    It's a NAME badge, so the name should be the most  P R O M I N E N T thing. 

    Totally agree.  This is a great help to a scorekeeper who does not know everybody on the posse.

    don't you want to make it 5 out of 9?

    Rethinking this.  3 c/be enough.  1) less for you to have to keep up with.  2) A couple of bad shoots could REALLY dilute yr results.  You know better than me - you decide.  But I am thinking all the shoots should take place within the same calendar year unless you just gotta end in TN.  And yes, NC is the last weekend in OCT/1st in NOV & I am no longer a factor there but I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to play.

  3. Save a spot for Pecos Pete & as ever, I'll have $20 cash money in my pocket for you.  Don't know if he's gonna make minimum this year b/c I hurt myself.  If you go to 9, don't you want to make it 5 out of 9?

    We had a German Shepard

    Petey's mama's sister had a GSD when he was an infant.   The story goes, they would place Petey on a blanket & the GSD would pick him up by his diaper & put him back on the blanket if he tried to crawl off.  I think her name was Patsy.

    I was trying to train my border collie pup to stay on the rug when he was in the house

    Sam, our friends' boxer, was supposed to stay on his rug by the front door while in the house.  My chair was by the fireplace.  Sam would creep, as quietly as he possibly could, to the fireplace side of my chair so he could put his head in my lap.  I helped him all I could (and relied on him as an outside babysitter. My daughter could go in the yard all she wanted but he kept her out of the street and the driveway.  He'd never seen another small child.)

    campus visit at the University of Tennessee.

    My ex-boss & BFF Sherrie ALMOST graduated from UT.  Left to get married (don't EVEN).  Finished later when we were together & she sent me kicking & screaming back into academia.

  8. Thanks, Tommy.  You know, I had always assumed these kids picked their own groups.  Wrong.  Berklee assigned them without a lot of warning (about 2 weeks) and the kids were expected to adapt and perform.   And they totally did.

    You know the best part?  The person presenting the outstanding student award said some nice things about the recipient & then when he said 'talented cellist from NC' we (family) knew and so did the room - it went ballistic.  So good to know his peers appreciate him as much as we do.

    You know the very best part?  He looks so happy when he plays with these people.

  9. Please, back to page 1.  Just returned from a magical trip with family to Boston to see Grandson #2 (Peter Sumner cello on u-tube) awarded a Master of Music degree via Berklee College of Music's Global Jazz Institute, complete with being granted the Matt Marvuglio Outstanding Student award.  If you are jazz-oriented, you can access their Masters' Commencement Concert via berkleeboston/albums.  There were four ensembles; the first two presenting (amber & silver) were a bit "out there" for my baroque taste.....  The first 3 ensembles presented 2 numbers; the fourth (Peter's, of course) presented 3, ending with his composition, Citizens United, to shut the house down.  AND, the next day after the degree presentations, before we left the reception, Peter got a phone call with the offer of a 3-month tour - a REAL JOB OFFER!  Are we proud?  Just a little bit.

    I've never had the opportunity to try mud bugs, but would try at least one!

    Went to an event in Lake Charles, LA swearing I would never eat a mud bug (I'm from SC - I know where they come from).  Had to yield when I finally realized I'd been eating them all week.  They're good food.

  11. Rye, he's my grandson.  When I say I don't think he has a choice, it's because the music is in his head & it has to go somewhere.  You are NOT wrong when you say music makes a hard row to hoe.  But this kid has some sense & I have to trust his judgement.  While I am soooooooooo impressed he made it into Berklee (about a 30% acceptance rate) I do wish he had a more traditional (& practical) education.  Like his mama: an audio electrician who has been the Grand Poo-Bah at Olympic Broadcasting - her degree is in economics.  BUT, like I said, he has the music in him and it tells him where to go.
