Review of Blood Pressure ChairFunny funny stuff. This down home humorist has a winner here. A great story told with perfect timing and an innate sense of timing. Perfectly plausible and yet riotously funny.

Review of Blood Pressure ChairAnother episode in the life of record store owner Dave. For those unfamiliar the most obvious point of reference is Garrison Keillor's Notes From Lake Wobegon. Dave finds himself in an increasingly ludicrous situation involving a blood pressure chair until his friends come to help. Recommended for all fans of quirky, offbeat, touching tales of everyday life. |
