Peter had been in Police work for 25 years. Finally sick of the stress, he quits his job and buys fifty acres of land in Alaska as far away from humanity as possible...
He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month... Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door... He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there.
"Name's Cliff, your neighbour from forty miles up the road. Having a party Friday night. Thought you might like to come at about 5:00..."
"Great", says Peter, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you...!"
As Cliff is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you. Be some drinking."
"Not a problem," says Peter. "After twenty five years in the business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fighting too."
"Well, I get along with people. I'll be alright! I'll be there. Thanks again."
"More'n likely be some wild sex too."
"Now that's really not a problem!" says Peter, warming to the idea. "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
"Don't much matter. Just gonna be the two of us," replied Cliff with a large smile.
Smile!

Few composers lend themselves to jazz better than J.S. Bach. Maybe it's why he was a master improvisor when they held improv contests in his day. Jacques Loussier and "Play Bach" came up around the time of Almedia. There are the "Swingle Singers" and countless other Bach jazz interpreters. Thanks for sharing this one. I was not aware of Ameida until your post.
Thank you for the comments. I love Bach!!! The Swingle Singers are among my favorites!!

Here's an eagle's nest close to where I live. Most of the time when the eagles are "home", one is perched outside the nest and one in the nest. Occasionally the nesting one gets out and cuddles with the other one. Then they fly out and soar and glide over Puget Sound waters looking for salmon (what a life!!!)
Thank you!

That's why I have a grabber tool, keeps me from bending over and crawling around on the floor.
I thought you meant a “grab her” tool.
My perverted mind!!
