Kris >> Well, Susan had "taken me to the back room" (woohoo!) to demonstrate some chord fingerings after her midday FUMC show back in February, and Jane had parked the car in front of the church to load up after the show. We were in the middle of trading some progressions, and Jane came in, (and I paraphrase), "Got a GOD DAMNED parking ticket!! Do you believe this????" I laughed out loud, which I don't think she appreciated, but then suggested that the give it to the church minister/secretary and they'd probably handle it... but I don't know what finally happened... I'll have to ask her this time around...
