Hmmm...a trip to the local ASPCA would probably yield at least a half dozen abandoned pitbulls who would love to patrol your backyard and be your life long friend and protector for a plate of Alpo, water, and an affectionate  pat on the head... ;)

Huh? / JOE SAMPLE (CRUSADERS) DEAD AT 75
« on: September 17, 2014, 2307 UTC »
JOE SAMPLE R.I.P. 1939-2014

Joe Sample, who became a jazz star in the 1960s as the pianist with the Jazz Crusaders and an even bigger star a decade later when he began playing electric keyboards and the group simplified its name to the Crusaders, died on September 12, 2014 in Houston. He was 75. The cause was mesothelioma (cancer of the lungs), said his manager, Patrick Rains. Among the albums on which his keyboard work can be heard are Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Steely Dan’s Aja and Gaucho, and several recordings by BB King.

I had the good fortune to see him with the Crusaders opening up for the Rolling Stones in Boston Garden during the 1975 Stones tour. I had never heard of them at the time, but I was immediately impressed as soon as they started the opening number of the show. There was no question that the audience was also very impressed....they blew the walls out of the building!

Found this in my in box in reply to an inquiry with scant details supplied, as I was going to send a full report to them if the email address was correct! Thanks Chris S for providing what turned out to be the correct decryption of one tough ID!
THANKS Jerry!!! Happy to get this one for the Pirate Wall of Fame! Hope to hear some more from 3885 Radio!

Thanks Chris S :) I do believe that is the best approximation of the email address I am hearing over and over again...and it didn't bounce! But then a couple of other combinations of letters didn't either ???
Oh well, I'm sure I've ended up in someone's spam box a few times ;D
