Michelle I guess if your wife left you and took your dog and your truck, and you only want your dog and truck back, you could be a country songwriter! :D Michelle | ||

I guess I'll stick with the blues. Being a country singer is too much work. | ||

You know why county singers always wear snap shirts instead of button, They missed the class on unbuttoning a shirt. And do you know why county bars they line dance. It's because they forgot to bring a date. :eek: Oops did I say that. I wold still rather play the blues. A blues Name: Rotten grape Kitty Bush. :D | ||

You must carry a straight razor if you want to play the blues, not a bic disposable or electric razor, a good old fashioned, sharpened on the leather strap straight razor. :D :D :D | ||
