Don S and I are not very far behind you, G-Daddy. I'm too busy to check out or exit, stage left at the moment. You sound to be full of vinegar yet. More power to us.

The joy of making music at the closing curtain is something that I am indebted to Dr Peter for that I will never hope to repay. Thanks so much Dr. Gannon and crew.

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys!!

I Never thought I live near this long with over 20 years as a 4-time married musician and "Stock Jockey"


The first...pure Cherokke...good with long-knife or tomahawk!!

The second, a "double for Ally McGraw", who ran away with a black man, a couple years later...met him at night school!!

The third, the official Bunny Mother at the Chicago Playboy Club...smart...bosomy broad prone to titty fits..bad bra size!

The fourth, just the 30 year-widow from the co-head of Chicago's Mafioso!e! We met and married on Maui
Glad I still have fingers to type with..also my dexterity in them! I remember getting side-swiped by big black Eldorados!!


So on my birthday, guys...Today, I have made it past noon, made my breakfast on a Geo Forman hamburger maker outsido my RV, and I plan on cooking a Pressure Cooker Pork Roast outside also..."later, when I'm 'straighter", as we used to "sign-off", after my gigs.
Thank God for Dogs...I havie my 11 year old Cairne Terrior "Tiger" and my 2 year old Maltese/Parson Russel Mix to keep me on the straight and narrow. Florida weather has been rainy but much warmer...so I can leave the many windows open with the roof vents, too...even though I park in the open...rather than park under these massive oaks in Lecanto Hill, Fl., my birthday DAY is very sunny...heading towards 80 degrees soon!
