Cheapchick: The body language of the one in the dark life vest sure looked like that. The other guy was trying to look cool, I think. Ride 'em, cowboy!
Funny thing, balder half would love to do this. The man can't swim and our cruises make him nervous. I'm basically a fish but would never do this! I do value my neck (when I can find it). Love, love, love The Manhattan Transfer!
Debra: The group still performs, although Tim Hauser died in 2014 and was replaced by Trist Curless. I haven't seen a recent performance. Oh, how I loved them. I saw them in NYC (I think at the Bottom Line in The Village... and I think it was 1975).
Would have done this in a flash back in the 70's and 80's! Looks like fun! It reminded me of my first time on water skis........I let go a lot!! Great photos as usual, Mitchell.

I do feel like I'm about to drown sometimes, albeit not literally.
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteSame here. And not even at times I might expect to feel that way.

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love The Manhattan Transfer!
Deedles:
DeleteIt looks like a bit of fun. But not enough to make me risk MY neck either. I adore the Manhattan Transfer.
I loved Manhattan Transfer back in the day. I wonder if they're still recording? Probably not, they'd all be geriatrics by now, I suppose.

ummmmmmmm, manhattan transfer. NO WAY would I EVER be caught doing the above; I can't swim and have a fear of water.

DeleteThis at first looks like fun to me. But only at first. Fumes. Noise. Whiplash
Looks like great fun to me.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI'm not so sure. I'll watch you and will take pictures.

Jim:
DeleteJerry was a good water skier. I never even tried it. I'm braver now than I was in the '70s but I think I'm also a bit smarter.
"Slow down!"
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteI hate the noise, the fumes and pollution, and I'd be afraid of whiplash.
Water is so blue

DeleteThe colors here are unbelievable. (And I was having coffee when I first read your comment.)
Desperately hanging onto what I know and enjoy, afraid of the adventure that is just a plunge away - sounds like life.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteYep. And sometimes I don't even know what it is I'm holding on to!
Been there..... figuratively.
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteI feel like I'm there often!
