We've been looking for a song that might work for the both of us to perform, but our voices are different enough that finding one that would work is difficult. I ran across this oldie today, however, and wonder what you think.

I dunno, but, I'm willing to give it another try. But, this time, I think I should do the girl part. The last seven times we tried, you insisted on being the girl, and, well, we both know how well that turned out. Frankly, you're a good enough chap and all, but you just look like crap in a dress. Maybe, if you didn't ..., no, even that would help.
But, if you can set aside your fetish for the sake of the act, I think the Johnny and June thing just might work. I still have an in at the Shooting Star Indian Casino in Mahnomen, so if we can get our act ironed out, I got us a stage.

I appreciate your candor, and now it's my turn to be honest.
I really didn't want to play the girl part, but didn't have the heart to turn down Bill's generous offers of outfits that he's been insisting on lending me these past seven years. If we can work that out with him, and you're willing to turn things around, I'm all in. I hear that Mahnomen is beautiful in January, and heavily populated by tourists from Arizona heading north.

Bill does have a delightful closet, but, how many men have the curves (and courage) to wear those outfits of his without embarrassing themselves and everyone else in the room? I shall forego the Lady Gaga meets Betty Boop look even if it means [shudder] borrowing a dress from Russell and going as June Cleaver.

I would opt for the Sinatra/Hazelwood arrangement if for no other reason than the wardrobe choice of go-go boots.
(Hey look! It's Howard singing with Nancy Sinatra!)

I have no problem with that, Paul. Russell might not be a vixen, but he is cute in an Aunt Bea sort of way.

You guys who are Ruben-esque, remember that layering is your friend. Or draping. Or tarping.

You could always do this one. But you'll have to fight over who gets the "sniffin' my undies" line.

Paul, Bill called us fat.

No, he called us "Ruben-esque". Ruben is the guy that invented that cube thing for smart people. So, I think he called us smart and inventive. The tarping thing, well, that's what all smart people do with their inventions and stuff before they can patent them and get rich. So, Bill is suggesting that we cover up our stuff until we can get it copyrighted and get rich.
Good advice, that.
(and magnanimous, considering the structural damage you did to that last dress he lent you)

I just think the right choice of material will solve all those problems.
No need to thank me.

No he means that no matter how you turn and twist, it just don't look right. And I generally go for the Betty White look. More age-appropriate, doncha know. |

Hmm....
That could work ...
What do you think, Todd?

I'm not sure, Paul. The more songs, the more work involved. I'm kind of wondering if we start at the Manhomen if it would work to sing Jackson over and over again, take a break, than sing Jackson for a couple more hours. Thoughts?

That Youtube isn't coming up for me, Lar, but the fact that you offered another tune for the set makes me rethink my original idea of singing Jackson over and over, and I appreciate that. While the idea of doing Jackson over and over might not have been thought out very well, I'm wondering if a slight twist might turn it into a thing of brilliance.
Since we can start at the Shooting Star, start out the set exchanging Jackson with the referent Shooting Star. Next, change Jackson to Seven Clans, then Northern lights, then Mystic Lake, etc, until all 15 casinos in the state have been covered. Casinos compete and I can't help but imagine the other casinos watching Shooting Star, the rest will want us, and there's 15 gigs right there. Maybe I'm thinking too big, and if you think so, Paul, please set me back on the ground with your indelible ability of seeing common sense.
