They are certainly much mor e relaxed about speed in SoCal, here in SA most highways are 68MPH but you can only crib about 3MPH before the cops get
nasty and in the eastern states- VIC, NSW its most 60MPH max with no over limit tolerance and speed cameras everywhere - good revenue raiser

My contract as customer service agent at Prijsvrij got extended, so I guess it wasn't a bad day - except I got next to no sleep.
Have a Bossche Bol. My treat.

DZ is playing San Francisco in August, the band is; Scheila Gonzalez (saxophone, flute, keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Kurt Morgan (bass, vocals) and
Ryan Brown (drums, percussion, vocals) and two new members guitarist Zach Tabori and keyboardist Bobby Victor...Its a tricky date for me schedule wise
but I can't miss this if at all possible it has been over 4 years...

Trombone was a big part of that era's sound. I'm also not sure I like his mash up idea.

In one notable case of brain fart, I left the cheese I bought at the office. Went there to get it. It's 0 min cycling, then 20 mins train and 7
minutes walk there so I did some shopping in 's-Hertogenbosch as well. Very nice town.

Long winter? What do you mean? We had maybe one day or two with a little bit of snow this winter season and it's currently unseasonably warm.

Took Dad to see Gruppo Sportivo live to their tour stop in 's-Hertogenbosch, giving me extra mileage out of my train suscription and a lot of
earworms.

Total respect for the band, playing perfectly fine and having 3 shows a week planned - frontman is 76 years old, the drummer, keyboard player and of
course the fantastic Bombitas are in roughly the same age category. Tour is called "Let's age on stage".
Here's part of the show at a different location, showing off the showwomanship of the Bombitas:

It is good when the musicians can keep performing well into old age.
Sadly the bands that I liked back in the day didn't sound good after about 1980. Half of the members are dead now.

Enough of the old age thing. I'm 68 and
just getting started. I swim a kilometre 3 times a week to stay fit and have a diet that is mostly pretty healthy. Fanaticism with diet is boring and
unnecessary, you can make enough adjustments to keep healthy, without sacrificing the pleasure.
The truth is, and always has been, that youth is wasted on the young. When you're young, it's still important to keep fit and eat well, it's just
easier to get away with not doing that.

That sounds like quite sophisticated seventies pop and a fine song title to boot. I recall the band's name from way back so they must have had some UK
sucess at some point. I'm more familiar with Focus in terms of NL bands though.
