Day Fifty-three - "Shooting the Letter V". . .

It wasn't easy finding an antique "U" - Good Old Uncle Sam came through! So for "V" we have another gimme - let's not forget this Challenge was something I set up for me. The added pressure of keeping my bloggers happy has not been easy. . .



And, for those still looking forward to today's trivia: 

To which states were these songs going?
Midnight Train to _______
Sweet Home _______
Hotel (Eagles) _______

Those who recognized Uncle Sam include Michelle, Carol, EMO, Joyce, Ann B., Tony, Steph, Michael K., Mike P., Peyton, Mike Di., Phil, Joani, and Milt. Welcome HGT to the mix with a correct Uncle Sam!! As a former Sebastian Collectible Appraiser, I can attest to this figurine being at least fifty years old.


"American Pie" was a tribute to the late great Buddy Holly. A little over fifty years ago, Buddy died in a plane crash with Richie Valens ("Donna") and J. P. Richardson aka the Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Every year in early February, the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa has a tribute concert. 

As for our trivia experts - EMO, Ann B., Michael K., Mike P., Mike Di., Peyton, and Milt.
