On That Note - This Year's Model

Hi and welcome to another edition of On That Note. CF's weekly post on music topics, hosted alternately by myself, @CycloneRulzzz and @cyclones500.

Last week's post on the topic of "Have A Drink On Me" can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-have-a-drink-on-me.246380/page-7#post-6568022

This week's topic is "This Year's Model". Described as: songs that specifically mention a car Make (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Mercedes etc) or a vehicle Model (Corvette, Mustang, GTO, Beetle, etc.). Mention can be in the title, lyrics or both.

One caveat, songs that mention the word, "car" or "automobile" but DO NOT call out a Make or Model are ineligible (example - the Beatles' Drive My Car). Or even songs about car situations that don't include a Make or Model are not eligible (such as Chuck Berry's No Particular Place to Go).

As usual, I will kick the topic off with 5 that popped into my cranial cavity as I pondered the topic.

Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else: "My car's out front and it's all mine, just a 41 Ford, not a '59..."

The Kinks - Cadillac: Not only do the lyrics mention the Cadillac, they even spell it, "C A D I L L A C!" (FYI, original version was by Bo Diddley)

Dwight Yoakam - Long White Cadillac: Sticking with the Cadillac theme here. Yes pulling something from the country genre.. surprise!

Chuck Berry - My Mustang Ford: There are several songs meeting the criteria from this Rock and Roll legend. Other CFers can post them. I like this lesser known gem.

The Refreshments - 55 Ford: No explanation needed. See my Avatar. Yes, it's a '55 Ford.

Big 12’s Women’s Tournament back in KC 2021-2024

Just a quick reminder and some Great News to The Cyclone Family

The Big 12 Women’s Basketball tournament is coming back to KC for 2021-2024 seasons!

I’ve never experienced the women’s tournament but definitely plan on it in KC.

Is it still the week before the mens or are they planning on doing the girls and guys the same week?

They are planning on using the remodeled Municipal Auditorium it sounds like.
Should be a good time!

Thanks!

Kansas City...Big 12 Run, etc

Man, I really hope ISU fans turn out in massive numbers like we have in past seasons. This team is one great run away from giving us wonderful lasting memories. Makai Mason might not play for Baylor. Dean Wade is probably out for K-State. Let's do this!

Every Saturday morning there is a 5k or 12k run in downtown KC. ISU usually has a good turnout and I'm hoping this year will be no different. Get signed up, stick around for the beer after, and enjoy the camaraderie with fans from opposing teams.

Let's go State!

Ping Pong Table (Table Tennis)

Just moved into our new house a couple weeks ago. Now that the unpacking is nearly complete, it's time to start thinking about the important things!

I want to get a Ping Pong table for the bar area. (Not ready for the pool table or combo yet).

I'm looking to the collective CF wisdom and experience to help me find the right one. I want a fairly decent one (not a cheap one from Kmart, etc.) that will last a long time and endure 3 younger kids. It needs to fold up (which I believe most do). I also want to make sure the net system isn't garbage like so many I've seen, where the bracket clamps on the table and end up ruing the table.

Any way, thanks for your insight! Happy Friday!
