good talk

I've been tricked, well, life must go on, hopefully my upcoming trip will restore the blush to my cheeks.  In 1986, when the fool, Reagan, gave Amnesty to the Mexicans, due to the counterfeiting of documents there were 3 times as many applications as had been expected, almost all of which were approved.  This Country has been rolling along on square wheels ever since the end of WW 11, there's been huge advances in technology while being increasingly morally and intellectually bankrupt.  I googled Nick Roman who was at Ohio State when I was and he dropped dead from a heart attack at "55."  A big defensive lineman (Canton McKinley, which even being a public school won the Mythical Nat'l Championship as late as 1998), Nick played 5 years in the NFL and started for the Browns.  Nick always came across as an unfortunate person, one of many on the Spaceship Earth, that Football-Playin' is deleterious to one's health, Rest in Peace, Nick.  The mastery of the instruments played on "The Lawrence Welk Show" is really something.  I've toured the "Jazz Hall of Fame" in Kansas City and they could have added one more, Benny Goodman was the only White considered the best on a Jazz instrument, even more impressive as Jazz isn't indigenous to Whites.  Charley Parker ("Yardbird" or just "Bird") grew up 2 blocks away from the Hall, a heroin addict from "17" ....If you don't live the life it's not coming out of your horn....
