Link Wray was very kind to write my theme song:

Sadly, the 30 second "preview" doesn't do it entire justice, but at least you can get a whiff of "The Swag."

[swag]

1. My geode must be acknowledged!

[swag]

2. A kick of pure vanity before dying.

[tigereye]

3. dig that crazy scene, you hipster daddy!

sorry, I was preoccupied by my eyeliner obsession. Methinks I need a drink!

[swag]

4. Beat those skins, dad!

[progmom]

5. you deserve nothing but the best, darling

:thumbsup:

[swag]

6. You dish it out so nicely, puddin' pop.

Is the spawn over his ick? I hope he's feeling much better.

[progmom]

7. his ick lasted almost exactly 24 hours

he's irrepressible as usual now. :D

[swag]

12. Two occurrences of "irrepressible" in such a short thread is probably

inexcusable, but my excuse is my own high suggestibility quotient, especially when progmom's doing the suggesting.

As the irrepressible Claude Bessy told we who have ears to listen, "I can tell right from wrong, and it never stopped me."

Only those with slide rules will be able to detect the precise moment at which this thread skids from the merely meta into the para-meta.

bridgit, destiny calls!

[progmom]

13. when i think para-meta, i think bridgit

and just because i can't think of anywhere else to post it, here's a pic of me at 20 playing the tenor sax in a big band...

[swag]

14. That's a very cool looking band. Netherlands, Michigan, or where?

Was there ever any controversy in your life over single-lipped v. double-lipped embouchure?

The shirts are so citrusy orange, and I'm coveting that dulcet-toned hollow-body guitar the fellow is playing. Great photo!

You, as always, are lovely. Still play that thing? Hope so.

[progmom]

15. Michigan

My only controversy was plastic vs metal mouthpiece. :)

That fellow had a great George Benson thing going.

I still play every once in awhile. Ok...not very often at all. :(

[swag]

16. Wasn't everyone going plastic mouthpiece in those days?

I'll send you a recurring Outlook appointment to play your saxophone and you send me one to play guitar or piano.

Or to eat barbecue and drink beer.

Deal?

8. I just want to feel like I'm a part of this thread

[swag]

9. jpgray is punk! monarchy and testpoy!

[jpgray]

10. Don't believe the hype--I'm listening to Caravan's Cunning Stunts

Shannon Selberg soooooo ripped them off. :D

[swag]

11. Irrepressible Pop Anglophilia?

That and the chill in the air could explain the jumpers.

Evidence still too thin on all counts.
