WHAT DID HE SAY?
(Quotes from John Marshall)

  "You bang better than you toot."

  "Swing The Fractions but after each part do the next part."

  "... a perfect example of friendship set to music: 'Get over here!'"

  "There was some breathing and then there was some gasping."


Trailblazers was dark in July for the Independence Day weekend.  I hope you found a fun way to celebrate America's birthday.
