    Bees

    I would like to thank you again. You are a wonderful teacher. I was also wondering if this is what you actually did at some point in your life.

    Who was that masked man....

    ....and what does this silver bullet mean?

    Here's the classic Lone Ranger theme for those that love it. Several episodes of the series (some with Clayton Moore's replacement, Johhn Hart) are available...

        If Stuart Sutcliffe (the original bass player) was the fifth Beatle, then I would probably be considered the 10 to the 1,000th power Beatle...7 times removed.

        I was the piano player for the Bees Knees, who once opened for Carl Perkins at the Union Bar in North Minneapolis. Carl liked our band, as we were a jump blues band trying to sound like early rock and roll before it was called rock and roll. Carl Perkins wrote Blue Swede Shoes, a song more popularized by Elvis Presley, an artist the Beatles admired and respected. So I guess in a round about way, you could say I am vaguely associated with the Beatles….(not really)…

          I was a piano teacher in college, trying to support my addiction to being a very low paid musician, if that counts.

            Blue Swede Shoes gives a whole new meaning to the song.

            Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut".

              During winter you're sure to find lots of "Blue Swedes" in Minnesota, so Bees' title isn't so far off base.

                True - I had failed to take into consideration the location. If I wasn't half sick I would take 20 lashes with a wet noodle.

                  In Minnesota, we also have Blue Norwegian Shoes, which are actually more popular than the Swedes.

                      Maybe Bees can answer the burning question:

                      Why did the Swedes & Norwegians brave the dangers of the Atlantic Ocean and then migrate halfway across this continent to settle in a place just as cold & dreary as the one they were trying to get away from?
