. . . Love Isn't Always On Time (woah woah woah)!"

Or at least so says Toto in a timbre that Michael McDonald, aka this guy (JD Ryznar, spearhead of the Yacht Rock¹ movement, if you will) deemed "not smooth enough" to qualify as an appropriate karaoke-fied representation of Yacht Rock. "Africa, girls . . . Africa," he said, after vehemently removing Jess (in for the weekend -- hooray!) and I from the entry list with swipes of indelible sharpie. Fortunately for everyone present, greased palms and sweet-talkin' made that sharpie delible and we were able give a weak (yet brilliant in its own right) performance. We won neither Koko's harpoon nor Ian Anderson tickets, but when all was said and done we walked away with the "Steely Dan" glossy featured below and signed by, mmm, neither of the guys in the picture. But still . . .



¹If you haven't seen before, I recommend either Gino (The Manager) or Rosanna
