Hrumpphhh!<BR/><BR/>This is a wonderful memory. Thank you so much for sharing it. I was smiling all the way through, but laughed outloud when your sister got some "comfort". <BR/><BR/>I am left wondering why bikers were NGDB fans. They always seemed so mellow to me. And I'm ashamed to admit that when I worked for an extremely short man, Danny DeVito short, I used to hum Short People while I slaved away in the cubicle next to his plush office. It did not endear me to him; in fact, I was gone by xmas, for which I was always grateful to Randy Newman.D.K.

I really loved your story. I've had times in my life when I had so much to deal with that I couldn't even connect with music but fortunately those days are behind me.

They're so telling. I think the best line is "He used his music to make peace that snowy night."

Grace Slick didn't show up they canceled the concert and I sat amongst the riot and watched the stage burn down amongst the polizei with machine guns. It was fantastic! Thanks for the memories. I am going to listen to that now!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.com
