Jazz Artist

When you listen to creativity and jazz melodies played by Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Lee Konitz, Paul Desmond, Cannonball & Nat it is hard to find pleasure in listening to the current Jazz Musicians.

AMC Stubs Card

I received this response from the AMC Theaters when I found out they have a limit on the time you can redeem your points on their Stubs Card.  There is never any mention of this on any print advertising or by the person selling you the Stubs Cars when you purchase it.  This is very bad business on the part of yet another giant Corp.    I am still amazed how the big corporations fine ways to cheat their customers and think it is OK.  

“There is an expiration date on all rewards. All rewards must be redeemed within 90 days.”  This never appears in any advertising including the one in the theater or again by the person selling the memberships! 

Dear Rheuben,

Thank you for contacting AMC Theaters regarding our reward program, AMC Stubs. 

As soon as you pass the $100 earnings threshold, your $10 reward will be immediately and automatically deposited on your AMC Stubs membership card. Please be aware that rewards will not be automatically applied to your next purchase. Unexpired rewards may be redeemed only via a card swipe at participating AMC Theatre locations in the US by presenting your card in connection with a purchase and letting the AMC theatre staff know that you want to redeem the rewards. Rewards are not redeemable online. 

There is an expiration date on all rewards. All rewards must be redeemed within 90 days.

How I met the Great Saxophonist & Musician Eddie Harris

I was setting in my Sax Shop in Los Angeles one day when a guy waked in the front door.  Now I know who he was even thought we have never meet.  He was Eddie Harris..  He walked over to my bench where I was working and said "I am having trouble playing my high notes and need your help"  Well this is Eddie Harris and he can play as high on the saxophone as anyone alive.  I thought I do not want to get into talking about high notes with Eddie Harris.  He turned his back to me and took out his sax so I could not see it.  He started to try to play.  All I heard was squeaks......   It was really bad.....   He turned around and said "I don't know what the problem is"  apparently he had closed the car door on his neck and it went at a right angle... and was very flat in the center....  He looked at me and started laughing....  And that was how I met Eddie.....  He had just come in to find a new neck which I happened to have.... but wanted to have some fun before asking me if I had one....

Trickle down No. 2

I also forgot to mention that if the government had invested that money in small business....   the small business would be paying taxes and creating income for the government.   Because as we all know and hear everyday the large corporations do not pay taxes and move their production and head offices out of the country taking the money they make with them. The Small Business money stays and gets spent in the US.

Trickle Down Theory

I have a new T-Shirt that says. "The trickle down theory only works when taking a leak".  We have a president that talks about taxing the rich as he gives the large corporations trillions of dollars.  If that same money had been invested in small business there would be new jobs, less drain on the taxpayers because unemployment would be down and we might stand a chance getting back on track.  The government takes money from the poor and middle class then gives it to the rich.  He ain't no Robin Hood.  You can buy and ware that T-Shirt from www.rheubenallen.com

CBS TV Online Sucks

I have been trying to watch the full episodes of many of the CBS shows.  Each time when an ad comes on it takes the show from full screen back to the small box or completely stops the show.  I have had a lot of trouble seeing the end of any show.  I do not recommend watching these shows until CBS works out the bugs.

I have recently started a new T-Shirt business and would love it if you would go to www.rheubenallen.com and check them out ad let me know what you think.  Most every thing is on what I call the Lighter Dark Side.  Hope a few of you can see the humor in my work.
Thanks
