NEWS - Right now I have one music job in August, so I will just enjoy warm weather, watch the Cubs win games, ask you to see my calendar dates and send you this little poem.

TRUE LOVE

He liked to play his records
at the wrong speed
to see if his wife was listening.
Her eyes were closed,
she was ecstatic
and humming along.
But then she grabbed the hammer
and started smashing bottles
on the back porch,
and he knew he would
have to get more bottles.
It is not easy
to be not lonely.
