Why.Grow>Up?

A king enrolled his donkey in a race & won.

Next morning, the local newspaper read:

“KING’s ASS WON”

King was so upset with this publicity he gave the donkey to queen.

The local newspaper then read:

“QUEEN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN”

King fainted. Queen sold donkey to a farmer for $10.

Next day newspaper read:

“QUEEN SELLS HER ASS FOR $10”

This was too much. King ordered the queen to buy back the donkey & leave it in the jungle.

The next day’s headlines:

“QUEEN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS NOW WILD & FREE”

In continuation to my last post, here is a YouTube playlist of some of my favourite Jazz tracks. 

The beat goes on… Yes! You are absolutely spot on. It is indeed Buddy Rich. Jazz- the music lover’s music, as it originated, still binds people together. It came about as a confluence, a merger, classic east meets west. Jazz is indeed the true world music.
