We may address you as Fu Yuen, but it will be worth it.
08-11 19:50
Rush:
And, I plan to bring a few Hawaiian shirts.
08-11 19:50

Godwinshelley:
Mike & Rachel – I have large size shirts I could bring if that size would fit you
08-11 19:52
Mike n Rachel in Ypsilanti:
GS…did you learn the chords for Ming Lo Fu’s song?
08-11 19:52
Nothere:

08-11 19:52
Godwinshelley:
In my own plunking way, I can make a small amount of music
08-11 19:53
Phil & Mrs Phil:
Well, we’re missing the real cop.
08-11 19:53
Rush:
Music, plunked or picked….always welcome!
08-11 19:53
Mike n Rachel in Ypsilanti:
I’m a large for sure…Rachel could make large work
08-11 19:53
Godwinshelley:
I didn’t learn chords – just the tune – and tried the strumming chords but that Am to Gm is a killer for me
08-11 19:53
Mike n Rachel in Ypsilanti:
a group rendition of the Song of Princess Ming Lo Fu?
08-11 19:54
Rush:
M/R:
Perhaps!
08-11 19:54
Godwinshelley:
I’m bringing two ukuleles so hopefully someone can either do the tune or the strumming to fill it out
One has a low G string for those low notes
08-11 19:54
Rush:
I need to have Lou get the Powerpoints to me for the library presentation.
08-11 19:55

08-11 19:55
Godwinshelley:
Where do we find the bookmarks?
08-11 19:55

Dead men may walk and talk, but they never tell
08-11 19:56
tenman:
Funny sheriff!
08-11 19:57
Rush:
I think he is going to have his sister get me at the airport, and he can have everything to me through her, perhaps.
08-11 19:57

Again…Sheriff Mack is a memorable Monogram Chan character!
08-11 19:59

Why did you put on your pajaymas? Aren’t you supposed to be helping catch the killer?

Clue!
08-11 20:00

Dropping like flies…
