Very cool...  Now, when the thing goes platinum don't forget us lil peons here back at 'da ranch :lol: ---------

Platinum??? I am hoping for cardboard or tin foil.

[senorsalvia]

Tin foil it is then...  A fine choice might I add...  Nice to have available when cranial protection issues arise, as we are all aware happens from time to time.....

That's what I was thinking.

My friend Tommy helped write a song with our homey who was playing with Jefferson Starship. They cut it and I guess it did ok, cause though Tommy got screwed out of most of his royalties he did get a gold record. One day he decided to put it on his turntable and see how it sounded. It played Moon River.

Moon River ---  Yeah well. I guess it's time I reval a darkly hidden secret from senors' past....  Seems senor had this major crush on this redhead gal named Jane Bartlett...  I was in 6th grade; band class was just getting started for the year, and there was a newb babe, wasn't in band the year before.... To my shock, they put her in the drum section with me and the other 4 guys from the year before...  All the guys grumbled around, hating the fact that we now had a chick in the drumm section...  I didn't say anything, but I thought it was cool...  Sorta like when a babe rides their own Harley....  She'd never played drums before, so incrementally, I showed her what all the percussion thing was about...  She was a fast learner and had a natural dexterity and sense of timing to boot....  So, I copped a super crush on her :oops: ----  A school dance was fast approaching...  Now, this was back in 'da day, when they spun 45's that we'd bring.....  I went to my local record store and bought Moon River....  I gave it to Jane that Friday during band class and told her "here Jane, we can dance to this if you are going to the dance tonight"....  After school, I went home and prepared for my 'big night'....  Picked out my coolest clothes, combed my hair oh so precisely, sloshed on half a bottle of 'Jade East', and headed to the dance....  I got to the dance and looked around.  There she was,  alas, she was there with one of the jocks  :shock: Jocks :shock:  Damn, senor never expected something so uncool....   When they dimmed the lights and called out for the 'moonlight dance', I waited with breathless anticipation...  They played all 3 of the 'moonlight' songs and none was Moon River :cry: ...  As the  3rd song was ending I looked around the room and Jane and the jock were nowhere to be found....  I guessed they'd split to somewhere to go make out.....  Senor trudged home carrying the heavy burden of a man rejected...Senor never gave 'ole Janey any more tips on things percussion, and Jane never mentioned the dance or the record...  Senor was a bit relieved when Jane became a cheerleader in 7th, and dropped out of band.......................

So now we have the true story of the orgins of the super hero we just know as Senor Salvia.

[senorsalvia]

As a certain Floridian once put it....   " Some people say that there's a woman to blame,,,  But I know,,,  It's my own damned fault"  ........

[laughingwillow]

Oh, that's a great pair of stories.....
