Do you remember that old cartoon Tom and Jerry?  That was my favorite cartoon.  What about you?
I loved Tom and Jerry, it was quite old tho, when was it first created?
I believe it's quite old...from the 40's I think?
Wow that is really old, I wonder if they ever won any awards?
I don't have any of that information in front of me, but YOU do.  You tell me, did they get awards?
Haha my bad, seems they did win a few awards, 7 academy awards to be exaxt.
I did not know that.  That is really interesting, actually.  Who knew?  It's kind of fun to imagine my grandmother watching it back then.  How many episodes do you think there are?
After all the revivals and extra shorts they added it seems to have added up to 164!
You're kidding!  That is so cool.  Who invented them, I think I know the name...it's on the tip of my tongue...?

I haven't played for the whole time that I haven't been in the band, but some of the really old songs I remember more. You do really notice the difference in the really early songs. It was as exciting as it was when I was 17."
