Ok then!  

I thought I'd posted these links yesterday but apparently not!  However, Aloha did a find job explaining.

Also -  I'm traveling with my ex - so we'll be mingling with the Solos, too.  :)

Why that's lovely, and such an amazing likeness of... a rather mysterious woman...

 I look more like the smiley-face painter! LOL  

Here AlohaFLA we all chipped in and had a portrait painted of you

Sorry  -- I don't have a good photo of me to post!  I don't even have a sketch!  

Wait  - here's a very small likeness of me smiling while lying on my side:     :) 

simply-cruising – guess you were following tntmoms in here to make sure they would not get lost on the solo site – gotta watch those solos!

tntmoms – what were you doing following “the dog” - were you in my sled (sleigh for some) or sumtin’???  And R U calling Weeble sloppy – what gives!?!

And I’ll raise you all - Santana, Cream, Country Joe, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding, Big Brother, Janis and Jimi – and “call” it a night!

This is a solo thread.  Are you lost?

Okay -- it's from a skit that was on Saturday Night Live about 5 years ago...  Christopher Walken played the music producer who produced "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.  He kept wanting the band to add more cowbell to the song...  Will Ferrell played the cowbell guy, and he got kinda carried away in playing the cowbell.

 Anyway, Walken's character walked in the studio and said "I've got a fever!  And the only prescription is: More Cowbell!"

 
So, it's kind of a weird culty saying -- it's on t-shirts and stuff.  'Cause what other classic rock song has cowbell in it?  And, that was the whole point of the skit.
