jazz wednesday

Are you Hep to tha jive? Greetings Jazziods! Welcome back to the WigglyBoot. Well today its Wednesday and for some reason I designated Wednesdays for Jazz, and unlike Jack Cust
who is designated to hit but rarely does, ill try to keep up.



First I'll start with Nat King Cole in Sweet Lorraine(apparently its "after Midnight Sessions" thats when shit gets real hep!)



Now the next song is a requirement that I "bumb" once a day.

Its Sweet Lorraine(Lorraine must of had that snazzy-chassis!) by Oscar Peterson & Count Basie !! Dayum talk about the dynamic duo.



The reason why Wednesday is jazz day here, last summer I discovered from a homie about a nice lil Jazz & Blues restaurant in Pioneer square the New Orleans creole , and every Wednesday The Legacy Quartet w/Clarence Acox performs and I would go almost every week, I suggest you do the same thing, very delicious JAMBALAYA or GUMBO with a pint of Mak and Jacks in the summer is just what any Jazzoid needs.

Until next time payce!

Introduction

Hail fellow wordslingers! Welcome to the "Wiggly Boot" blog. Whats a "wordslinger"? Or a "Wiggly Boot"? We can get to that later. First a little bit about myself.

I'm Demosthenes, Loren's doppelganger. Since Loren doesn't know how to write a "blog" he hired me.(100$ monopoly monies per day sounds good to me, some day ill get in to plark place.)

Contrary to the blog's name and background picture, we don't know much about "soccer". Wiggly boot just sounded like a nice pseudonym to name it. Here I can try to explain wiggly boot.



Notice exhibit A, his boot is in the in the Über wiggle fashion while me exhibit B is non-existent. How that was not a foul perplexes me I daresay.

Here is what I plan to reveal as topics other than soccer in this blog, things that I "wigg" out on.

Ill just stick to these for a foundation since I'm a n00b at blogging.

Also wordslinger is a word I think Stephan King made up for authors, in his Dark Tower series, the protagonist Roland is a "gunslinger".

Until next time readers.

Long days and pleasant nights.
