Cuzzin Ricky remembers

My sister had some skank girlfriends I remember the coo coo clock on your folk's living room wall.  When Bill and I slept at your place in Towson, the damned thing would wake us up "on the hour"   I remember your Dad's push-button transmission Plymouth           1958 Plymouth Savoy that you blew the tranney on.   I remember visiting you in Towson, and the big sport after a day of sightseeing, was watching the adults down Manhattans, while we picked Japanese Beetles off of the roses.   I remember the player piano in your basement in Chicago, that we'd swap spools in, and "pump away"   I remember visiting you in Severna Park on weekends, when I worked in D.C...... and becoming the center of attention, doing my "Jorge Thing"  (Good bye....how are you?")   I remember BJ rehearsing her "Banana Boat" routine with her girlfriend, ......again..... in the basement of your house in Chicago.   I remember a lot  ..... all great!  But most of all, I remember when you tried to describe to my Mom  who James Brown was......   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tfNhL_R_rI   Cuzzin Ricky           Took him to his first skin flick
