Hmmm. I'm saving up my money right now.

Listen, with my luck, I'd hire him and he STILL wouldn't play Riot Act!

How much for Bruce Thomas?

Does the price include the Imposters?

Why don't we all club together and hire him/them?

Yeah, Verbal. We'll do it at your house. I'm sure Mrs. VG would just love that.

She goes to see her mum and dad on a Friday night. We could do it then.

So, how will this work? Everyone will throw in a grand or two and get to pick one song for him to play?

Oh, for $2000 what song would I pick? Maybe Riot Act or maybe I'll Wear It Proudly. Maybe I'll let others pick those favorites. I'll throw in my two grand and ask for either Still or Impatience.

Well, once he figured out who it was, judging from some recent statements, he might double the price.

Maybe we should say it's a Bar Mitvah. I've never actually had one, so I could start Hebrew school now and maybe I'd be ready in time....
