Gerry Rafferty died?

Stuck in the Middle With You reminds me of a John Lennon song.

Yeah, today. Back in November he went into the hospital with liver failure (some news reports said it was kidney failure) and was gravely ill. Although they didn't say today what he died from, other than a long battle with an illness.

I cann see where Stuck in the Middle sounds as though Lennon could have done it.

The sax riff in Baker Street has to be one of the most recognizable ever.

Yeah, right up there with Tequila and Careless Whisper.

I guess Pink Panther transcends them all.

Daughter #3 plays the sax. Pretty well in fact. But when she practices unfailingly our Jack Russell runs up and stands there howling at her, occassionally in tune. Always very loudly. Once in a while stick his nose in the bell. Never thinks to leave the room.

His howling is always worst when she is playing The Pink Panther Theme.

Never when she practices violin, only sax.

Everyone's a music critic :)

That is hilarious.

Those dogs are such a crackup. I may have to make a Jack Russell my next dog.
