I will say that tuba is unquestionably the best choice among brass instruments for any basset to take up. Biggest mouthpiece in the room to accommodate those big, slobbery basset lips.
Rick Nelson’s Garden Party is very interesting. I never knew the he had written it. Nelson is coming of age as a folk artist, with his own music, at this time. Dealing with those who wanted him to be a teeny bopper forever. I have increased respect for him now!
Yes… the story I remember was that, though he was still a young man, the “British invasion” had lessened demand for his type of music.
…
While already working on updating his style, with a new band… I think that was the Stone Ponies… he played a big oldies show with other 50’s and early 60’s stars, performing their pre-Beatles hits.
He did some of his teen heartthrob hits, but then was booed when he started playing his newer material.
…
“Garden Party” voices his resentment at not being allowed to change…
he was even called “unrecognizable” when he didn’t play his well known tunes, or stick to his teenage persona.
One instrument after another… one note, no notes…. in this case a giant quarter note and it almost bursts her lungs.
I think it’s because she bought those expensive low-heeled leather concert pumps.
She hardly ever wears any shoes… so she’s not giving up ill they get sufficient use.
…
But she must depend on her comic strip and movie stardom to attract a new audience to every concert.
She always walks out to thunderous applause, as the featured soloist… her rapturous fans expecting to see and hear her succeed in yet another display of her varied talents.
…
Anyone who had attended one of her previous concerts would be laughing, booing or maybe running away.
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin,
orange juice and sugar. Shake well. Strain into a cocktail
glass. Garnish with the orange slice.

Cleo ~ the one note wonder. Play it again, Cleo! Encore!
Cleo had tuba constipation! Finally she got that FOOMP note out. I’m glad I was not close by.

My guess is that someone is being neglected. 😀
Or wants you to believe she is,
Just like you’re supposed to buy her act about never getting fed, petted or walked….
never mind what you remember doing 15 minutes ago.
ohhhh yeah
A cat would have put a mouse or bird in there. – Not necessarily thoroughly killed to teach you (lovingly) how to hunt it down.
Rest assured that the dog will not be bothered in the least by the coffee -covered ball. So just throw it!

I had to magnify it, but I got it!
That’s what I got.
Me too.
Me three!
Thanks for the puzzler, nighthawks!

This was a hard puzzle!

I liked everything he recorded. Although, we could dance to the bebop hits easier. Garden Party was easier to ‘listen’ to.
From about 1:08:30 (but the whole video is worth watching!)
Danny Kaye is always great! And the bug is pretty cool.
I’ve seen that Bug. Or one very much like it. In Nevada.
Ew. Call Arnie. – Or the MiB.
John Belushi would only accomplish to crash on your couch.
Wow… Cleo never gives up, does she?

No; thank you – “Relives”…

A couple of very cool customers. Highly apropos since we are at 90+ degrees today and forecast to remain so till Thursday.
Cool, Man.
I still like them on the side of a good steak!
I just don’t like the “Relives sore throats and coughing symptoms” part…
You are allergic? Or am i thinking of someone else?
To typos or wrong grammar? – It’s more of an intolerance sometimes. But not worth quarreling about.
Keeps me awake all night with indigestion. I’ll pass.
It would be a real shame if either of those cakes melted before being eaten. Deal me a slice, Riff-Raff.
Lord Splendid Humility?!?
Gosh, Cleo is so colorful. Especially her face.
Good morning, Cleo Phanatics!
Glad Cleo got the tuba re-bent. That straight one would’ve never been able to handle this note. Wish I had half that much air. Oh wait. I do.

the orange blossom special
I love the old steam engines! Check out the ‘elephant ears’ on the first one.
Here’s how it’s supposed to sound 😉
Yep, I like this version much better.

Elwood: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.

I forgot those guys!
Cleo orders this special before she goes on stage.
She claims it helps settle her stage fright.
