Geez Daddy, same life diff place lol.

I once had a woman in a hotel bar I was playing (a Fancy Holiday Inn when they were truly fancy about '70, who started buying me fruit drinks. After the 4th there were 2 pianos. I had to stop playing, turns out she was feeding me double zombies. The deal with that place was (Thunder Bay) it took 6 hours drive to get there. Got off work Friday at 2, drove back Sunday at Supper. Play 2 nights, free meals for the 4 of us, free rooms, and tips. I did it once a month in the winter time for 2 years. At -45 the whirlpool, swimming pool and sauna made it seem like Florida.

The women trying to pick me up meant the wife put the kids to sleep and checked on me or sat there. She never drank much, and I got freebies.

I made $100 on an average weekend, enough to pay the gas.

I too went home from a bar with a dream woman. I get in the door and there's a pair of size 14 slippers. I ask who's the are she says 'ex boyfriend'. I ask 'how ex?' She says, '3 days.' hmm..'what's he do'. ...."local cop." 'he have keys?' "yes", ..

So I said "look a guy with a gun, a set of keys and he didn't break it off...I think you look great in heels despite being six one, and you are a lovely. But my Mom raised no fools...Bye."

They got back together, I see her now and then..her favorite line is ..."I think you missed on heck of a test drive with a really pee-d off woman. " Hm....

There was this one time at band camp NO NO NO..
