The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

It’s August. The first word gives it away. Each month’s electric bill sets a new record.

Your seasonal affinity makes this one a gimme.
I used to be able to boogie.
I’m not an expert on that era of music, but I’m assuming a diminutive ending on the last word of the author. My first guess is a mini-mini orchestra; my second guess is a mini-bearcat.
Seriously? Not even Chubby Checker?
Thanks.
