Saturday Matinee – Earl Hooker, Sam Maghett & Joanna Connor

Here’s Earl Hooker’s guitar with Earl Hooker [1930-1970].

Here’s Earl Hooker’s guitar being ripped to shreds by Magic Sam Maghett (1937-1969). I think the song is also named Looking Good.

Here’s Joanna Connor’s guitar, played by Joanna Connor, playing Magic Sam playing Earl Hooker’s guitar.

Killer stuff, that. Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more stuffing and gravy.

In 1915, The U.S.S. North Carolina Became The 1st US Aircraft Carrier.

 

[The] catapult was installed on board the U.S.S. North Carolina during the late summer of 1915. The first test was made with a plane which carried no pilot, with the controls lashed in flying position. The experiment was successful so far as the catapult was concerned, although the plane stalled at the end of the track and spun into the water. This was sufficient proof for Lieutenant Commander Mustin, commandant of the station, and he ordered the second plane aboard to be prepared for a catapult shot. Climbing in and warming up the engine he flew the first plane off a catapult mounted on a ship. After several live shots, the next attempt was to catapult a plane while the ship was definitely under way. Lieutenant A. A. Cunningham, U.S. Marine Corps, was selected for this experiment. This shot, however, failed and the plane struck the water with one wing and turned over. Fortunately, the pilot swam out from under and was picked up by a boat.

Saturday Matinee – Musical Weaponry

That’s kinda funny until you realize that not one of those idiots in the vid had any significant training in the safe handling of firearms.

That’s kinda funny until you realize that each of those idiots in the vid had significant training in the safe handling of firearms yet they still treated them as toys.

That’s kinda funny until you realize that each of those idiots in the vid had little training in the safe handling of firearms yet they treated them as toy weapons. I love it.

Okay, lets move on. How ’bout another gun song?

Yeah, I could link to this, but I won’t.

“The science behind what makes these sculptures move is called a homopolar motor: a direct current electric motor that produces constant circular motion. They’re remarkably easy to build. Yukawa’s sculptures, on the other hand, are not. To build the homopolar motar, all you need is a small magnet on one end of a battery. Then place a free-standing conducting wire on top, thus completing the circuit.”
