     Pretty sure you're right, Norm.  The tanks were a mismatch.  Since we're on tigers, anybody ever hear of "Operation Tiger?"  My uncle was in that and it only recently became declassified.  One of the cable channels had a documentary on it not long ago.  Operation Tiger was a practice run for the Normandy invasion which took place on British shores.  No allies were on the same radio frequencies, the Germans found out about it, and it was a real slaughter, many allied troops killed, drowned, etc.  Poorly planned, gawdawful scene.  He never talks about it, and he even went through D-day as well on an LST (tank landing ship).  I want to take him down to Mobile, AL where some WWII sailors, all elderly veterans, sailed back an LST against all advice and odds regarding the seaworthiness of the ship and their own age, health and safety so it could become a memorial.
     Okay, on to music.  Went to an open mic the other night and heard a voice from heaven.  I almost fell off my chair.  Perhaps some Falcon Ridge goers may have seen her, she won an award there, and some others as well.  She would be a great opener for RS.  Her name is Susan Levine and here's her site:

There are some songs available for listening on there, check her out!

Regards,
Greg Z
