Dan's Latest Interactions
That we have the opportunity to say good bye is fortunate.
Our Class reunion website allows us this privilege.
A peaceful sound of tranquility with music helps us reflect.
"The Swan" (Le Cygne)
Happy Birthday again.
"Over the Waves"
Enjoy Trombone solo at 5:16 minute mark.... leading in to Conal Fowkes piano ... oh, so in the groove..
Set your Clock, You won't miss your Birthday.
Why was the "Clock" invented.
To prove Man wasn't late!!
Adam Swanson's LIVE performance on YouTube tonight- Sunday will be
"Revival Ragtime"
8 pm Eastern time
(available anytime following )
Share to help.
His Birthday is March 16.
Just like to share some thoughts to Ponder (??)
If Heaven is "Just a Sin away", why are so many politicians still around ? (!!)
A video to refresh ...
Enjoy "My Blue Heaven".... my Dad's favorite tune...
Here with a fresh performance by Conal Fowkes.
Compare to Fats Domino rendition.
And "Twilight Time" never seemed so appropriate.
Reflections of our life will never end. As we pass to a new wave length, The music can still be heard.
Beautiful music never fades away because it expresses our inner feelings.
We instill in others by actions....
Watching is the best teacher.
Salute to all who observed you in Life.... for now they carry your your gifts of sharing.
Reflect and enjoy ...
"The Blue Danube"
Happy Birthday
(battery low so had to be quick )
Happy B i r t h d a y.... stretch them out more and you live longer ! (??)
Play the odds and become a winner.
Listen to Adam Swanson perform his latest Sunday night live on YouTube
A superb performance.
Places to go, things to do, and build something that will last.... have pylons will ship !
If anyone asks: Have you lost your sense of taste?"
Reply:
"No, I dress like this all the time !"
Humor helps the breathing.
About raising minimum wage to $15/hour.
Great !
Stock up on "Goldfish" and Sambazon ACAI juice
AT COSTCO
Happy Birthday... Getting Vaccine is so much fun...
Got them to ask me if I had lost my "sense of taste". Four different times Just so I could reply:
"No, I dress this way all the time !"
http://radio.garden/
This link will allow listening to ANY radio station on planet Earth.... instantly
We all need to be alert and cognizant !
Savoir Faire
(French- meaning the ability to know the right thing to say in any situation)
So when you go for your Vaccine shot, and they ask if you have lost your
"sense of taste" ?
You calmly reply:
"No, I dress this way all the time!"
Smile Darn You,
Smile ?
You will test your breathing with humor.
Salute
Enjoy latest LIVE - Adam Swanspn piano. Ragtime
Have hospital beds that haven't been used in months.
inquire for interest/details.
all on wheels, two ae electric.
SO !
Only "19" responses....
The curve/incentive to respond would be skewed by those who
"have" received vaccine.
Get back to me when respondents reach more members...
The vaccine is made by same company that makes Viagra... so on Facebook folks figure that anyone that "can raise the dead canhelp the living!"
Go Figure (??)!
"Champagne is not for quitters!"
George Jefferson
Drink up!
.
Focus on more Humor... it is needed.
Theme music here is:
"Smile Darn you Sme"
The "Great Spirit" is trying to tell me something !
Nothing like being a trend-setter (??) Not !
There is a reason no one has a monoply on Stupid !
Whom might you most like to Hug before Sundown Today.?
"Twilight Time" is upon us (?)
Relish the music we recalled 1955
Memories are made of this.!
Billy Joel has been a great spokesperson for a generation we share.
Happy Birthday ..... they get better every year.... sorta like pie... never had one I didn't like!
Humor helps more when shared .... more the merrier.
You can enjoy a live concert by Adsm Swandon every Sunday at 7 pm Eastern time.
or find on YouTube as well.
Social distancing won't last but so long so
practice your dancing on way to mail box.....
Be prepared...your stimulus check could arrive soon(?)
I was in process of composing a nice message in relation to Gary Parks and it disappeared.
Sorry, maybe I will be able to reconstruct it again.
Just know I tried to give Gary his due amount of attention.
The sound track of the movie
"The Sting" has the music to express all our feelings in life of a person we so admired..
So let ot be with Gary Parks.
Salute
The best thing we leave or have in the end is our memories. Certainly everyone who has know Gary Parks has I recall the Caliente car he had. The Ashley Band concerts and contests were highlights. But oh, the stories he could tell: Like when at Myrtle Beach a cop stopped him, and when the officer walked up to his window he said: "I'll have two hamburgers and a milkshake !". Gees, it's hard to stifle enthusiasm !
I remember his Trumpet playing of "Buggler's Holiday".

Hope this unique film about wildlife and especially the Cheetah will be enjoyed.
The Cheetah Consrvation Fund is a very worthy
"Random Act of Kindness"
Share the intimate views of animals in their natural landscape.
In the quest of wisdom, a fundamental lesson is to recognize that no one has a monopoly on
"Stupid".
"In the absence of truth things become what others want them to be."
James Burke
"The Nature of Things" &
"Connections"
Thinking music helps...
Adam Swanson is a fine example.
Hold my "Thinking Water" there is work to do in 2021
Missed the Video of "Bob Barbara Ann"
by Beach Boys.
Happy Birthday ... I should think your focus is dealing with those inquisitive "Grandchildren"
Now we know they can be difficult to impress.... I have an answer for you... albeit repetition ...
Remember James Burke
"Connectiions"
and
"The Nature of Things"
It will spark their imagination and look at you in Awe ??)!
Being a "trendsetter" is so awesome and could earn you a hug.....
Humor is best.... explain what "coming thru the back door" means:
Example: Instead of ssying
"Up sh_!t creek without a paddle"
you explore: " up an acute tributary without means of locamotion",,,,,as my economics professor said once.
There was this long pause and then a laughter with astonishment!
Makes you feel warm all over.(??)
"Like the Dawning of Aquarius"
You might imagine that I have my vitamins "just right" today (??)!
What is my source of motivation(?) you ask :
"Thinking Water"
Since age 18 I found That Jacque Daniel's Thinking Water brought out my inner imagination..
Now Vitamin B-6 and Eliquis brings everything into focus.
Keep Looking up.... people will think you are onto something.
And when you get a call from "unknown caller,",
You answer in a low voice:
"I't's done, but there's Blood Everywhere !"
.....
.... What you want me to do with the Body"
Thrust me; you'll sleep better giggling.
