That cat sort of reminds me of the "Fonze" from that television show with the leather jacket and glasses. Very cute. Now if it only had a motor cycle!

That gives a whole new meaning to tuning the G string...

I second that YIKES!!!  . . . That has to be added to the "What was he thinking category"! Well from the picture, clearly, he's thinking " The top octave sure is hard to tune with that motorcycle running the background..."

To cold here in Michigan for dat Scooter's! Sides, that sounds kind of fishy to me. Here's the catch of the day. And we thought cats were stupid.

Although Scooters, my dad has a few stories of showing up to people's homes to find they would rather walk around in the nude while he tuned. Ladies... When asked if it would bother him he said, oh no! It's your house. You can walk around anyway you like.

Naaaa, honestly I tune for so many different concerts each year and for so many different performers that it doesn't bother me any longer. Especially at my college. When you're a newbie, it bothers you a LOT but after tuning for 35 years full time like that you get used to it. The only bad ones are those that think they have something to prove or are just plain ornery.

He was his jovial self. Joking a little bit but not like he does on stage performing. He always picked up the lid of a 9' Bose like it was a piece of paper. I joked with him about dropping it. He said, good one, I should use that in my skit. Don't know if he ever did though.
We are having an Indian Summer here now! Finally, some sunshine!!! 2 day's worth with more to come. How's the weather elsewhere?

Uhhh, Diane, I think that picture — as funny as it is — is a little too risqué for this forum. Oh, okay Horowitzian! So who do I "CALL" to get it removed!  I tried to delete it, but I can't! If I'm not here tomorrow, you'll all know why, right?  Let me just say in my defence, that she has more covered that that guy in the picture above this! Just my observation!

Use the "Notify" button to alert a moderator. Tell them you thought better of posting it, but cannot edit anymore. I did that once, and Ken deleted the image no problem.

The cat above, ate the bird and is setting just as content as can be in the bird feeder waiting for his next meal.  Good luck finding that handsome man that looks like the one above. The perfect looking gentleman. How bout a fat man instead?
