Dear Alwight,
Are you upset that I used to be a bartender? I was a waiter and busboy too in 5-star restaurants. Learned how to cook too. I used to make great drinks too...exotic drinks for a Chinese Restaurant and also another restaurant. I drank two skull drinks once and they creep up on you. It had one shot each of Don Q 151 Rum, one dark rum, one light Bacardi rum, etc. and it was like doing 5 Long Island Iced Teas. Plus I was a waiter in a 5-star restaurant. Once I got a $60 tip from a couple that had just gotten engaged. Cool eh!!?? I was shocked. Their meal was cheaper than the tip! Ahh, the good old days. Most of my jobs I quit. I kept trying to advance and make more money. I got up to 14.14/hr. at one job, which was Great pay back in the 80s. I met Joan Rivers, the rock group Queen, and many others (like Phil Donahue, etc.). Joan was so polite and giving. She really had quite a good heart and the rest of her is an act, that's all. Well, that was face lifts ago. They had a bottle of wine for $10,000. But it wasn't drinkable by then. Still, Queen bought a couple bottles of wine for $1,000 each. That was when I was 21 and Salli was 20. I also auditioned at a 5-star restaurant in Florida. Sang and played 12-string guitar. After the Holy Ghost visited me about Cat Stevens, I sounded just like him. My own voice was gone. It was cool. It's been a life. My mom said 'Al, do you hear how he's singing? Do you hear what he's singing about? My bedroom was in the basement right under the family room. I was singing the song 'Peace Train' and had a visit by the Holy Spirit, which I will tell you about some time. In an instant, I understood the song Peace Train and I started singing it again, and my voice had changed and I sounded just like Cat Stevens. Cool, eh? Well, this is getting lengthy. Will chat with you more soon.
May God's Love Wrap Around You,
Michael
