This is a picture from a Dave Sheridan and Pat Ryan "T" shirt, given to me many years ago in their Fairfax studio, at the suggestion of a good friend and high school classmate who's gone now: Maurice Brunt.
The "Black Death Malt Liquor" shirt regularly worn by Howard Hesseman on WKRP in Cincinnati in his role as Dr. Johnny Fever that was designed and drawn by Sheridan, was a different shirt; I have that one, too.
I can remember the beer--it was a little bitter, but very potent--I could only drink one without getting completely wasted!
As promised, we just finished a rough take of a new tune, "Cover Songs;" find it in "What's New." It'll be cleaned up soon. We had to get it recorded quickly because we're half way through composing our next, a country song with the first two lines: "Picking up litter on the highway, I saw you and my best friend/He was driving my new car, and you were kissing him."
And although "Cover Songs" may sound like some sort of a "swan song," it's not. We thought we should record it now while it's on our mind, because Chris has to work until he's 100-years-old to accomplish what he wants to do in life, and isn't just hoping for that, he's planning on it.
The oldest woman in America just died at 116-years-old 60 miles north of here, and a 50-year resident of Spring Valley just celebrated his 100th birthday in the Community Center.
Both parents worked until they were in their late 80's, after surviving the freaking depression as children, and World War II. And since Chris started doing his Tai Chi and other arts again, his vitals are as good as they've ever been!
Hell, According to studies done by the Feds in the early 2000's, the only safe place in America from a full nuclear exchange is Ukiah, CA, 60 miles North of us, so we'd expect to survive that, too--although we realize some of our current activities would become, how would you say it, "more difficult?"
We're working on a letter to Verizon regarding the completion of their dismal attempts porting our Home & Primary Business Phone from AT&T.
There's a new poem in "What's New:" What Flagler Got."
