[Dixielandjazz] the dangers of heart stimulation

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

Couldn't help remembering a summer jazz concert here, featuring a small  
(3piece) Dixie band. Halfway through the performance an elderly lady collapsed  
(it was a rest home gig) and the ambulance came screaming up, carried her off,  
and the music went on. Don't know if she was over stimulated or what!
Heck, I don't know if it killed her--
 
I used to jam with a group of old timers who had put together a big band,  
called ourselves the "Brow of the Hill Band"  No one wanted to admit we  were 
over it!! Anyway, the drummer had a bad heart, was warned by his doctor to  quit 
playing drums, refused, and sure enough-went on that year to join the great  
drum line in the sky-
                                                                Ted      (got 
to get those diabetic toes out there  tappin')
