UPDATE:

I'm posting on the Internet a picture of an accordion because I cannot do that while not on the Internet.

At least she didn't request to hold the horn. I've had that one, too. :shock:

Many years ago, while playing a gig for rich yankees at a posh southern resort, a little old lady grabbed my slide and wouldn't give it back. She actually hooked my outer slide and took it back to the dance floor while I was playing it. I finally got it back, and her response was, "I just had to have it. It slides in and out so easily." I felt fortunate to get it away from her without damage to it or me.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Hmm. Interesting response.

Agreed. My first name is a fairly common word that is both a noun and verb, yet the iPhone insists on 'correcting' my name to a fairly common word that is both a noun and verb but no one's name.

Skipped a rehearsal with the Owensboro Community Band this afternoon to prepare and file my Federal and State Taxes. It was a success and a refund is forthcoming. Yippee! :tuba:

Mowed the lawn for the first time today and while doing so saw a guy deliver a Pizza in a CHERRY Mercedes 380SL. Only in Vegas.

Spent the better part of the weekend installing a keyless entry/remote starter/immobilizer bypass on my wife's 10 year old Civic. What prompted this was that her door lock cylinder started jamming up due to a bent wafer inside.
Next time, I will just replace the lock cylinder!

Came across some OLD pictures. During the month of March in 1979, gas hit $1/gallon in Syracuse NY. The old Kodak B/W print has the month and date stamped on the side of the picture of me standing next to my Mom's VW 412 Wagon in front of the pricing sign giving Mobil the Universal One Finger Salute. Man, have I gone gray.

From the bent of the last few posts. I'd say some of you were fronline fighters in the war on women. Shame on you!
