I remember these three elephants well. I was an EMPRESS working with them for Kelly Miller on a couple of dates. I watch "SHIRLEY" as much as I can everyday. She is in TENN. Probably not much longer.

Thanks, Rebecca, I was just going to ask if this was the same Shirley. She's a credit to the caretakers of many of her early years, who built her up strong so she could survive the hard knocks life handed her later.

Veering to a different subject --

Australian engineers have made an "air guitar" t-shirt with sensors in the sleeves that link a wearer's elbow movements to musical riffs. Tambourine version too. Elephant blankets of the future could have bulls dancing to music they control -- but the rehearsals could drive you nuts. More opportunities for the class clown.
