Before my daughter Candis (pictured above at the Roxy) became a Supermom she was a singer/songwriter who performed all over the LA area including the Whiskey and the Roxy. (click on picture below to hear a sample of her work) 
One day she said to me, Dad I live in the record capital of the world, I work for a record company so you’d think that I’d have a record deal by now. Not only am I not signed but I can’t even get any of the record folks to come out to see us. Hey you lived in Transcona which is in the middle of nowhere yet you released four records, how did you do that. So I told her the truth … I was too stupid to know I couldn’t honey.

  1. George you really do collect some gem sayings. Some make me chuckle out loud. For example, “I’ve been a grandfather for over 11 years now and both of my daughters are still waiting for me to act like it.” LOL Don’t listen to em George. Stay the young dog you are.

  2. When you open the mic, you apparently have a lot longer than 4 seconds to get the attention of a juvenile mind. How else would you explain Howard Stern’s amazing success?
    Did you know, if you listen very closely, you can still hear the nerdy tufted fairway dweller yelling “baba-booey”? How proud must their mothers be? Most probably still live in their mother’s basement.

    • Howard used to have the minds of juveniles long before he opened the Mic but he got my attention when he said by saying that James Taylor was going to be on his show today and I said to myself … Gotta hear this ’cause I can’t even imagine it.
