Don,
How about Jabbo's

| Dear friend John:
| As a Michigander, I can say that we indeed grow lots of cider apples -- 
but
| for most of the state, we grow more green tomatoes that fat red ones. Too
| short a growing season up my way. We are having the first week of a touch
of
| a February thaw -- got up to 40 F. , but it ain't over yet! We averaged
| about 6-8 degrees lower in all of January than normal -- and normal -
| believe it -- is pretty damn cold in No. Michigan. A couple years ago we
had
| one day when the Fahrenheit and Celsuis scale agreed.
| Minus 40 degrees below freezing. Our wrost here this year -- so far -- was
| an overnight of minus 27 F. -- you do the conversion...we don't do
| metrics..so far!
| However, since this is a jazz forum, there are some jazz content tunes
with
| Michigan names -- try Michigan Waters Blues.
| For big band, try (I've got a gal in) Kalamazoo.
| And for trad jazz, though a flimsey connect, try Wolverine Blues (the last
| wolverine who lived in Michigan did so in the ice age 12, 000 years ago --

| and forget those nick-named Univ. of Michigan types. They really think
| they're from the Ivy League and consider themselves Michi-GAWN-nians.
That's
| like someone at high tea sipping from the cup with their little pinkie
| finger stuck out. Up here where the Michiganders live, any one who stuck
out
| their little pinkie finger at a high beer call would find some Jack Pine
| Savage hanging a pretzal on it..
| How's them tomatoes, Jack?
