Click on the above to see the jazz funeral.
The fact that this jazz funeral tribute to Bhob is online would really please him.
Thanks Eddie.

Tuba Skinny in Rapperswil 30 juni 2013 -Bama Mine
It took some looking but I found them after many tries. Here they are in Switzerland at a Blues
and Jazz Festival in Rapperswil Switzerland which is near Zurich.
This is for all Tuba Skinny fans but mainly for me and for Eddie Hunter who are tuba skinny
fanatics.
Now I have to get busy and find them somewhere in France.

Eddie Hunter Likes Tuba Skinny As Much As I Do They Are Addictive As Cigarettes
See posts below this one for many tubaskinny youtube videos. They are the best thing going. Too good for American Idol or any of the crappy commercial tv and music biz junk that is spoon fed to dumb Americans young and old.
We went to a wedding in Bethesda, Maryland yestersday. As usual the music at the reception after the church service was loud(too loud)but that is what the dancers want. Loud LOUD disco music and other danceable music.
After the church service when I went outside I saw one person smoking. It was the oldest person there out of 200 or more. She was the 85 year old grandmother of the bride. She lit up as soon as she got out of the church.
Later at the reception Ray told me he would give me 100 dollars if I would go over to her table and ask her for a cigarette. I said no. He said he would give me110 dollars. I said no. I told him that Robert Stone(the author)wrote in his memoir PRIME GREEN of being at a party in 1964 with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters. It was at Stone's apartment and Jack Kerouac was there also.
Stone's one converstation with Kerouac went like this. He asked Kerouac if he could bum a cigarette off of him. Kerouac told him no. He told Stone there was a store down on the corner and that he (Stone)should go down there and buy his own cigarettes.

Forrest Gump Rides Again
I have met quite a few famous people in my life and written about them on this blog. Blogger Eddie
Hunter(who has a blog named Chicken Fat. You can find him at blogspot.com Chicken Fat) wrote to me that I was like Forrest Gump. I was everywhere and I had met everybody.
Little did he know that Winston Groom who wrote Forrest Gump is from Mobile, Alabama and that Winston's mother Ruth Groom taught English at Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama when I was a student there from 1955 to 1958. Its a small world after all.
I also met a man here in Arlington, Va. who told me he had a fight with Winston Groom at a cocktail party in Alexandria, Va. I think one of them threw a drink on the other and then they grabbed each other and fell into some bushes. The man was a notorious book thief. He was convicted of stealing books and pages from books from the Library of Congress. Or maybe it was valuable maps he tore out of books. In any event he was convicted and served time for being a book thief.
I suspect the fight has something to do with the stealing of maps and papers from the Library Of Congress.
He also owned and ran a bookshop in Alexandria, Va.
He was shunned by all the other book people. Other book dealers and book sellers would not even speak to him after his conviction. I used to see him at estate sales. While we waited I noticed no one would talk with or to him. One of his ancestors was a famous Confederate General.
I finally did talk to him. He seemed like a nice man to me. Stealing books and papers from the LOC(Library Of Congress) was just one part of his personality.
I often like to make friends with people no one else will talk to.
Later this man told me he had a history of Oktibbeha County Mississippi which is the county my father's family settled back in 1830. I bought this rare book from him. He gave me a low price on the book. It was written by a judge about 100 years ago.
My family is mentioned in the book.
My family got 1000 acres in Oktibbeha and Noxubee Counties after the US govt. took the land from Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians in the treatry called The treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek around 1830.
