I really did raise emus. They have no fear of people. My family used to send me out by myself, because they were scared to feed the emus.
I had a few dangerous situations with the emus. But, they were also super fun. And when they wanted to be friendly, they were friendly. They loved to be sprayed with water. There were many other unusual things about them. They laid their eggs in the winter time, because they from Australia. The female emu is the dominant one-she is larger and more agressive.
The story about lassoing the emus is absolutely true. We had a neighbor that lived down the road who was a cowboy.
We called him up when the emus got out, and he rode down on his horse and lassoed them.
It's true I did have a lot of time on my hands in that place, and I learned a bunch of instruments.
This medley combines a couple different songs. First Mustang Sally, but with a different keyboard arrangement-something I came up with. Then we switched to Money-That's What I Want. Finally we finish with James Brown's I Feel Good.
I sing, play keys, and do the sax riff. But the keyboard has a job for this show. At the end of the medley, his job is to put the parka on top of me, the same way James Brown used to used to cape.
Please enjoy this medley!
