lot of people I care about in New Orleans and along the coast," he said. "The Brennan family supports my wine; so does Muriel's. So do a lot of people down there."



In the early '90s, Williams' wife handed down an edict: No mo! re bars. He hooked up with Strong, who, according to Williams, had lived a similar life of excess, wining and dining his way through existence.



"We were just two old farts trying to stay out of trouble, trying to retire," Williams said, "and now, hell, I'm working harder at 68 than I was at 28."



What they came up with was a plot to produce high-quality wines that are interesting but not pricey.



"We have a lot of fun," Williams said. "Our labels are silly, but our wines are good." The names aren't bad either: Cacophony Zinfandel, Eye of the Toad Dry Rose, Erik's the Red (a robust red blend) and Le Faux Frog Chardonnay. The pairing was a natural. Dr. Toad, according to the vineyard's promotional information, is "a man known around the neighborhood as one who could sell sand to a sheik, as well as a consummate storyteller."



He would handle the marketing.



Mr. Badger, "a gentleman extraordinaire, who had honed ! his palate during visits to chateaus, whilst dancing for kings... would craft the wine." That's the legend, anyway -- which Williams says "isn't far" from the absolute truth.



Whatever. What's important is that Toad Hollow raised the money and Williams himself is traveling here to distribute it. He says there's little doubt that the sirens will call and he'll also slip into New Orleans for a taste of nightlife.



And already definitely on his schedule down the road is the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience on Memorial Day weekend at the end of May.



"I'm telling all my friends to get their fannies down there," Williams said. "The city needs them."

Note (in Faulkner's hand, p. 16): "True, true, true, to have said: One must understand a thing to love it--how/cold, cold. But to love and forgive--well, at sight, is better/than comprehension. A day thing at best."



Note (in Faulkner's hand, p. 74): "I'll be goddamned if I ever read such a bulging/mess of sweetness and light in my life. Imagine/a fattish man with a blond well-nourished moustache/carrying a flash light, and you've got the picture./What is the matter with these Huns? They composed/music nice, nice some of their painted pictures;/but now they cant [sic] even seem to win bicycle/races with dignity. But I retract: Mr Ludwig/Lewisohn must have translated this stuff."



Note (in Faulkner's hand, p. 79): "As the young fish, staring up through the ice at/the lady skaters, said: 'For Christ's sake.'"



Note (in Faulkner's hand, p. 84): "You damn right. It takes a good short-stop to/report a baseball game./Mencken on a hobby-horse; Billy Sunday having/a nightmare in the Browning society./His idea seems to be to take the toy train someone/else has made, and make a toy aeroplane of it./When a man lets the sheer physical pleasure of a galloping/pen get him he should by all means confine himself to/vagueness, else some/dull soul may prove facts on him afterward."



Note (in Faulkner's hand, after advertisements at end): "Bunk. It takes a German to accept an arbitrary and usually/false premise and arrive with unimpeachable logic at a con-/clusion not only unsound but usually impracticable. Goethe,/ for instance. Quite correct here, for Goethe deliberately/made himself a poet, and so is unique in all history./Shakespeare: after money and position, at least trying to/write plays/--taking the first thing that came to hand, which was the/stage/--becomes a poet by accident; Shelly [sic] trying/to fancy himself an atheist and a democrat, Keats trying/to seduce Fannye Brawne with words, Verlaine washing/his emotional dirty linen, Swinburne like a bird in the/top of a tree--all became poets by accident. What/did they care about establishing any correlation between/the important facts of hunger and sex and death/and any sort of spiritual world? Bunk. A real poet/hasn't got time to do that. Particularly as the German/critics are sure to do it for him, overreading him/with the bland courtesy of undertaking that appears before the/enjoie[?] is even dead. Stick to your music, ye logical/dull men. Let the French who are aware of the/utter unimportance of ideas, make criticism./Vide Wm. Pottlesy 2? September 1925/Normandy."
