Buckgram

With the return of Buckwheat Zydeco to NYC tomorrow night I've decided to send him another one of my famous letters.


Dear Mr. Zydeco,

It’s me Sherb! How are you doing? I just found out that you are coming to New York City on Friday. Arlo and I are going to get tickets. We still love you. Should we go to the early show or the later show? I bet you rock at both shows. I think we are going to go to the early show. We danced at your last show in New York at B. B. King’s. Did you know that B. B. King was sick and had to cancel some of his shows? I hope you don’t get sick. If you start to get a cough you should take a cold-eze. They have zinc. Oranges have vitamin C. That’s good for you too.

If you let me know what you are going to wear on Friday I’ll wear the same thing. I want to be just like you. You’re the greatest in my book. I’m pretty sure you’re the greatest in Arlo’s book too but he does have some CDs by other Zydeco people like Clifton. You used to play with Clifton didn’t you? Was he a nice guy like you?

Well I have to go now. I can’t wait to see you on Friday. It’s going to be a lot of fun. You should yell my name out. Then I’ll wave at you. I’ll still wave at you even if you don’t yell my name. Remember, we are going to go to the early show. You’re the best. Take care Mr. Zydeco.
Love,
Sherb

I will never ever get tired of reading this shit... all of the Buckwheat Zydeco Chronicles... literary classics that belong right up there with "Letters from a Nut."
