"It Ain't the Meat (It's the Motion)" - Swallows

She would be fine, and we had our days at nude beaches when we were younger. However, there is an unwritten rule at nude beaches around here, not to point anything out. We don't go to the beach much anymore, too busy doing other things that are also enjoyable. We played at a nudist 'camp' (it was actually a mobile home and RV park) for quite a few years, until a hurricane came and destroyed the clubhouse. Neither Mrs. Notes nor I had a problem with that. Mrs. Notes has no problem with me looking at pretty girls, she knows I think that she is beautiful, and she knows I have no intention of being unfaithful. Before marriage, when I was gigging in singles clubs and later on the road, there were babes-a-plenty, and I hope they all look back on the experience as fondly as I do. But right now, as pretty as those flaunting their youth are, I wouldn't take the chance even if it was offered. I'm sure she appreciates looking at young, fit men, but I don't point them out to her.

Midnight Train To Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips

We're working up the Elle King song for a regular audience member, closer to the original, but I like this version a lot too. Ex's & Oh's - Elle King song covered by PMJ and for reference, the original

^^^ Is this a sign of inflation?

Yes, all the cute young waitresses treat me like a friendly uncle. (Not that kind of friendly, either) The bikini babes that come through don't give me a second look (or actually a first one). I had my days in a road band, playing singles bars, and eventually opening concerts for major stars. It was fun but I'm very comfortable and happy with Mrs. Notes. So when the bikini babes walk by, flaunting their youth, they are pleasant to look at, but there is no way anything more than a glance by me is going to happen. On the other hand, I get to play music for a living, the audience is having fun, I'm having fun with both the audience and Mrs. Notes, the scenery is beautiful, and after 3 hours of fun, we go home with money in our pockets. Life is the perfect way to spend the time of day. Notes ♫

If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me) - Bellamy Brothers

I especially like the polyrhythms.

Two lame music cartoons for the price of one!!!

Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu - Huey 'Piano" Smith and the Clowns (The original version)

You did have to point that out, didn't you :D

We do two afternoons and one morning per week in an outdoor restaurant/bar on the public beach. I love it when the bikini babes come in. Mrs. Notes, my duo partner will even point them out to me (she is very secure). Notes ♫

Save the Bones for Henry Jones ('Cause Henry Don't Eat No Meat) - Johnny Mercer and the King Cole Trio

Wishing You Were Here - Chicago

I remember the days when I used to do two gigs in one day. That's when I was greedier than I was sane We have a lot of gear to haul, that's the problem. 1 Sax, 2 wind synths, 2 guitars, tactile MIDI controller, 4 synth modules, 3 computers, 2 almost 40 pound powered speakers, and plenty of stands, pedals, and other accessories. It's not the giging, it's the setup and tear down. There was a guy who played before us before they shuffled things around that brought a Bose Speaker, microphone and two flat-top electric guitars. If I could play guitar as well as I play sax, I might go that route. Then I could do 2 gigs a day. Insights and incites by Notes ♫

OK, which is it?

I Wish - Stevie Wonder

Caucasian Sketches - (full album) Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov. I have the CD, not listening on UTube. It's nice background while I work, except if often gets distracting, but that a good thing.

Working In The Coal Mine - Lee Dorsey

Great advice!
