BELOW IS A TRANSCRIPT OF A PHONE CONVERSATION BETWEEN YOU AND AN OPERATIVE NAMED ZOE…WE BELIEVE HE IS A DANGEROUS AND CUNNING MAN WHO IS DECEITFUL AND SELF SERVING—VERY UNAMERICAN TRAITS…IN ADDITION, WE HAVE PROOF THAT HE FAILED TO HONOR HIS OBLIGATION TO SUBMIT HIS ARTICLE ON SHCEDULE…THE EVIDENCE IS OUTLINED IN THE PHONE CONVERSATION TRANSCIPT BELOW: 11AM MONDAY ZOE: HELLO. THE DUDE: HEY ZOE. HOW’S THIS MONTH’S ARTICLE GOING? ZOE: GREAT, I JUST SAW THE BAND LAST FRIDAY AT THE TURNING STONE CASINO. THE DUDE: WHO’D YOU SEE? ZOE: BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY. DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THEM? THE DUDE: BIG BAW VOODY WHAT? ZOE: BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY. THEY PLAY SWING STYLE MUSIC…IT’S LIKE A SEVEN PIECE BAND-WITH TRUMPETS, SAXES, TROMBONES, UPRIGHT BASS…THE LEAD SINGER SCOTTY MORRIS, PLAYED GUITAR, AND THERE WAS A KEYBOARDIST AND OF COURSE DRUMS. THE COOL THING WAS WHERE I GOT TO SIT. IF YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TO THE SHOWROOM AT THE TURNING STONE CASINO, YOU’RE MISSING OUT. IT’S SMALL, VERY NICE—NO SMOKING (YEAH!!!) AND WHILE THEY DON’T SERVE ALCOHOL (BOO!), THEY SELL MIXERS AND YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN (YEAH!)…PEOPLE WERE THERE WITH COOLERS OF BEER AND BOOZE! (I GROUGHT A PINT OF RUM FOR ME AND MY DATE…WE DRANK RUM AND COCA-COLA)…I GOT TO SIT RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE…THE HORN PLAYERS DANCED WILDLY AROUND THE STAGE--IN FACT, THE STAGE WAS MY ARMREST. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO MOVE MY HANDS TO KEEP MY FINGERS FROM GETTING STEPPED ON! IT WAS REALLY GREAT…THEY HAD SWING DANCERS BOPPIN' AWAY IN THE AISLES…THEY WERE PART OF THE SHOW…THEY TOOK REQUESTS FROM THE CROWD AND FOR AN ENCORE, THEY STARTED TO PLAY SWEET HOME ALABAMA…IT WAS A REAL HOOT. THE DUDE: I’VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM. WHERE DO THEY PLAY, IN SYRACUSE? ZOE: NO, THEY’RE A TOURING BAND. THEY’VE GOT A COUPLE ALBUMS OUT. THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A NEW ONE OUT SOMETIME IN MAY. THE DUDE: AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING ABOUT LOCAL MUSIC? ZOE: WELL, THEY WERE PLAYING LOCALLY. AND BESIDES IT WAS A UNIQUE SHOW THAT I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. PLUS THE CASINO HAS A LOT OF GREAT ACTS THAT YOU CAN SEE LIKE CLOSE UP AND IN PERSON. I JUST THINK WE SHOULD ALSO EXPOSE PEOPLE TO COOL THINGS AND PLACES THAT SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC IN THE AREA. THE DUDE: WELL, WHATEVER. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR STORY DONE ON TIME THIS MONTH. ZOE: NO PROBLEM, I’VE GOT A WHOLE WEEK! |
