I think everyone should have a "Annie" tucked away in a corner somewhere of every house in the world 

What would we do without our Annie

So who's going to talk to "Picture of You" then ??!! 

There's a few people on Roots that have My Space ..... I've just sent a couple of PM 's

I went through loads of pictures at the library .... couldn't find anything specifically for Salford ... but sometime when you have a few hours to spare  take a look !!  ..... fascinating to see how many people were involved !!

I put this on the other thread and thought I should put it here too !! 

Black Elk was one of a party of six Lakota Indians who unwisely allowed themselves to become detached from the rest of Buffalo Bill’s entourage just before it was scheduled to sail back to the States at the end of the 1887-88 season in England. As a consequence, they found themselves stranded in Manchester. They resolved their predicament by travelling to London, where they had heard that Mexican Joe had a rival Wild West show, and enlisted as performers

I never heard of Mexican Joe before, but we used to have a playground skipping song:

Cowboy Joe from Mexico
Hands up, stick em up, drop your gun and pick it up
And out you go

You did the 'hands up' etc actions when it was your turn in the rope

Didn't have you down as a skipper Migky - man of many talents I see 

I had a look to see if anyone knew the origin of the 'Cowboy Joe' rhyme, in case the skipping song turned out to be about Mexican Joe's wild west show - couldn't find anything though.

Must not get sidetracked into skipping songs! 

Mexican Joe doesn't get such a good press as Buffalo Bill though does he? Bit sad to think of his show going bust in Barnsley... sounds very cold and miserable   http://www.tnais.com/bbis/mj.html
