To be honest, the licking-to-death scenario is by far the most likely. ---

The only reason **Shodan** bought the soundtrack to _The Last Waltz_ is that someone told him that the group used to be called “the Hawks.” He couldn’t resist the appeal of the name. **SA** , if you haven’t given the Band a moment’s thought in the last 30 years, then you haven’t seen the movie. Should be required viewing. Nothing wrong with smooth jazz by the right artist. I’m a Paul Desmond, Stan Getz, Miles Davis, Chet Baker kinda gal myself. I’ll bet **Shodan** likes Pat Boone. 😃 ---

But **Sam** , do you have the four CD remastered version of _The Last Waltz_? That’s the **real** rest of your adoration. ---

When I think smooth jazz I think Kenny G. Then I go into a murderous rage. Zoe: Thanks. Now I have to spend a bundle of money. ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > When I think smooth jazz I think Kenny G. Then I go into a murderous rage. Couldn’t blame ya, there. Think Paul Hardcastle/Jazzmasters, Kirk Whalum, Boney James, Fourplay, etc., instead. You’ll be much happier. ---

Or just veer off into the blues. Any Susan Tedeschi fans out there? Jonny Lang? ---

I guess you could call it classy, but to me it often comes off as - well - an affected classiness. And sometimes it just comes of as incongruous. > [@Hyperbolic Parody of Shodan](#): > > Lick my asshole you weenie liberal buttwipe. > > Regards, > Shodan 😃 ---
