X-mas eve alone....nothing lonely or whimpery...just the way it is with joint custody of a child and a job in an emergency room....I'm glad to work the holidays so traditional families can be together and I get extra time with my little one who could care less what says the calender. So anyway...came home from work and cranked up The Stranglers....ah...they sound great....a 77-92 era hits CD....just right for housecleaning and adult swim. What a timeless, unclassifiable band...they hated when they were called punks...they hated when they weren't! Whatever DID happen to the Heroes?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS STEEL )))) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wXHToM3qt6wPs If we wanted an adult swim over in Britland we would have to wake up the janitor of the municipal sports complex to open the door /pay the money and choke on the chlorine ))

Many years ago a co-worker gave me a CD or two that he copied for me (don't tell!) and it is or they are around here somewhere somewhere. I'll have to look, because I don't remember what they sound like at all.
Glad you enjoyed your evening and I hope there was nothing especially sad going on at the hospital.

Hey, Berns, I'm working too today, so don't feel so bad. Try to enjoy the holidays. I hope everything is working out with the other situation and you have taken appropriate action. Keep me apprised. I remember the Stranglers when during my college years (1979 to 1983). They were pretty big in Boston, and I think they were from Boston, no? Jeff P.S. Stay tuned for a peek at the Fatman himself, and I'm not talking about Mick Abrahams. Also, I'd be glad to tell the Willie Warmer story, but I don't want to start with all that unless more people here are interested, because it does go on for awhile, being told in 10 or 12 installments before the whole thing unfolds. Fortunately I printed out the entire thing from the other board, so I can re-tell it verbatim.

My lurid tale involves a rather mixed cast...current Tull members, former Tull members, a retired tour manager and a local lady who still seems to have a connection with Tull...she was helping in the merchandise booth last year in Santa Rosa......stop me before it's too late Terry, if you have any connection to this board. Oh yeah, the star of the story is a Tull members member!
The Stranglers are as British as can be---except for a french guy who is only half brit...but i can see the Boston Strangler association in your aging memory.
I'm fighting like a pit bull to keep my home!

I'm fighting like a pit bull to keep my home! You have a lurid story, I have a lurid story....we are both going to have to come forth. Yours does seem very intriguing, but trust me, so is mine. Anyway, I guess you're right about that Boston Strangler thing, and also about my aging memory. But I definitely do remember the Stranglers from my college years. I hope all your efforts are successful in your real estate battle. Jeff

I don't think you need to wait for more people to tell stories. Jeff, you know I could take you both on by myself.
