Dunno, but special arrangements like that also cost extra.

(Off topic, but hell - we're just bullshitting anyway. My sister's getting married on Friday. Mrs. E and I will be there to perform (she will accompany me and play a solo piano piece). My sister's laundry list of music stretches from here to next week. Some of the stuff she wants to hear (like the solo piano piece) ISN'T EVEN ARRANGED YET. But she wants to hear it.

"Whaddya mean? Why can't you just play it?"

Non-musicians.  :banghead: )

 :rotf:

And poof!  You'll snap your fingers, and the arrangements will all be done, and you and Mrs. E will be all rehearsed and performing like the well oiled concert machines you are, right?  (Because musicians are lazy and don't actually do a damned thing except play their instrument and take the money, doncha know...)  :rotf: :rotf:

Heh, heh! Never thought of that! Good idea. I never know what to get 'em anyway. Would much rather play my guitar and not have to shop!

Condolences to the family.

For 7 months I wrote and called his office when I lived in PA for help with the V.A.  Received lots of promises and nothing else.

At least now we know that the SoB won't be changing party affiliation anytime in the near future.  He'll be voting Dhimmi'Rat for the next 50 years.
