I had the 45 single of <EM>Day Dream Believer</EM>, which I liked, but my wealthy big brother had <EM>Sgt Pepper</EM> (and <EM>Pet Sounds</EM>, whose disputation we'll leave for some other day). I liked The Monkees, but I used to lie under the old four-legged RCA record player for hours, listening to that Beatles record over and over. Even then I knew that those Monkees were not playing in the same league as the Beatles.<BR/><BR/>Years later, I managed a crew of office equipment technicians down in the benighted wilds of South Texas. We would leave our instruments in the bathroom all day, and set up in the "showroom" after everybody else had left in the evening (I had a key to the place). <BR/><BR/>We jammed our asses off in a strip center office for no other reason than the pure joy of it, but even in that monastic setting, Chicas Excitantes found their way into the scene - the cleaning ladies danced our groove to heights we never imagined. <BR/><BR/>I think I had some point to make with all this, but the joy of remembering has overcome that detail.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your gig.de Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483943410214502488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-1129661675924034422005-10-18T14:54:00.000-04:002005-10-18T14:54:00.000-04:00possibly off topic... or not , eh?hat tip to Bill ...possibly off topic... or not , eh?<BR/><BR/>hat tip to Bill in Portland, Maine <BR/><BR/>DUDE! to Dr. Pothead, Ph.D. Scientists are saying "Whoa!" over a new study---conducted on mice---that suggests chronic cannabis use may actually <A HREF="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051014.wxcanna1014/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/" REL="nofollow">grow neurons in the hippocampus,</A> where learning and memory take place.
