Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 05, 2017

I would wait ’til they break out the bagpipes.

They only know the “Golden Oldies” and Waldena likes Country , actually Bowser likes Classical but his tongue gets caught in the holes during the coda, so he will join his master Walbert in a rendition of “Blue Moon”

Dennis are those the new shaped inserts? I like them, they are more natural looking!

Rose, Yes, a little organic curve to simulate a quadriceps muscle. Unfortunately nothing to be done for Bailey, who does not wear pants.

Walbert and Bowser like to jam along on this little tune with Big Mama Thornton, John Lee Hooker, Big Walter Horton & Dr Ross…

This cannot be good. Everyone knows that you have to live the blues to play it.

And there’s no way Bowser, or any dog on Ballard St, has lived the blues.

Funny.

she thinks it’s best not to harp about their practice…

Blossom is leaving before they kick into the Orange Blossom Special…she hates orange.

I picture Walter Brennan and Gary Cooper playing the William Tell Overture in Meet John Doe.

You all know, without me saying, where the little woman is headed to escape the cacophony, don’t you ?

Waldana has a standing order for a Triple Tipple at the Tiki anytime it Harmonica practice at home.

For some reason i got a visual flash of Dylan and Seeger.

That’s when they practice to harm Monica’s ears.

Bowser’s got dem old hang-dog, empty food bowl blues…

I wonder if they go by the name of Bowser and Blue…an old Montreal act on the pub scene in Montreal.

Dueling Harmonicas. Foot stomping knee slapping music there……BOY HOWDY!!!!
