To stardom and a future paved with gold. The modesty of this man will amaze. On July 4th 1995 We buried a dear friend, in my backyard. The Brinkman Smoker, finally cooked its last Barbecue. Worn out and tired, its grills and pans were wearing away. So we buried it proper New Orleans style, at the end of that day.

\nwe really had a ball.
\nAnd do you know the reason why?
\nThe answer is simple,
\nThe truth lies bare,
\nIt all boiled down to the people who were there.<\/p>\n
\nWith a sense of occasion,
\nAnna and Adele dancing in formation,
\nKent doing Yoga,
\nTony staying cool
\nCurt trying hard to keep every rule,
\nAdhere to his contract,
\nKeep out of trouble,
\nKeep the music coming and drink Buds at the double.<\/p>\n
\nLike a man possessed.
\nHe may have singed his you-know-what
\nBut he gave it his best.<\/p>\n
\n(with his partner in tow)
\nHe brings news of Major
\nHe’s always in the know.<\/p>\n
\n(Alas, the Brinkman’s last)
\nIt’s done a great job for the three years past.<\/p>\n
\nBritish Linda’s feeling fine.<\/p>\n
\nFeels its her turn to dine.<\/p>\n
\nMakes quite an impression.<\/p>\n
\nIn a funeral procession.<\/p>\n
\nAnd films it all.<\/p>\n
\nWe DID have a ball.<\/p>\n
\nTiki Tom<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPlays devils advocate – the party swings.
\nWill leap a flame before an eye can blink,
\nComposes poetry, tells jokes and sings.<\/p>\n
\nHis gifts are boundless – he instructs the young,
\nEmotes on film and puts it in the can.
\nHis Franklin yet may set him on the map<\/p>\n
\nHis strength is legend – call him to move house!
\nImagination, heart and muscle rolled
\nInto one perfect whole – Like Mighty Mouse.<\/p>\n
\nWith gay abandon he shrugs off our praise.<\/p>\n
\n– Foster Johnson<\/p>\n
\nHe pulls out all the stops and raises Cain.
\nThe neighbours say he’ll surely go to hell,
\nNot realizing how he deals with pain<\/p>\n
\nHe bids the Brinkman one last fond goodbye,
\nRemembering all those juicy chunks of beef,
\nWith special homage paid to old Rib-Eye.<\/p>\n
\nFJ is now bereft of his mainstay,
\nSo ritual acts like giving spit and hair
\nEnable him to bear this dreadful day.<\/p>\n
\nIf time hangs heavy he can always beat his meat.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nCurt Walheim – here my hand should stay its task
\nA mighty man in Old World and New.
\nWho can interpret – penetrate the mask
\nof clown which hides an intellect that few<\/p>\n
\nSee him do The Worm – strain every fibre in the dance.
\nObserve him share his life-style with a true
\nMaganimity. Give him but a chance<\/p>\n
\nYou never saw. Pyrotechnics pose no
\nRisk for him. Olympian games merely psyche
\nHim up to better things. It’s Go Man, Go!<\/p>\n
\nForgive his peccadillos or beware.<\/p>\n
