Smitty caught Ernie working on the Future Sheriffs MonkeyBlues campaign float. That wouldn’t have been too bad but Ernie was doing the job for yak milk and banana bread. He knew Smitty only accepted MasterCard and cowbells.
Feel free to express yourself in whatever musical genre tickles your creative fancy. We are all – with the exception of Gladys Crabapple – pretty catholic ( small c ) in our tastes in music. Enjoy your new digs. If the Conch House deal goes through, we’ll be neighbors.
Good morning! I’ve pulled all the shades down in the house and closed the windows, to try to keep some cool air inside. I feel like I’m in a cave! We’re trying to hold off putting the A/C’s on til at least noon, but I think it’ll be earlier! Predicted heat index is 104˚! Keep cool! You in your cellar and me in my cave! lol
I read last night’s posts. Thanks for the info re: large monitor and also “poisoned searches”. The guy at the computer repair shop said that the infection was most likely not a part of the photo, but attached looking for a smooth route elsewhere. When I clicked on it to use it, it followed the photo to my laptop. (I think that’s basically how he explained it.) It really is the luck of the draw, but 3 times in a year and a half??? Ernie remarked that I’d better not even think of going to the casino with that kind of luck!I forwarded your posts to him. We both have found all the info that everyone has shared with us extremely helpful. Thank you for the article and also for the monitor suggestion, which sounded really good (until I read how it was confusing you , I’m thinking then it would make me totally loony! lol Yet, it still intrigues me…)
The owner of the Piano House, who prefers to remain anonymous (Smitty Smith, the garage owner) is still having reservations regarding selling the house, but is willing to lease it. He is independently wealthy (which begs the question: why did he have to give Ernie the boot?) and quite civic-minded, so asks that you be willing to give a series of free summer concerts at the Egg House square.Keep in mind that the Piano House does have a state-of-the-art, fully equipped recording studio and an extensive collection of cowbells. (I wonder if Smitty’ hoarding of cowbells is the cause of the cowbell shortage?)I need to respond by the end of business tomorrow, so do consider his generous offer.
Between you and I, I think the owner, who shall remain anonymous (Smitty), just needs to become accustomed to the idea of someone else living there — especially another music lover! Be patient! I’m sure he’ll come around.And…..think of that incredible cowbell collection! My, oh my….do not lose out on this!!!
No,no,no. He keeps my 1938 Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton running like a top.Besides, he has the best selection of bootleg… er.. little known brands of rums on Ballard Street.
Well, when Ernie started greasing the carburetor of Linguist’s Cord, that was the last straw for Smitty. Although Ernie is his brother-in-law, there are some customers who you just don’t want to upset. Anyone who owns a 1938 Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton must be rolling in dough, and that’s the kind of customer you need to be able to hang on to. Besides, Smitty loves to take it for a test drive…often.

I’d make a crack about Ernie, butt it would probably be in poor taste.

While the Ballard Street Irregulars keep the peace, I’m going to get some well earned sleep. See you all later.
