Washington, a iazzsaxonhonist
who performed last year at the
Township Auditorium, started
playing many instruments when he
was eight-years-old ? piano,
organ, bass, drums and saxophone.
He went on the road with a band
when he was 16 and later played as
a sideman for other jazz
musicians.
Washington's present album
"Live at the Bijou," was number

I have recently been told by the humans on
The Gamecock staff that this will be my last
column for the spring semester. And, considering
that I am leaving USC in May, this will
be the last of the words of horse sense that you
will be subject to.
To those among you who have consistently
read this column, I offer my sympathy. You
must be awfully bored to listen to a talking
horse ramble on about nothing. To those of vou
who are unable to read, I suggest that you tune
in to Sesame Street. That's where I learned how
to talk.
As I sit here, wiping tears of sadness from my
blinders, I must say I will miss writing for you.
You have been such a consistent and apathetic
group of readers, I have decided to dedicate
this last column to you.
AND WHAT did I eain from this spmpstw'c
wimpful attempt at writing? I lost the respect
of all of my fellow horses when I decided to try
dancing at a disco, the only public recognition
of my column was a semi-prekindergarten
haste letter from a Bee Gees fan, and many of
my peers resent me, because they say that I am
just not a funny horse.
So what happens when a fellow tries to run
the Carolina Cup and loses ... do they hate him

for trying? No, but if you should crack a bad
joke, people get all over your case. I think it's
time that we stop taking life so seriously that
we discourage laughter. I believe that laughter
is appropriate in just about any situation . . .
especially when watching the Tomorrow Show.
Life is losing its zest (and Camay, too)! Is it
possible that you humans are following the path
of Woody Allen, and have become anhedonic?

LAST NIGHT I attended a daquiri party over
at the NADA complex. As they stood around
toasting each other in every conceivable
language, I tried to order a drink in my favorite
flavor, which is hickory. I asked, could I please
have a hickory daiquiri, doc? Doc, a very large

sever my major appendage if 1 ever made a
stupid joke like that again.

to make a left hand turn, and even then
refuse to use their turn signal unless a
policeman is watching them.
But the worst thing for me is hitching. I live
in East Columbia, have no car, and usually
don't have time to trot to class, so I hitch. Now,
when you see a horse standing on the side of the
road, books tucked neatly under one leg, and an
obvious thumb gesturing for a ride, where do

YES, IT'S BEEN a long and dull semester,
but it's not quite over. You should do your best
to enjoy what time you have left with your
friends before you part paths for the summer or
for life. There are several people I'd like to add
to my list of acknowledged life-lovers who have
brought a bit of laugher to these semi-lonesome
eyes. These are people who do their best just to
be themselves, and shine forth as radiant
humans: Laura Avitabile, Lois Sayrs, Michael
Baker, Larry Manter, Kevin O'Regan,

acceptance of this dilapidated horse has etched
its way onto the saddlebag of my memories.
And remember, people, if you can't laugh at
yourself, you probably aren't very funny.
