A Darter Looks At 42

My birthday is coming around again this weekend. What a great time to think back on all the fun I've had with darts. I started playing back in New Orleans over 13 years ago, and little did I know at the time how many friends and how many good times I would have from playing darts. What a great game!

The birthday fun has already started. Today some of my friends at work took me out to lunch, and on Saturday I am heading in to Philadelphia to shoot in a Charity Luck of the Draw Tournament. Considering that my birthday is also my anniversary I will be taking Margaret out Sunday. Maybe I will get a little time to recover before work on Monday, but then again maybe not :)

I am heading down to New Orleans in April, which should be fun. Who knows, I might even bring my darts. Like many darters, I LOVE good food, and New Orleans is one of the greatest places in the world for that. I will give you a full account afterwards, if they can fit me on the plane back to New Jersey.

Speaking of food, I had a lot of fun lately on iTunes. (Don't worry, I will make a connection between food and music in a minute!) Margaret told me you could make a "iMix" or playlist of your favorite songs that anybody could see and download. With food and our New Orleans trip on my mind, I made a mix of my ten favorite songs to cook by, with a New Orleans flavor to it. If you have iTunes, you can check it out by clicking here. Hey, I wonder...any good dart songs we can make into a iMix?

Good idea, but the link doesn't seem to be working at the moment?

I think you may have to have iTunes open for the link to work. Anyway, if that does not work, here are the songs, which you could always get separately: Red Beans by Marcia Ball; Jambalaya by Tab Benoit; Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner by Kermit Ruffins; Rad Gumbo by Little Feat; They All Asked For You by The Meters; Mama's Cooking by Marcia Ball; Hot Chili Mama by Beausoliel; Hey Good Lookin' by Buckwheat Zydeco & Dwight Yoakam; Junk Food Junkie by Larry Groce; and Everybody Eats When They Come To My House by Cab Calloway. If you are in iTunes, you can also search iMixes for "Music to Cook By".

Cheers Kevin - it will be my problem. I'm not using iTunes. I've got the Little Feat one, but most of the others are new to me. One Meat Ball by Ry Cooder is a bit sombre, but Poke Sallet Annie by TJ White makes great darts practice music.
