[Dixielandjazz] Re: Tailgate Party

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Don,
You mentioned [in part]: >The ultimate Tailgate Party is for the Green Bay
Packers home games............. People sign up their new born to get on the
waiting list and that babe in arms may be a person of 20's to 30's before
their names are called.<

Melbourne, Australia has a similar establishment - The Melbourne Cricket
Club.
There is the story of one hopeful, in the line for coveted membership since
birth, who went through a very messy divorce.
Yes, you guessed it.
Sometime during his philandering period his wife had cancelled his
membership application!
"I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You."
Kind regards,
Bill.
PS: Tailgate parties (and marquee parties) are a popular feature at the
annual Melbourne Cup. A horse race, first run in 1861.
Some partygoers have even been known to bring along a jazz band!
Listmate and banjoist Tony Orr has probably played one or two over the
years.
Bill.
