Semilive (Bill) stopped in to see me at the casino last night. He only had time for a beer, but then found time for another. Then he made a friend or two, and before you know it, three hours had passed.
That tells me that the music was at least bearable!
He even was kind enough to take a couple of photos for me. I'll put one on my website when I can find time.

Stopped what to see you? Nothing nefarious, I hope!

Thank you sir! I corrected the misspelling.
Don

Photos that show you on stage, Don? I'm really curiousing to see them.

Hey Don, I'll make this promise in print so I will do it for sure. I'll fix up your site. Email me a photo if it looks good. Otherwise, I will nab one from your present site. I'll work on it this week and post it where you can see it and then if you like it, you can post the code to your server.

Yeah, if I stayed three hours, something good was happening, wasn't it. Except for that girl who smelled like five french whores, everything was lovely. I'm not kidding, I had to leave after she arrived. She HAD to be a professional girl who just finished a job. Wow, she knocked me over. That's as bad as five smokers!

Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed your music. That fellow I was talking to was very complimentary to you. And he kept saying "How does he get all of those sounds? That machine he has is amazing!" (Your Ketron sd1.) Heck, that old geezer (uh, sorry, he's your age) tipped you $40? Man, I can't get 40 people to tip $40.

I'll bet that guy got lucky with Miss Smellstrong.

I was wondering how in the world one little one-man band dude was going to look on that giant stage. So, it was a pleasant surprise you were right up front with a great backdrop. I hope your photo turns out good, that's going to be really good. That's a good setting you have there.

Again, I liked your piano sound. I kept wanting to hear more piano sounds. Of course, I like piano.

You have a great stage presence, Don.

Here is the most impressive thing I saw. We never stumped you! Wow! I only wish I were as old as you for this. You have 11 years more of living on me to learn all of these songs! I kept telling that guy, "Man, we need to let up and let him play what he wants to play!" That really was impressive. How many songs do you have stored there? Every song ever written?

I sure liked the idea of that six-button pedal thingy. That's cool!

One other thing... I have never in my life seen someone push as many buttons as you do. haha. I think it's an act, you're just showiing off. Man, how the heck can you think enough to play the song? I guess it's automatic.

Bill,
It WAS nearly automatic with the Yamahas. I'm slowly getting to that point with the SD!.
The guy left with the girl soon after you left. I'm not sure that's getting lucky though!
I could actually smell her from the bandstand. Talk about strong perfume!
As far as the web page, I'm going to start completely over from scratch. I acquired a copy of Front Page. I guess I'll use that.
Right now I'm using Microsoft Publisher, and there are some drawbacks to that. I keep getting the wrong descriptions with the wrong photos. I correct them, and they seem all right, and then somehow they get corrupted again.
Oh well, I need to post all new songs and photos anyway.
I'll email you.
The weather is too nasty for golf today. It's down around 52 degrees and cloudy. And I think I saw the wind moving one of the flags.
Don

Sheriff, there are some older ones on my website. www.donmasonmusic.com

Down to 52--man it's up to 28 here today, and the wind is screaming at 25 to 35 MPH, which makes for a nasty wind-chill index.

Bottom's up!

Hey, that's cool, Don!!! You have really much more experience on stage than I've thought. This means that you come across as a young and restless man.
The last photo on this page was made in the year I was born - 1967!!! What a great year...
