Prioritized Daily Task 

10 AM - 11 AM   Legacy center to exercise  

10 AM - 1 PM  Jami brought Jack over to spend time with us while she went to her doctor's appointment.

"Ballad of A Mountain Man" - Bascum Lamar Lunsford 1882 - 1973.    Lunsford gave lectures and performances while dressed in a starched white shirt and black bow tie. This formal dress was part of his campaign against the stereotyping of “hillbillies”.   Lunsford's original recording of "Good Old Mountain Dew" was used as the first advertising theme for the newly created Mountain Dew soda. He sold the rights to the song for a train ticket homeIn 1964 Lunsford was the subject of a documentary film, shot with a 16mm hand held camera, by New York City filmmaker, David Hoffman
