Nine pieces this week.  One for everyone on the team.  Yes, we're cleaning out our junk drawer of material to get ready for a winter season of never before heard bits and pieces.  Also looking for a rubber band to hold certain things together.  Not saying what, just saying.  

Warning: There are hidden messages inside.  Do not attempt to listen to them.  Have an explanation ready to go.  Not a flimsy excuse.  

All hail the Merchant of Ridgedale!  And nothing else.

All the world's a mall, so in honor of the up-coming holiday shopping season stampede, let's revisit the time Foster Valley had a gig for actor Richard Desmond that should have been a great fit, but almost inspired Richard Desmond to give up sew business.  It's a lot of hemming, but little hawing as the Bard meets his tailor.  Did Richard become a big (and tall) man about it or did the classically-trained thespian leave everyone in stitches?   

There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip; Nay, her foot speaks.

On the Wall--catch the buzz.

It's Titillating--but watch out.

Foster Talent: Star Grazing 3--Foster Valley doesn't chicken out, he negotiates the crap out of a deal with some tough cookie and then makes sure it hits the fan.

Boots--these boots are made for the sole purpose of strolling in style, I'm here to say.

Outros/Credits

In 1977, Lloyds of Leuwenheuk insured Lydia Linda Lorna's left leg for $176,000.  The policy had a high deductible and double detachment indemnity.  Her right leg was held harmless.  It was all just for kicks, anyway.

It's her favorite over-the-calf footwear, says fashion-plate Lydia Linda Lorna and since veal is her favorite calf, why not take a high-heeled trek along Memory Lane with a soundtrack from Boots?  

When Boots Randolph was "tootin' his horn", he did more than just play the saxophone. More than just pop out music notes. And that's why his saxophone sounded like it could sing...could talk...could almost speak to deaf ears! His ability was awesome. His versatile style still has no equal. He he brought audiences to their feet ever since the early sixties, when his signature song-- "Yakety Sax" -- first hit the airwaves. It took off like gangbusters and turned the young musician into a celebrity, probably before some of his friends in the hills of Kentucky could even spell it!

Over the years, this legendary musician had written chapter after chapter of music history...forever etched in sound... entertaining audiences with the same enthusiasm he had since day one. It was in his blood! Boots was his name and SAX was his game!  His horn was a Selmer Super 80 Series II with a Bobby Dukoff D-9 mouthpiece, and a #3 Rico reed.
