Well. Happy Belated Birthday to Mrs. Papper. I wouldn't have been so late with those wishes except I didn't know. Or maybe I would have. The best ex Mrs. BT and my Grandmother had birthdays 2 days apart and I screwed them up year after year. The really good news? Syd's BD was 2 days AFTER Grandma so I was always early rather than late where it really had an impact on me. Syd: "Thanks for the flowers, I'll save the package until Wednesday when the girls are here, and call your Grandmother pronto."
I love the story of your T=Bone. Pretty good name for a musician, matter of fact. Pretty impressive with the management of the store, but seriously impressive with the voice. If he can play the drums and sing he'll pick bass up pretty fast. A simple bass line for a song is easy. Really good bass players improvise on the line, but straight and simple will work fine til they find their guy.
Melodic Memories. Sounds like a little local band I used to listen to quite a bit back in Spokane. They were young too. Boys to Men.
I will pass those birthday wishes on to the Mrs. when she gets back home. Birthdays close together can cause confusion for sure. My mother and my sister's husband were a day apart and I got them messed up all the time when Mom was alive.
I do have one day that is easy to remember for birthdays and that is August 8th, it is a trifecta day as my brother, aunt and my oldest brother's wife all have a birthday that day.
T-Bone got his nickname playing baseball when he was nine. His coach at the time gave it to him and it stuck ever since. When ever he would get injured he would just get up and dust himself off and go back to playing. His coach told the umpire after a collision at home plate when he was playing catcher that this kid is "tougher than an old T-Bone steak" .
Didn't realize Boys to Men came out of the Spokane area but I am not a music guy unless it is George or Willy and of course Lyle.
