We Miss You Wayman
It’s extremely rare when we are blessed with such a talent like Wayman Tisdale. His larger than life presence, ability, and extraordinary smile is something we will be reminded of whenever we hear his name and his music.
We salute Toby Keith for giving us this remarkable video of Wayman.

Uncle Sam
There is some dispute to the origins of “Uncle Sam” as the personification of the United States. The 87th United States Congress believed that Sam Wilson was the source of the name, and on September 15, 1961, resolved to “salute Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of America’s national symbol of Uncle Sam.”
But the Sam Wilson story is unproven. Sam Wilson (1766-1854) worked as a subcontractor to one Elbert Anderson, who supplied rations to the military during the War of 1812. The initials “E.A.-U.S.” were stamped on all goods shipped, and a joke began that the “U.S.” stood for “Uncle Sam”, meaning Sam Wilson.
But another theory suggest that “Sam” is a Gaelic acronymn which means United States of America.
One thing that is certain is that Uncle Sam’s appearance is purely an invention of political cartoonists. The most famous Uncle Sam is that seen on the “I Want You For U.S. Army” recruiting poster. It was drawn by James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960), who used himself as a model.
The above text is taken from “1,000 Common Delusions and the real facts behind them”. Written by Christa Poppelmann. Highly recommended.
