UPDATE:

This is a picture of a bottle of root beer. The root beer was produced by Barqs. The root beer contains 270 calories per serving. The root beer is low sodium. The root beer is packaged in a plastic bottle. The root beer is artificially flavored.

It is delicious. I want you to know that.

Barq's has caffeine in it. I can't do caffeine. :twisted: Mug and A&W are caffeine free, along with some of the more expensive variants. Roy Rogers used to have birch beer, which was tasty as well.

RC Cola and a Moon Pie. My favorite meal as a kid. Cost a nickel each. We pronounced it "Aura O See Cola" in South Arkansas. I guess they still do. When you get old you remember stuff like that.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Barq's diet is good, it isn't Octoberfest time yet, and I'd rather have a mohawk than a mullett. Now THAT's trailer trash, right along with the El Camino.

Back from the Midsummer Musical Retreat hosted at Whitman College in Walla Walla Washington. It was good to get plugged into the music scene in the Northwest. I was privileged to work with David Bryan - Trombone and Ryan Schultz - Tuba. Great guys and great teachers and I enjoyed playing great music.

Yes, and apparently if your tuba needs some kind of intonation adjustment while playing, your are an idiot for owning it.
