The top cats of Nutty
(these are seven swingin' dicks!)

Jazz on the Rocks:
A guy walks into a tiki lounge with a beautiful blonde on his arm. The bartender asks, in a melodic voice, "What'll it be, hmmmm?"
As the couple mull over the drinks menu the guy responds, "Okay, what's a Magic Trane Ride?"
"That's Steppenwolf Gold with a Coltrane chaser," beams the barkeeper.
The patron smiles. "Yeah, I'll have a double. How about you, baby?"
The girlfriend can't decide. Suddenly, a light bulb goes on above her head. "Hey, you got any of that Lynyrd Skyn--", but the bartender cuts her off.
"Uh-uh", he quips, pointing to a sign on the wall mirror behind him, "no Freebird, no Stairway!" The blonde is crestfallen.
"Tell ya what, kitten," he is quick to add, "I'm gonna mix you something special, one of our latest concoctions that I know you'll dig...it's a new house favorite." And with that, he goes to work on her drink.
Moments later, the blonde is nearly orgasmic with her first sip. "Omygod!! What IS this?"
The bartender leans in with a proud grin...
"Hendrix blue label with a shot of Mancini. We call it the Purple Panther."
It's called "Jetsetter Jazz", and it's comin' from NUTTY!!
Currently, Nutty is behind closed doors, recording tracks for the new cd, "Jazz For Jetsetters". Some promo video from their Alvas show is also in the editing stages...

Hello Nutty, Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux.
Just wanted to wish you Nutty guys Happy Holidays! I wish I were out there now...it's close to 0 here at my brother's place. I will be back in SoCal in a week or so...but that really isn't soon enough.
You know I'm crazy about you cats. I know you're busy being Nutty, but I just posted a new tune for your review if you get a chance. Much Love and Respect. Proud Nutty Fanatic, Ron Gallagher
