DEAR FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS: THERE'S AN AXIOM IN SHOW BUSINESS THAT SAYS "THE SHOW MUST GO ON". WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WORKED IN A TRAVELING THEATER TROUPE. ONCE IN AN OLD RUN DOWN THEATER IN A LITTLE TOWN FAR AWAY, I WAS READY TO PLAY MY PART BUT BEHIND THE STAGE, THERE WAS A LOOSE PIECE OF WOOD WITH NAILS STICKING OUT AND I HURT MY HAND WITH THE NAILS. WITH MY HAND BLEEDING I CAME OUT AND DID MY PART. THE SHOW DIDN'T STOP. ONCE I KNEW OF AN ACTOR WHO WASN'T FEELING GOOD DURING A PERFORMANCE BUT HE DIDN'T STOP TILL THE END OF THE PLAY. WHEN THE FINAL CURTAIN CAME DOWN, HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK RIGHT BEHIND THE CURTAIN. THE SHOW MUST GO ON. I REMEMBER IN 1963, WHEN JFK WAS ASSASSINATED, AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK, THE NEXT DAY THE RADIO WAS PLAYING MUSIC AS USUAL, MOVIE THEATERS AND BROADWAY SHOWS WERE OPEN AND RUNNING... AFTER THE FAILED ATTEMPT TO KILL PRESIDENT TRUMP, I STOPPED POSTING THE MUSIC AND FUNNY CARTOONS SECTIONS. THE NEWS WERE TOO BIG TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO OLDIES AND LOONEY TUNES BUT TRUMP IS ALIVE AND KICKING. TIME TO KEEP TOUCHING EVERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT AND ALSO REMEMBERING THE OLDIES AND FUNNY TOONS OF OUR YOUTH. THE LAST TIME I POSTED THE OLDIES, IT WAS A RECORDING OF THE INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'I FEEL GOOD' BY MONGO SANTAMARIA ORCHESTRA, RECORDED FROM A FOREIGN RADIO STATION AND I PROMISED MONGO SANTAMARIA'S BIGGEST RADIO HIT OF THE 60s. HERE IT IS: 'WATERMELON MAN'. ENJOY IT!
