and the adults just doing their thing- " gee lookie"
kind of thing, I dont want them to care for my kids or my pets !! sorry, get the pets out away from the gators
and for goodness sake- watch the KIDS!
I'm from Florida, in the middle where the swamps are.
Alligators are very common here... VERY common. It's not unusual to see them every day.
While gators are very powerful, fast, and can be aggressive and dangerous, most are just lazily resting, and have no quarrel with people.
The danger comes from people feeding them. They begin to associate people with food.
Dogs are fair game though... gators like them some little dogs.
It's not the cats, its the parents allowing the kids to get closer and closer to the gators that concerns me.

But ok, that "That's All Right" song is VERY Rock'n'roll.
Whaaa? 1946? That's just a bizarre thing to say for a song recorded so late in the history of recorded guitar solos. Roy Smeck, Eddie Lang, and other early jazz guys were recording solo breaks way, way, way before that, as were blues guys like Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Since Rock and Roll is one of those loose terms where there will never be final agreement on the definition, it's just semantics what the first Rock and Roll song is.
Crudup's "That's Alright Mama" was an up-tempo Delta Blues song. (Rockabilly had not arrived on the scene in '47).
Elvis' version (1954) was Rock & Roll, but it was predated on the Billboard charts by Bill Haley's "Crazy Man Crazy" (1953 #12).
More likely candidates include "Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston & The Delta Cats. (Ike Turner wrote the song and was lead musician with Jackie on sax and vocal. Sam Phillips produced the session.)
Also, there's a strong case to me made for the even earlier (1947) "Good Rockin' Tonight" by Wynonie Harris.
But, in reality, Rock & Roll was an evolutionary process rather than a revolutionary process, so there is always room for debate over the first line crosser.
And finally, Farrier's definition of Rock and Roll left out it's most common useage: Negro slang for having sex.
