It's Derby time .................

Yes, my eyes are filled with tears, I just listened to "My Old Kentucky Home" at the Derby. I have heard that many times, used to listen to it on the radio and many years on television. One of the GREAT moments in sports, quite an event.

I have sat in the chair, at the desk of Stephen Foster, who wrote the song.

The Derby is special, one of those moments I never forget.

Now for the race .... oh, after this commercial, I hate that ...........................
