The Ebony & Ivory Show
Those were the days. Ebony or Ivory was late… Then the bartender left and shortly thereafter Ebony or Ivory left too! Leaving exactly one (1) individual at the venue, playing music.

Don’t Leave Me Behind…
Brutal-8-E! Even the Missus approved… at the time*. And for the record this is indeed the 808th post**. * I think that I now can understand how some things simply can not be explained properly. How experiences actually can’t be explained properly from one generation to another and it would seem to have to do… Continue reading Don’t Leave Me Behind…
