Crankin' It Up: The Brat is Back!
I gave Brat the week off and recycled an old record vid last week, and he was ready to get back in the saddle tonight. Flapperette is a lighthearted Fox-Trot, and Brat gives us some good tail-shakes to show his approval.

Gunblast's Reports From Shot Show
Jeff Quinn makes the most of his time in Vegas and videos his booth visits for our gratification. There are a lot of new products coming out this year, and I wish I could be in Las Vegas to see it myself. Check out Mr. Quinn's YouTube channel (GunBlastDotCom) to view more of his coverage of Shot Show.

Ruger's Auction To Benefit Homes 4 Wounded Heroes
Note: This is a two week auction, and it will end on January 15, 2014, mid-day.
Ruger's auction this week is a .44 Magnum Carbine that was shipped to K-Mart in 1972, and then later returned. You will see in the description and the photos that the gun is a bit shopworn, but that doesn't seem to bother the folks who are bidding. Click over to to Ruger's GunBroker page to see the entire description and to place your bid. 100% of the proceeds go to benfit Homes 4 Wounded Heroes.
Update: $1675 on Tuesday, January 14. Take a deep breath before you bid!

Shot Show Coverage
One of these years the True Blue Sam team would like to attend the Shot Show in Las Vegas, but for the time being, we will have to be content with following the reports of other attendees. Mr. Completely is on his way to the annual trade show, and he will be making an important announcement about Gun Blogger Rendezvous while he is in Vegas.
Caleb Giddings of Gun Nuts Media will be there, as will Jay G of Shooting Illustrated, and Jeff Quinn of Gunblast.com. I'm sure that other bloggers I follow will be there, and one of the easiest ways to find reports is to click on Gun Bloggers.com in my blog list.
Update: I just saw on Facebook that Molly Smith, famed revolver shooter, will be working at the Smith and Wesson booth. Molly's Facebook page is here, and her blog, The Molly Minute is here.
Cheaper Than Dirt is there, also Armed Candy, and Julie Golob. Also, The Firearm Blog.

Not My Victrola: A Special Treat By Vernon Dalhart...
...and shared with us by MusicBoxBoy. Vernon Dalhart has never been a favorite of mine, but that's because I don't like The Prisoner's Song and It Was Sad When The Great Ship Went Down. When I spotted The Big Rock Candy Mountain, though, I had to listen and I really like it. I am familiar with Tex Ritter performing this classic, but I had never heard Vernon Dalhart sing it. I think you will like it, too.
