Me & the boys had another great rehearsal tonight. We had some special song requests from wedding clients that we went over today and one of the songs was "Sherry" by Fankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The whining I heard from my band about learning "Sherry" - "that's some cheesy shit man!" - was even more shrill than the falsetto Frankie Valli sings on the damn song!! However, as we joked our way through it and began working on the vocal harmonies it became apparent that maybe it wasn't so …

"The Arthur Brothers" - That's how my parents used to refer to arthritis. And they had it bad. My dad had osteoarthritis. His joints were deformed by it over the years... swollen knees, knobs on the elbow. He would sometimes complain but only in a joking manner: "Them Arthur brothers got me this morning" My father served in two wars - World War II and in Korea. What's a little arthritic pain compared to taking a bullet on the battlefield and winning a purple heart? I have no such heroics to …
