Back from a good meeting and two slices of Dino's great pizza (I was a good boy and didn't do three) plus a small piece of cherry pie that was given to me today as a gift - I brought it to the meeting so I wouldn't be tempted to eat it all tonight.

If that were me being a good boy, it would mean I didn't do eight.

She must have been channeling Elmore


Or perhaps all of this time, Elmore has been channeling her!

TCB  how are your ribs?

And are they anything close to what you can get in the South?


Well, they will be making an appearance in John's book.

And the Man from Philadelphia continues to irritate me. If he'd simply pull his head out of his ass . . .



;)

That's him.

Ah, an Ogden Nash reference!


You know the feeling when the Man from Philadelphia
Sticks his head up his arse
That's him. That's him.

John G  Vibes for your parents --- will their car  be repaired or has it been totaled?


Thank you, all, for the vibes and wishes. I'll report back after I talk with them tomorrow. Don't know the status of the car, but it was about 15-20 years old, yet didn't have many miles on it and was in great condition. That said, if it's totaled, the book value will be nil. I don't think they'd ever thought they'd have to get a new car again.

I hope you not only see the concert but that she doesn't disappoint.

Well, the concert went on without a hitch (as far as I could tell) and Joan didn't disappoint.  When we volunteers got there, we were told that her show would be about an hour and 45 minutes, but she ended up only singing for about an hour and 15 minutes without a break.  Given that she had to cancel three concerts very recently, that makes sense.

Anyway, you could hear a little raspiness in her voice, but she still sounded pretty good.  She had three other people accompanying her (I didn't get a copy of the program, so I don't remember their names), but one guy played guitar, mandolin, banjo and a couple of other assorted guitar-like instruments.  The other guy was her percussionist (he didn't play a drum kit, he mainly played several cymbals and the wooden crate/box that he was sitting on).  The third person was her assistant.  I think her name was Grace.  She just sang back-up on several of Joan's songs and has a lovely voice.

Joan also had a couple of guests who work at Teatro ZinZanni in Seattle...an accordion player and another guy who did a little balloon magic.  It was a wonderful concert and the audience (completely filled...almost 1000 seats!) LOVED it.  There were a couple of standing ovations during the show.  Definitely not a disappointment. :D
