[Rhodes22-list] Hey Slim!

[salm at mn.rr.com]

Brad,
A few of us were sitting around last night after the gig and I read your
post aloud and we all howled.  Thank you.  It 
seems that most of those are taylor-made for Indiana.  8-)

The other night in Indy I got up on stage and introduced myself by saying,
"Hi, my name is Steve and I'm from the 
other apolis."  -Dead silence.
I said, "C'mon people, work with me...the other apolis."  More silence.  
Finally, a guy in front with at least half his teeth said, "I know,
Mindianapolis!"  Most of the rest in the room nodded 
in agreement.

Slim
