What's in store for THIS BLOG in 2015? Maybe I can get more specific with that one.
I began this blog in March 2014 and by the end of the year I'd put up 95 postings. Crazy. Topics ranged from old books to silent movies to old photos to adandoned drive-ins to a giant frog in Mobile. Oh, and Alabama Pizza Pasta in London. All of it related in some way to Alabama history. Mostly.
This year the onslaught of random quirkiness will continue:
-What's the Alabama connection in Rock Hudson's 1953 film The Lawless Breed?
-Who were some well-known movie actresses from Alabama--besides Tallulah Bankhead--long before Kate Jackson, Louise Fletcher, Courtney Cox and Kim Dickens?
-What three famous film directors have Birmingham connections?
-Who were all those photographers criss-crossing Alabama for the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s?
-Who were three female writers from Alabama whose first names began with Z?
-Who was Ambrose Bierce and why did he come to Alabama in the 1860s?
-What kind of career has train robber Railroad Bill had in blues and folk music?
-Will the madness ever end?
As my grandfather used to say, "See you in the funny papers."
