Four Walls&#39;s Discussions

As I’ve mentioned many times, I have acrophobia, a fear of heights. Once a year I will tackle this problem head-on. I did that on Tuesday, so now I’m good for another year. The Pensacola Lighthouse, located on...

The Other Side of the Camera

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 18h

One of my favorite webcams is a live cam in Destin, Florida. It points toward the west, over US 98, providing some spectacular sunsets. It also looks over Norriego Point, a beach at the end of Holiday Isle. It has four...

“Top” Ten Music Losses of 2024: Joe Bonsall (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 29 Jan

No surprises for the top three. Of course, I already told you who’s #1 (told you that back in September), but officially we’ll look back at these three greats. Here’s today’s major loss in the world of music from 2024. [b]#3:...

While I prepare to head out for the day I’ll pause for a moment to give you another one of the greats we lost in 2024. I’m surprised that some of these sneaked in under the radar, based on the “I didn’t know” comments left. This...

Damn the Torpedoes!

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 28 Jan

Most of you have heard the famous battle cry, “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” Today I went to the place where that famous line was allegedly uttered: Fort Morgan, Alabama. Fort Morgan began during the War of 1812 as...

“Top” Ten Losses of 2024: Louis Gossett, Jr. (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 28 Jan

Along with music, this year I’m looking at others in the world who left us last year. This seems to be going well, so I’ll — sadly — repeat it next year. That’s the bad thing, we’re already losing people. Today’s actor would be...

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 28 Jan

Howdy from the end of I-65! I ran out of road and smack dab into Mobile, Alabama! Nothing to report yesterday, because it was driving. Today might be a different story. Before I leave the hotel I’ll give you another great...

Different city, same restaurant: hi from Chuy’s. Before I get on with my day I have to eat. I forgot to post this at the hotel, so now you get to endure another music great that you don’t know the name of, but you...

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 27 Jan

Before I head out, I give you another person on the list of losses from 2024. This one was pretty painful, because she happened to be in two of my favorite movies. Let’s fondly remember this terrific actor today. [b]#5:...

Howdy from Athens! Alabama, that is…don’t think I’m in Greece. Heck, my food doesn’t even see grease anymore. My, my, but things have changed in my world of traveling. You see the item on the left? That...

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 26 Jan

Last year we lost a lot of certified legendary performers, in addition to all the no-names I’m throwing at you in the music half of this. Today’s entry is an excellent case in point of a true television and comedy...

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 26 Jan

Howdy from the road!! Okay, howdy from Chuy’s before I hit the road. Looks like my plans to go west have gone south, no no Louisiana and Mississippi this time around. I guess I can survive...

The weather is nicer!! The sun is out, it’s above freezing, and that ugly white stuff is melting. So why did I wait until NOW to plan an escape? I’m not leaving the faucets dripping while I’m on a trip....

Four Walls @FourWalls (70543) • United States 25 Jan

As with yesterday’s featured person from the losses of last year, today we focus on a man who gave us a movie for the ages. Actually, he gave us two Oscar-winners, as well as three classic TV series. With one of the movies...

Along with music, which is my primary passion, this year I’m looking at other performers in other realms who passed away in 2024. We’re in the “top” ten, a misnomer because nobody wants these people on an obit list! Today’s entry...

Good morning, or afternoon, or evening, or whenever! It’s time to soldier on through the cold (which I’m sure is affecting the internet ) and give you another person from the world of music that we lost last year....

Today I wasted an hour or so and went to the annual Sport, Boat, RV, and Vacation Show. It was generally pretty boring, although going in the middle of the day in the middle of the week is the perfect time to go. While I was...

Along with the others from the world of entertainment, politics, and public life who passed away in 2024, I’m doing my annual look at the music obituaries from last year that I found to be the most disheartening. While I’m not a...
