[Rhodes22-list] Mississippi River

[Tootle]

Slim:

I am at it again!  Now the music on when you go to that web site you posted
is good, and tell me it the guy has an album on cd, you are the wrong
color...

But since you are musically talented, maybe you just can do that gig...

Speaking of talent, if you cleaned up your act, and made a contemporary
redition of that type music, just think, you might get on the public
airways, or heaven forbid on that satellite radio.  Some of the greatest
muscians did not make it until they were over the hill.  

Sober up, look up and aspire, it is not over until the fat lady sings...

Quote of the day:  “Every great advancement in science has issued from a new
audacity of imagination.”
Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, now modified for Slim: “Every great
achievement in music has issued from a new audacity of imagination.” see:
