Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 23, 2023

Well Mavis, you had the diva last night, so tonight it’s Ted’s choice.

But they needed a place to practice. They’ll get better…I hope….

Looks like a good group.

so much for a romantic dinner at home

It’s certainly better than Zither night, or Jake Klinhlehopper and his foot long harmonica.

“Earlene, every night simply CANNOT be accordion night — I beg you!”

Trio? What’s a jazz band without sax?

Ted’s starting to regret buying that raffle ticket at last year’s Jazz Festival. That weekly subscription to live Jazz music seemed a good price at the time.

They aren’t available tomorrow.

Based on how she’s dressed got the dvd Ning…Her lips say “no, no, no, no, no” but “Do it again”.

No, you can have a quartet instead.

“OK, Zeke, she wants the tuba!”

This is not what Mavis envisioned when Ted declared his desire for a threesome.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

I take it that’s a yes!!!

He was in the mood for cool jazz. Sorry/not sorry for the big band ref

But the drummer has to lose the reefer!

It keeps them off the streets. :)

Although Ted appears to be unconscious, he’s preparing to dance the night away.

“Well I can go up, get the banjo and make it a quartet.”

“Yes, dear, the orchestra won’t fit.

Could be worse. They did win once on The Gong Show.
