James Wayne "Jim" Stafford (born January 16, 1944) is an Americancomedian, musician, and singer-songwriter. While prominent in the 1970s for his records "Spiders and Snakes", "Swamp Witch", "Under The Scotsman's Kilt", "My Girl Bill", and "Wildwood Weed", Stafford has headlined at his own theater in Branson, Missouri, since 1990. Stafford is self-taught on guitar, fiddle, piano, banjo, organ and harmonica.
Stafford's first charthit was "Swamp Witch", produced by Lobo, which cracked the U.S. Top 40 in July 1973. On March 2, 1974 his biggest hit, "Spiders & Snakes", peaked at No.3 on the BillboardHot 100, selling over two million copies, earning a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. that month. Stafford continued to have moderate chart success through most of 1975.
Stafford means 'ford' by a 'staithe' (landing place). The original settlement was on dry sand and gravel peninsula that provided a strategic crossing point in the marshy valley of the River Sow, a tributary of the River Trent. There is still a large area of marshland northwest of the town, which has always been subject to flooding, such as in 1947, 2000 and 2007.
It is thought Stafford was founded in about 700 AD by a Mercian prince called Bertelin who, according to legend, established a hermitage on the peninsula named Betheney or Bethnei. Until recently it was thought that the remains of a wooden preaching cross from this time had been found under the remains of St Bertelin's chapel, next to the later collegiate Church of St Mary in the centre of the town. Recent re-examination of the evidence shows this was a misinterpretation – it was a tree trunk coffin placed centrally in the first, timber, chapel at around the time Æthelflæd founded the burh, in 913 AD. The tree trunk coffin may have been placed there as an object of commemoration or veneration of St Bertelin.
List of Major League Baseball players with unidentified given names
Forty-one individuals who played professional baseball at the major league level lack identified given names. Identification of players remains difficult due to a lack of information; a Brooklyn, New York directory, for instance, lists more than 30 men that could be the professional player "Stoddard". Possible mistakes in reading box scores from the 19th century could have also led to players without given names: "Eland", for example, could be another player from the Baltimore Marylands roster whose name was simply misread. Four of the 41, McBride, Stafford, Sterling, and Sweigert, were local players added to the Philadelphia Athletics team by manager Bill Sharsig for Philadelphia's last game of the season against the Syracuse Stars on October 12, 1890. Sterling pitched five innings for the Athletics and conceded 12 runs. McBride, Philadelphia's center fielder, and Stafford, the team's right fielder, both failed to reach base, but left fielder Sweigert reached base on a walk and stole a base. Society for American Baseball Research writer Bill Carle "doubt[s] we will ever be able to identify them".
Stafford Prison was built on its current site in 1793, and has been in almost continuous use, save a period between 1916 and 1939. It held Irish Internees taken by the British after the 1916 Easter Rising from May. They were released Christmas 1916.
Among its earlier prisoners was George Smith who served several sentences for theft there but began his later work as a hangman while a prisoner, assisting William Calcraft. He officiated at several executions in the prison later in his life, notably that of poisoner William Palmer in 1866.
In November 1998, an inspection report from Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons heavily criticised security at Stafford Prison, after it emerged that inmates were being supplied with drugs flown in on paper planes. Inmates were fashioning strips of paper into planes, then attaching lines to them and flying them over the 19-foot (5.8-metre) perimeter wall. The lines were then used to pull packages containing drugs and other banned substances back over the wall. The prison was also criticised for being overcrowded, under-resourced, and failing to prepare prisoners for release.
"Allegany County Transit is excited about moving into the area of automated scheduling and feels that this is a major step for our county to provide swift and efficient service to better serve our customers. After careful research by Harford and Allegany County, we feel that RouteMatch will help us accomplish our goals in automated demand-response scheduling."
"This has been a traumatic experience and it is not going to go away overnight."
"Our kids competed hard. They just had a tremendous size advantage on us. They were a lot bigger than us at every position."
"We shot it exceptionally well the first half. We made some 3-pointers off the break and kind of got the game going our way."
"(Trumbo) played a good solid game defensively and got some key rebounds. He's one of the better players that I saw play in this tournament, and there were some awfully good players playing."
"We'll miss some shots, but that won't change our kids' way of playing. Our kids play with a lot of confidence, and I have a lot of confidence in them to let them shoot as many 3-pointers as they do."
"It was a great atmosphere to play in. Both crowds were real active and both teams play exceptionally hard. We just made some plays right before halftime and every time they made a run at us we'd answer."
"We expect to shoot free throws well. Our kids are good shooters and we expect them to be able to make them from the line."
"It was a hard fought game and we feel very fortunate to win."

Jim Stafford with flashes of his brilliance on the very difficult Malaguena. At age 73 most of us would have trouble putting a phonograph needle on a record player, myself included. Jim stated that Roy Clark is one of his heroes. I concur. Along with the late great Glen Campbell, can you find a greater trio of Southern pickers? Full disclosure: I love Jim Stafford. One of the finest and most talented artists in America. I drove 16 hours to catch two of his last shows this year. I would do it again. Thanks Jim!

Playoff Time
PLAYOFFS??? PLAYOFFS??? YES, PLAYOFFS!!! Rams are headed to Detroit as Stafford faces his old team where he spent his formative years (what a coincidence!) after beating the 49ers (who cares!) LOL. The Niners already clinched the #1 seed and rest with a Bye during Wild Card weekend. The Falcons are done for as Arthur Smith went OFF against Dennis Allen and solidified his termination as head coach. Philly becomes the first team to end season 1-5 after starting 10-1! We got so much to get into because it’s NFL PLAYOFFS BABY! P.S. Draymond Green is back! And you already know how we get down … so TAP IN!!!

Jim Stafford Boogie Woogie Guitar Tribute to Pinetop Perkins
On his Oct. 2019 Branson show Jim played boogie woogie on guitar. He explained how in his youth he once performed with Muddy Waters and Pinetop Perkins in Washington DC. Pinetop was his inspiration in the boogie woogie style. Jim's talent and skill is on display in this number. You must see him in Branson. He alone is worth the trip. Twice I drove 17 hours just to see him. My wife came this time and loved it.

James Wayne "Jim" Stafford (born January 16, 1944) is an Americancomedian, musician, and singer-songwriter. While prominent in the 1970s for his records "Spiders and Snakes", "Swamp Witch", "Under The Scotsman's Kilt", "My Girl Bill", and "Wildwood Weed", Stafford has headlined at his own theater in Branson, Missouri, since 1990. Stafford is self-taught on guitar, fiddle, piano, banjo, organ and harmonica.
Stafford's first charthit was "Swamp Witch", produced by Lobo, which cracked the U.S. Top 40 in July 1973. On March 2, 1974 his biggest hit, "Spiders & Snakes", peaked at No.3 on the BillboardHot 100, selling over two million copies, earning a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. that month. Stafford continued to have moderate chart success through most of 1975.
Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm And we never knowed what it was called Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed I didn't give it much thought One day I was out there talkin' to my brother And I reached down for a weed to chew on Things got fuzzy and things got blurry And then ev'rything was gone Didn't know what happened but I knew it beat the hell Out of sniffing burlap I come to and my brother was there and he said, "What's wrong with your eyes?" I said "I don't know, I was chewin' on the weed" He said, "Let me give it a try" We spent the rest of that day and most of that night tryin' To find my brother Bill Caught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin' Naked, singing on the windmill He said he flew up there I had to fly up and get him down He was about half crazy The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds And put 'em in the sun to dry Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off Put 'em in the corn cob pot Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit We never seen no harm We thought it was kind-a handy Take a trip and never leave the farm Big 'ole puff of that wildwood weed next thing you know You're just wand'ring 'round behind the little animals All good things got to come to an end It's the same with the wildwood weeds One day this feller from Washington come by And spied one and turned white as a sheet And they dug and they burned And they burned and they dug and they killed All our cute little weeds and then they drove away We just smiled and waved sittin' ther on that sack o' seeds
