Well here I go with another hodge -podge of a post
...First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAYZZZ to Steve (who was in
Chicago and didn*t even call for a free birthday
drink!), to Marian, to Bob Smurfy Muller, Heather and
Janet. A belated wish to Mary Pitassi who I am
dammned glad is okay as I got worried there for a bit,
since we hadn*t heard from you in awhile.
As if we need one more chiming in on this issue but
I just have to say how cruel it was here to make the
now often mention comment about *martini drinkers,*
aimed at Kakki. ...First of all I think
ideaologically speaking, Kakki and I are very
different, but our goal is the same. Her posts are
again compassionate and not filled with rhetoric but
are fact based and/or spiritually supportive.
Secondly, I drink vodka martinis. however Kakki made
me one helluva gin martini, I would like to know if
the post favors one or the other!? My thinking is, if
any two people who make or drink martinis - one a gin
person - the other a vodka and can get along in this
world, then there is still hope for all of us!
Now on to other important matters ... My first 45
was - Ferry Cross the Mercie (spelling) by Jerry and
the Pacemakers or whatever! My first album was either
*Meet the Beatles or Dave Clark Five's Glad All Over.
It*s kind of a blurr. Now I have my Mother to blame
,,, I mean thank for many things, one being music at
an early age. I grew up with Johnny Mathis/Chances
Are & Patsy Cline/Crazy. I can remember playing them
over and over again, hanging over the console stereo
watching the record go round and round and ...
Unfortunately, when I tried to bring music to my
mother she almost always hated it. ESPECIALLY - Joni.
But for the most part those two artist taught me to
sing. When I preformed for the first time in public
around 12 years ago I sang Patsy (granted Willie
Nelson wrote the song), and it kind of became my (like
I am even worthy of the term) signature song around
the piano bars and women*s bars where I used to sing
on occasion.
That's all for now - sorry my spell check does not
appear to be working!
Peace!
