I was working at the Twin Coaches the weekend when it burned down. Sammy Davis, Jr was performing there. I was working the lighting crew for his show. We did 2 shows Friday night, 2 shows Saturday, and was scheduled for a matinee show on Sunday. When I showed up to work Sunday they said there had been a fire in the kitchen and the club was closed the show was cancelled. It didn't look like major damage. When I got up the next day my brother told me the place had burned to the ground overnight. I didn't believe him at first and said I was there and the fire was out. The offical story was the fire had flaired up again overnight and totally destroyed the club. As for Sammy's show, I was only 20 at the time not exactly my kind of music, but even today I still recall that was one of the best live shows I have ever seen. He was a true professional and a great entertainer.

Sammy indicated to me that his intent is to haunt you each and every Halloween by sh*tting on your porch. This was channeled to me by Lorna Garber from her grave.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Aquarius

You're in a tricky position because someone who is supposed to know what they're talking about seems to be spouting complete nonsense instead. If this is an older friend or relative then you can simply smile politely and wait for them to rejoin the rest of us on Planet Earth. But if it's a boss or bureaucrat who's talking rubbish or giving you some puzzling orders, you'll be in a quandary about what to do.
