Listen to this audio clip of a portion of the Katie Couric interview of Sarah Palin. Prove me wrong when I say: "You'd have to be mentally impaired to believe Sarah Palin is capable of being the Vice President or potentially the President of the United States of America" after listening to this air headed anwer to a very important question by Couric. Shouldn't we expect more from a woman who could one day be the next President of the USA? Are we comfortable with the dumbing down of the Presidency? Was she the most qualified Republican woman John McCain could find? This isn't a beauty queen we are voting for. Give me a break!

Somewhere in the mix of sounds you will hear the sound of my trumpet. I never sat 1st chair first -not even close, but I loved being in the stage band. This was to my knowledge the first competition of the Muscle Shoals High School Stage Band which was held in Savannah, Tennessee in 1976. The Stage Band was under the direction of Mr. Charles M. Stratford. There were six trumpets in the band at the time. Doug H., Tim M., Kevin S., Wes W., John L. and me. But I'm not saying my real name here. This was one of three songs performed at the competition. A friend in the band used my cassette recorder to record the performance. The quality is bad. But I think you can see that aside for some mixing board problems, i.e., the Tenor sax solo is way to loud, everything came together quite nicely. Solo Trumpet is Doug H.

If everything works out as planned "Paul in London" and his lover, Michael will be here in Pelham next weekend.

John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a Pro life Republican woman to be his Vice Presidential running mate.
