He better.

OK. For the past few months Jeff Ruby has been calling me asking me to sing at one of his restaurants. We go way back to the early 90s when I was in The Websters. He loved me. Even offered me a personal contract when i decided to leave. I turned down 52k at the age of 25 because I was spent. What he doesn't know is that I can't sing anymore like I did back then, 20 years ago. Smoking takes its toll. He has a vision of me doing Crooner stuff. Sinatra, Harry Connick, Tom Jones. 3 days a week. Same 1k a week. He's a great business man and knows his shit but I think I'm gonna pass. Nice being remembered though.

Rat a singer?? Yeah, right........I'm sure Rat and this guy have a lot in common..

that's cool - hate that you can't play on your talent anymore though

Sinatra, Sammy and Deano all smoked like chimneys. Quit making excuses and get your ass out there...

It probably wasn't the smoking as much as not using the instrument.

Sinatra had a voice coach. Even with the booze and the cigs, he took care of his instrument.

Yep

Are we really mentioning Rat's "instrument" in the same breath with Sinatra?

Absinthe in moderation, gentlemen.

Thanks. I'm not a night owl anyway. Can't remember the last time I was up past 11.

This pic was supposedly taken on Rt 6 on Cape Cod.. I know that area has had a tremendous amount of snow but doubt if they have this much..

When did they start driving on the left side of the road on Cape Cod?

Hokkaido, Japan

Probably to avoid running over people

I guess I'll be the one to start this ish here...what color is this dress?

Green

Fascinating. Just checked here and it looks different to me by far now than it did this morning (was white, now blue)

Dumbest thing ever.
