   About The Buskers
Shepherd Express’s Brian Barney explains The Buskers as... "Milwaukee’s The Buskers are a power pop trio with members from Fat Sandwich, eVibe and the Orin Project. They are arguably one of the best new bands in the area. Their songs establish a stranglehold on the ears, keying in on hooks and melody lines that stick in the head. Although the blues influence is heavy at times, they can also segue into a power-pop mode and produce catchy, radio-friendly tunes. One of their strongest cuts is “Honey Bee Rose,” which features an ear-pleasing yet gritty performance from lead vocalist Ricky Ganiere, who croons around a gorgeous chord progression that circles an infectious riff." Come out to one of our shows and see what all the hubbub is about.

I’m just stopping by to say “Thanks for being in my Circle of MySpace Friends”, and to hopefully make you smile today.

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No" said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"


ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE ?

Hope you have a Wonderful Day!

Your presence is a present to the world.
You’re unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You’ll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don’t put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don’t take things to seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot..... goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life’s treasures are people.... together.
Realize that it’s never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to wish upon a star.

Believe that I am a person who really does care about you, tho we have never met.

Wishing you many blessings,
Ninure da Hippie
