I'm not on the road. I'm busy with Spring cleaning. It's no fun, but when I'm on a break I have some time to sit and edit some of the data I collected from last weekend's Channing Murray reunion. So here is a highlight clip:

On Saturday Albert Melshenker sang a new song dedicated to his wife and the families of service men and women. He has a son serving in Afghanistan.

Michael Powers, drummer from the Finchley Boys:

Who are these guys?

You know reunions... I haven't seen most of these people for nearly 40 years! Who ARE they?

PUSH BUTT AND RELEASE

THE RED HERRING CHANNING MURRAY REUNION


I took a short trip into the past this weekend to see some old friends down at a coffee house in Urbana Illinois. There were people I haven't seen in more than 30 years. A lot of them were musicians, and they had a concert that started at 1:00 pm and went on until maybe 2:00 am then next morning (if you count both upstairs and downstairs performances.
I've got about three hours of video highlights. I'll try to post some edited stuff when I get some time.
Anyhow, today's post is about some jokes that do not need to be repeated. At the coffeehouse, a performance of the group called 'The Ship' incuded some commentary by Mr. Steve 'Albert' Melshenker. He was concerned about how some jokes only needed to be told one time; They are funny the first time you hear them, but then it's really not nessesary to ever tell them again. He then asked the audience if the following joke fit this category:

A man walks into a therapist's with just Saran Wrap around his waist. The therapist says, "I can clearly see you're nuts".

People in the audience laughed at this joke, but agreed that it did not have to be told again.




On the way home, I stopped to use the Mc D's facilities and was reminded of such humor that I've seen countless times in vandalized washrooms. Press Butt. Funny if you are eight years old. Then I saw BABY HANGING STATION; Ha! It was funny the first time! I get it.

Now what?!

Our house is still standing and the cat was happy to see us, but a bit angry at us for leaving her for four weeks. She kept on making this weird WROOOOOOOLLL ! sound that was completely new to us. I'm guessing it meant " YOU &*^$(#$*#, DON'T EVER LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN IN THIS #%$%#$@@ HOUSE !!! I will try to record it and post her ranting.
What's new? -- Our neighbors to the South have a for sale sign on their property and our neighbors to the North have an Iraqi family living in their basement. I'll try to get some more details this weekend.
I hosted my monthly drum circle tonight and it was fun. I had a small group of six drummers, and they were right on!
