I can sound mostly like BB or Willie

I’ve been practicing too so I should be able to tell which one is BB or Willie but in your case maybe not.

I have 2 dogs. Is that ok? Not enough detail in the post. We have HEB where I live but there’s Kroger up in Dallas but HEB has room for rehearsal in the produce aisle I have an egg shaker and claves and my neck cracks. Not everyone knows penguin calls mixed in made Elvis so we could be not exactly the same as everyone else but probably like Run DMC sizzle with macaroni art but I found out there’s microchips in shampoo so you have to pee on your tip toes to keep them from downloading their songs to make us sound like everyone else. Let’s rawk.

So it's known all the way out in Texas, is it? Well, then you'll enjoy the song too!




For those who don't know, here's the little slice of Atlanta life that started it all in 1991...




...and a post-script:

I’m from Atlanta, left in 97. My roommate was interviewed by the “Hat Squad “ about the Cynthia Prioleau parking lot murder. She heard the interaction and the shot but didn’t see the plate on the car. Pro tip, don’t spray mace at someone after you steal their parking space. Just apologize. They have tried for years to make that nickname go away. I’m proud to say I lived closer to the Disco Kroger! My sister shops at the Fancy Kroger and my mom lives up north and still goes to the Stinky Kroger. I bagged groceries at the Mt. Vernon Kroger in high school but that didn’t have a cool nickname.

I’ve seen many things I’m not proud of but the top of the list is Clermont Lounge in the daylight! You know what I mean. I miss ATL and still love the Falcons even though they are never going to finish.
I met my wife at 688 at a Game Theory show.

Re: Musician! Emails (Nashville)

Fellas. Thank you for the honesty in your emails. Please forgive me. The whole thing is a joke.
I was up late surfing, and came across ‘shaggy dog jokes’ on wiki. I decided to write one of my own. The piece was supposed to be about nothing, forever, and when I was too lazy to think of more I simply repeated myself. And heck yeah, the narrator is one of the worst characters you’d ever want to work for.
Funniest thing. Was it ever the perfect set up for the classic punchline, since Renn is my flippin nickname.
Was merely an attempt at literary humor. It was kinda like one chapter in a Twain book, for free. I apologize for causing so much offense. I hope many more musos are laughing.
Good night.

I had to go look that up. Apparently there’s a rich literary legacy with these shaggy dog stories! Good effort!

I sometimes like to pepper my emails and Facebook posts with stream of consciousness-ish diversions, to keep things interesting. The essence of creativity is connecting things that most folks don't see are connected, and I like to have fun with that, but....

This isn't a stream, it's a frickin' river - well above flood stage, during a hurricane.

So, like this would be a Stevie Wonder tambourine band that plays AT Kroger’s while people shop for picnic supplies and sizzle?

Compelling.

I totally misread it. I thought we were going to buy picnic supplies at Kroger's and throw our own picnic and sell tickets for it... but only if people know our name first, otherwise they won't pay for tickets.
