Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the day started for the keeper and Phyllis with sipping and listening to a jazz trio at “The Cider Farm” Sunday afternoon; and it morphed into an evening at home with Phyllis searching out the old stuff of Ella and Louie and Billie and Bing and Nate, whereby the keeper was pretty much rendered into a bowl of hopeless 1940-50’s Jello.
It was the era of big bands, scat singers, jazz and slow dancing, when the keeper was young and Phyllis was younger.
