Sarge ( Jim McDonald) entertains us.

When I was typing how great a song that was, I was going to add something else.  Unfortunately, I was blind-sided by a senior moment and lost all train of thought.  I have now remembered.

When the song started, my normally quiet R.A.M.B.O, who never barks at anything, began to bark and cocked his head looking at the computer and then made a bee-line for the door.  He apparently has no taste for good music.

Larry, It probably wasn't the music. More than likely it was the toothless musician. That ol Sarge can be a spooky feller !! You need to work on Sarge and tell him how much you love to hear bag pipes. I want him to play amazing Grace--on pipes--at my funeral but he always says he can do it on the harmonica. Just aint the same.

[larryJ]

Nah, he wasn't in a position to see the screen.  He could only hear the music.  I am kinda disappointed in him that he has no taste for good music.  Perhaps, if Sarge were to play the pipes, he might change his altitude.  A few years ago, I attended the services for a neighbor who was a vet.  The services were held at the cemetery inside a chapel.  As the service concluded, bagpipes could be heard outside playing Amazing Grace.  I seriously had tears in my eyes.  All the vets in the audience stood and gave a final hand salute to my neighbor for about five minutes. 

So, hey, Sarge, lets hear the pipes.

I thank all of you for the kind comments. The contest this year has been modified and there will be no people's choice award, so I have little hopes of winning anything. Entries come from all over the world and there are fantastic players entering every day, but I enjoy doing the videos and submitting them for consideration anyway.


I told tarhead, uh jarhead that if he bought me a set of bagpipes I'd try to learn Amazing Grace on them.  He won't do it, so what does that tell you?

[jarhead]

Tarhead That's gonna cost you Fly-Boy !!!! What that tells me is---I'm broke and you're a skinflint.

[larryJ]

It tells me that I am kinda glad I don't live too close.  I don't want to be hit by the collateral damage.  On the other hand, we would have a fun time together.  Oh well.  You two try and behave.

Larry,
I try my best to behave but with Sarge it a tuff job. We go fishing and it's yack, yack yack !! The lad never shuts up. "that was a big one---I had a bite---I caught the biggest fish" ---and on and on and on. As you know Larry, I'm a man of few words but that Sarge is a blabber mouth  ??

[larryJ]

LOL!!!   Oh well, you know there is one in every crowd, but it would probably be pretty boring without him.  So I guess you just have to put up with it.

[Sarge]

Larry, , I'm a man of few words but that Sarge is a blabber mouth  ??

That is a typical jarhead prevarication.
