Celebrated my Mom's 75th birthday yesterday with a trip to a Benihana-style Japanese steakhouse--Fuji in Traverse City, Michigan. She had never been to anything like this before. She loves noise and commotion, and didn't want to leave after we had finished dining!
There's a good chance we established a new birthday tradition for Mom...whom I believe has a very good shot at becoming a centenarian!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Not sure if i can speak for anyone ever...bloke wrote:Has anyone ever read General Chatterley's Lover?
I guess i've read those words now, but not anything they may refer to.

If this Pan Am 'bone is anything like the satin-silver Wurlitzer stencil I once sampled...bloke wrote:Nonsense aside, I REALLY need to overhaul this crappy/worthless Pan American p.o.s. satin-silver trombone (which has been sitting here) for a friend, so I can FINALLY send that trombone and your COOL mouthpiece off to be re-plated together (avoiding individual handling charges).
...I can only hope it's being conserved for a collection, and nobody ever intends to actually play it.
A nasty East German or Chinese trombone would be an upgrade.

I was in a parade this weekend that tried to start early to avoid inclement weather.
Such a novel change of pace.

My Easter gig this year is all trombone 2 parts. Don’t even need a trigger. I’ll just take a peashooter tenor. Sad times.

On my way to my chiropractor, but I am feeling lucky. In an attempt to roll the topic page to 500, I am posting this. Maybe I'll be lucky!
