I was thinking more like Bob Dylan, or mebbe Johnny Cash.
In any case, that was a good thing you did, Punky. Your brother really needed your help. You earned your karma card on that one.
My father had bypass surgery twice. It's amazing that it's almost routine these days, considering that they basically have to flay you open in order
to do it. I hope your brother makes the necessary changes to prevent this from happening again.

it was a good thing mtf.
My brother's wife's brother also came up to help.
He got saddled by debt last year and tried to off himself at the age of 62.
So him coming up to help his sister while Ron was in the hospital and again
to help with the roof was also real good for his own sense of value and purpose.
Both of their recovery's are nothing short of miraculous.
They both look like Frankenstein.
It will continue as daily regimen are worked out
thanx fer the good words!

I imagine that on the bus... I've met some weird people on the bus. Even got molested once. But I had my sweet revenge. |
what'd happened? |
Well... my sister and I were coming back from my mother. I had the window seat. At one point, this guy came sitting behind us, which I found rather
odd as he had a different spot in the bus initially.
Shortly after I felt he had sticked his hand through the gap between seat and window. I grabbed a little bit of skin on his hand and squeezed it real
hard with my nails. He quickly drew back his hand.
I laid back a little so he wouldn't be able to reach me anymore. My sister asked what happened, and when I told her, we proceeded to write our
conversation.
Anyway she had her Swiss Army Knife with her. I turned myself 90 degs and started cleaning my nails with the blade in such a way that he had to see
it.
He grew scared, went to take the seat in front of us and was continuously checking over his shoulder. As soon as another seat across the isle became
available, he moved there. Long before his stop he went to stand at the exit. And when the bus arrived at the station, he ran like hell!
Anyway, two weeks later, my sister and I related the story to a friend. When Sas said that "they should keep their hands off my sister", I realised
I'd been molested. Before I thought that guy was after my wallet.

you're not old,
only better, right?
Happy Birthday!!
Tell you what, seeing as how people are bummed that Aaron or Ray won't seem to make it to this upcoming leg of shows... I humbly offer to all the
regulars here any ONE of the following zpz shows that I'll happily burn on cd from flac to wav and send to you any regular respondents here.
That much I can do. Don't tell the others at the other place please.
regulars:scallop, aquabot, poly (where is he), yoko, George, Jon, Paul or BB
list:
2007 08 10 Norfolk, VA, good sound, average set
2007 10 02 Dusseldorf, good sound
2007 11 10 Kansas City, good sound, lifeless audience, like they play to an empty room
2007 11 13 Austin, 192 min long, great sound, pretty much everything played on the 2007 leg is on this tape
2008 07 29 Charlotte, NC cut bass by half from bass midpoint on here, good crowd so the band shines as show progresses, notable joe's garage run of
songs
2008 08 07 Buffalo short but sweet, outside rig
2009 01 05 Victoria, a tad boomy, Billy the Mountain, ID, Outside Now
2009 01 06 Vancouver, not bad, but 'boxy' like an FM radio broadcast from the '70's... somehow
2009 02 26 Phoenix, bass needs cut by more than half from bass midpoint, maybe 75%, and suffers from distortion of such overpowering bass but
otherwise real good 
2009 03 07 Santa Rosa, Outside Now, Cleetus, Scott Thunes on Willie , Why Don't You Do Me Right
lemme know
(:

Thank you Punky and Aqua! It's very fun so far... haven't got my presents yet but we went to the second-hand store where we scored, yes, another
keyboard, a Yamaha. A very nice one, but it's not working yet.
I also did my newspaper round, played Gabriel Knight 3 and burnt my hand while making tea.

Seems that the YAMAHA only has a minor power problem. A capacitor is blown, I hope that is the only one.
Why is the world so changing rapidly. On my first computer I saw A: after starting it up with a 160k single side single density floppy.

Very generous of you Punkster. Unfortunately i don't think it would be appropriate for my internet connection. Scott Thunes has played with them?

oh no!
No internet involved.
I'll burn ONE show for each of you onto ceedees and snail mail it wherever you are.
No problem. My pleasure.
Thunes played one show, about 1.5 songs, you can just about hear him.

Related to Woody?
I went to a second-hand store and found a VHS of Oscar (that's another Curry thing.) And the official manual of the 7th Guest.
Unfortunately I needed to get a new thingy for the keyboard, but the guy at the desk couldn't help.

spans 7 DVDs and has nearly 18 hours worth of entertainment.

Yup, Arlo is Woody's son. He performed at Woodstock.
