And I bet y'all thought I was gonna suggest something like buying a
wrecked Kia that had just come through the "crusher" and "swapping" it
with Rona's new car. Couldn't you see the look on her face when she
came out and saw her "flattened" car after we got someone to go in and
tell her they had "dinged" her car in the parking lot.
I might save that one for later however, but, if you want to have some
"good" fun, then why not get out of the house and go see a great bunch
of kids put on one of the best musicals of our times. That's right,
Shades Valley Theatre is having their final musical of the season with
their production of GREASE! Tickets are dirt cheap, they've got
wheelchair access out the ying yang, and one of the best groups of
actors and technicians they have ever had, assures us of a fantastic show!
As many of you know, Matt, our youngest son, is an integral part of the
Shades Valley Theatre (SVT) scene. This will be his last show for SVT
his senior year there. We just this week accepted a full theatre
scholarship for him at UAB Theatre, so he'll be off to college next
semester. Sadly, SVT will be loosing much of their talent pool with
this final show, and Matt has assured me that this will be their finest
production yet. The seniors are going "all out" to try and make this
single weekend the most memorable show in SVT's history.
Joy and I would love for each and every one of you to come and see the
show, and you have a personal invitation from us. They WILL sell out
EVERY performance for all four days, so if you want to be a part of
history in the making, call and order your tickets as soon as possible.
And I suggest you arrive an hour early for the best parking at the top
where it's flat, and for the best seating as well.
Here's a little sidebar: There will be a lot of leather jackets in this
show, but there will be only ONE, authentic, black leather Harley
Davidson Motorcycle Jacket on stage. It was made in 1973, and was sold
by Wilbur George at HD Sales on 24th Street South and that leather
jacket has seen more "beer, blood and babes" than you'll ever know.
Plus it has over 100,000 miles "in the wind" atop a Midnight Black 1973
Harley Davidson Sportster that was sold the same day as the jacket. The
jacket has flown the club patches of The Devils Deciples - Birmingham,
AL. and The Iron Crossmen - Atlanta, GA. in it's heyday. So how do I
know all of this you ask? Well, you see... I still have the keys to
that Midnight Black 1973 Harley Davidson Sportster, and I still remember
the smile on Wilbur's face as he watched me ride off into the sunset. I
was 15 years old, but I became a man that day.
Hope to see you at the show!
Tim.
