Jet lag birdmen

Aislin / Montreal Gazette 

 

 

Into the air, junior birdmen
Into the air, upside down

Into the air, junior birdmen
Keep your nose up in the brown

And when you see all those birdmen
With their shiny wings of tin
Then you will know the junior birdmen
Have sent their boxtops in!

The Treasures of Dunf-a-lago

_

 

Hey, everybody takes something when they go.

 

In my case, boxes of column art,

historic collectibles (above)

and photos I "forgot" to return

to the Sun library. 

So I feel for Trump wanting to keep his 

Chairman Kim Jong-un love letters.

At the Dunf-a-lago museum

in eastern Ontario,

we make cute little cards

explaining what each object 

means.

Above, Greg, Allan and Gary Slaight

 their nose"

having played Santa Claus

to so many radio people.

The CBC's hand-made

 "The Radio Show"

cup.

Unlike crappy radio station cups,

each cup for Jack Farr's

beloved Saturday radio show

was hand-made 

by artisan elves

in Jim Millican's 

enchanted treehouse.

Dunf-a-lago 

is currently closed 

for rodent control.

THANK YOU, MR. ANNOUNCER! I FEEL SWELL!

_

 

Gosh! Golly! Gee!

How long since you felt  ... Swell?

Is that a word you've heard the kids use?

Swell? 

Watching the 40 seconds above, I had this tingle.

I think I felt  ... swell. 

I may use "swell" in a sentence.

Who wants to tickle me?

Would you rather feel "swell" or "groovy"?

Okay, I'll stop. 

I see you're not feeling ... the ... lingo.

You lack jive.

How you joined the Canadian Club

_

 

"Damn right your dad drank it." 

 

"He went out.

He got two or three numbers

in the same night.

He drank cocktails.

Served in a rocks glass.

They tasted good.

They were effortless."

You know the bears 

researchers drug and tag

in the name of science?

 

Then they take selfies.

 

Here's the paw of an unconscious

grizzly bear. 

 

See you (and him)

on our next portage!

PERFORMANCE: Boz Scaggs - Breakdown (Dead Ahead)

_

Unlike so many career-dead Heroes of Yacht Rock, Boz Scaggs is on the road this summer.

He's rocking Iowa tomorrow.

Boz doesn't need the money.

But with a young band and killer backup singers like this, fans flip for throw-back faves.

Also on Scaggs' Outta the Blues tour: the Robert Cray band, in this space tomorrow.

Clip: Breakdown live, Boz (Album: Six Degrees)
