    Since the animal who kissed the toad/frog was a pig, was she a wart hog?

    -------

    InstrEd - for 12 years running we are gigging at a marina once a week during lunch time. Across from us is a bridge. (See picture below - it's way in the background). It's a weekday and attracts a retirement crowd, but on days when there is no school, groups of kids walk up there and jump off into the water then swim to shore and do it all over again (until police come and stop them).

    This answers the age-old question your mother asked you, "If your friends jump off a bridge, would you jump too?" From my observation the answer is "Yes"

    I paid my dues in bars, 6 nights a week, and Thursday's were always slow. The day before payday I guess. Two salesmen who would rather watch a ball game on TV.

    No matter how many people are in our audience, we do our best. It's the only way we know.

    I don't play 6 night gigs anymore. When I was young, and old time told me that once you star playing yacht clubs, country clubs, and retirement developments, you never want to go back to the bars. He was right. I can make in 2 nights what I used to make in 6. Of course I have to set up and tear down every night, but that's fine with me. I need the exercise (or so I tell myself).

    The closest thing we have to a night club now is a marina. One day a week during lunchtime, and in October it marks the start of our 12th year. http://www.s-cats.com

    And I also write aftermarket products for Band-in-a-Box at http://www.nortonmusic.com

    Making a living and having fun while I do it. Life is good.

    Thanks for the YouTube tip, I'll give it a try (I use Firefox for a browser - hope it works with this).

    BTW I LOVE "Dazed & Confused"

    Gotta follow that with:

    "Love Or Confusion" - Jimi Hendrix

    https://youtu.be/tIuf_SPvX-Y

    I clicked the "share" button, pasted it above and sadly it didn't work. Perhaps it doesn't like Firefox

    But I copied the YouTube link ( like I did in Mahogany) and it works here. I think it's love AND confusion ;)

    Berry Gordy left Detroit and went to LA to try his hand at movie making, this was his second attempt.

    When the band I was in was being courted by Motown (in Detroit) I met him but thought his name was Barry instead of Berry.

    Too two tries to get a YouTube to emebed

    "Blue Rondo A La Turk - Dave Brubeck Quarted

    The first 9/8 jazz song I ever heard and IMHO one of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's best songs (Paul Desmond is my all-time favorite alto sax player)
