My brother.
**sigh**
He is a kind of aimless guy, as far as careers go. He has it all together otherwise, but he can’t quite figure out what he wants to be when he grows up.
He’s 37.
He has always dreamed of being a rock star, and he called the other day just bursting with the news that he has his first paying gig–at his very own hotel, no less!
He manages an exclusive hotel in Malibu, and will be singing in one of the lounges on Friday nights with a Real Live Star.
No, not Beyonce.
No, not Pink, or even Daughtry.
He will be accompanied by the one and only…um..whats-his-name, the pianist for Rod Stewart.
If that isn’t impressive enough, he gets to PAY for the privilege. That’s what is meant by “paying gig,”–he has to actually pay whats-his-name to play piano FOR him.
And, he is willing to do it.
**sigh**
I wish he’d just stick to online ministry and surfing.

This is going to go over like William Shatner at Bonaroo, isn’t it? |

I think Shatner probably rocks harder than either whats-his-name or my brother. |

So I guess “Keep On Lovin’ You” may as well be “Fade to Black” for him, huh? Tell him to play Wheel in the Sky. |

He met Steve Perry once, and said he almost started speaking in tongues. |

I wanted to be a famous country star but found my fame writing a journal on KCL. Which pays about the same as my country career |

If he were MY brother, I’d call him up and start blasting really bad Rod Stewart songs into the phone. |

his taste in music is just cause for a study of brain cell abnormality. |

Now, now EF I am almost 65. At least he doesn’t play a banjo like my brother or the steel guitar. He plays things like White Christmas then it snows. Someone ought to break his fingers. |

I could maybe hook him up with Boy George. Iain’s daughter met him the other night when she was working at a gay bar. In her words, he is “nothing special…just a fatty in a hatty!” |

Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me you’ve suggested he video tape his performance and post it on his chruch (aka website). |

I don’t know. Hearing him sing, “Holding Back the Years,” might not be appropriate for church/website. |

I may have to do that. I think we have a video of him singing Losing My Religion. That was the one where he had two pigtails. |
