Dec. 8 ["Dave Upham" Subject: hokey-pokeyus interruptus Greetings, Feeling kind of logy today. Last night we had the annual turning on of Christmas tree lights in the town square. We had all gathered on the northwest corner of the courthouse and were frenziedly putting our right feet in and our right feet out, when the band, Brave Combo, blew out the local power grid. Their heavy metal version of the "Hokey Pokey" ended just as the pokeying mass (two hundred?) was getting ready to do the final circling chorus. All amps and PA's blinked off, leaving the drummer to bravely smash away. The bass player grabbed his euphonium and spurted valve lubricant in a losing attempt to unstick frozen valves (mid 40s temperatures). The drums just sort of petered out as the euphonium sank to soundlessness. Fortunately the power was restored, frustration forgotten, and more dancing ensued. Bye, Lyle _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
