I have too many interests.
Music
"All music is folk music. I ain't ever heard no horse sing a song."
Louis Armstrong...
"After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
Aldous Huxley...
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
Red Auerbach...
"Music is the vernacular of the human soul."
Geoffrey Latham...
"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art."
Charlie Parker...
"Remember, information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; music is the best."
Frank Zappa
Movies
"They shoot too many pictures and not enough actors." Walter Winchell
Television
What? NOT!
"The minds that control television are so small that you could put them in the navel of a flea and still have room for a network vice president's heart." Fred Allen
Books
Caveat lector!
"He has left off reading altogether, to the great improvement of his originality." Charles Lamb

I'm sure you know about Powell's art show and reception at the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture. Jesus Christ, couldn't they come up with an easier name? Anyhow, the reception begins at 7:09 pm on March 14. Please come and bring your girl. Here's a picture of you.
Hi Chumbley, I would like to introduce to you July's song posting. If you know it, it's called "Chilly Winds", if you don't know it, it's still called "Chilly Winds". Jeff
