Is that the old Beatles song?

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she's too short

Sure. I believe all bagpipe players are trying to play them.

Weird, but I was think of the same song when I read the post!!!

Purpura looks around. Hey Mainstreeter.... Hope you saw Seiya today. :)

Is it me? or is Hobie's Meez singing "It's a Small World"

Interesting that you should ask. Let me first say I ran a sound reinforcement company in my rock 'n' roll days so I know what good equipment is.

My wife decided she wanted a kareoke system for Christmas. I looked at what she wanted and decided it was junk so I searched around and got her a better head unit that plugs into a stereo and some decent mics. After hooking it up I determined there were major limitations so $800 later, she's got a good, mobile system.

Two days ago she was asked to bring it to a birthday party for a friend. They started to sing after the cake and were having a good time. Someone put on Great Balls Of Fire for the ladies chorus but it just wasn't working so I cleared my throat and stepped up to the mic. Oh yeah. I've been married for eighteen years and my wife has never heard me sing.

I did my best Jerry Lee Lewis impression and smoked the room. They dragged me back up for some Chuck Berry and I finished off the night with Like A Virgin in my best falsetto voice.

My wife is still looking at me in astonishment.

Hobie! Dude!! That's so cool. So... when can you come to Texas and audition for VM??? :D:

On a related but strange note, supposedly I'm distantly -- like fifth cousin multi-times removed distant -- related to Jerry Lee Lewis, which of course makes me also related to Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart. For the record, though, so far in life I have managed to avoid playing the piano with my feet, riding a mechanical bull, or tearfully confessing to sexual scandals.

ETA: Over 2000 posts on the ADD thread! What does that say about us??? :D:

With Jerry Lee gettin' 'round as much as he did we may all be related to him. :D:

I think it would be pretty cool to be able to play piano with my feet but I'm a drummer so I get to use all four limbs and an occasional elbow.
