If your words posted here after hearing wonderful things from Ted are any indication then Research Geek and Catcup did a fine job of helping you find you. Happy Birthday Jennifer! ~~~

Hey you, I was just heading away from this screen and saw you post. You would have loved him last night, Scotty that is, I couldn't keep my feet on the floor. But I wasn't wearing those boots I was wearing when you and I met, which I've wanted to ask you....were you being nice not to mention how wild they were?....hahahahaha And Buddy Guy did us good he did. You'd of loved the show. He is simply fine! Now if BB would come to our neck of the woods. BB King that is, guitar gold, bubbling out from his licks.

David, The middle one I love and have since I first heard them. They can make strings on a piece of rounded wood sound mighty fine, oh yes. Thank you. The last are energetic and beautiful pickers. The first probably is my favorite, even over the second one. That is maturity in your instrument IMHO.

Sorry I got distracted. David, I will listen to yours in just a second. Socks, that next one, wow, that is one beauuuuuutiful instrument! I have to start with this kid that opened. Waysider and his buddy said he was pretty incredible then last night heard a little bit more but he picked up a guitar at 16. He just graduated at 18 and he just blew me away. Hubby said he has technique and skill that's amazing but he lacks the soul that Bubby has. But once he has some age under him, I believe we may have us another SRV, no lie, this kid is just amazing. (btw….Rick, Cynthia, Waysider, DialThis (what I'm gonna call our other buddy) and Wasway…..I know where he will be next…uh huh) Buddy has smoothness to him that makes ya think he could tame a savage beast while at the same time bring out the beast. His playing can be condensed to a couple of licks and you think you just heard an orchestra. He was in a good mood last night obviously. He even asked for house lights to be kept on so he could see us and communicate with us. He gave us a great show, even having just recovered from a throat infection or virus of some sort it sounded, the man is one of only a few left, I thank God I got to see him and if his looks and playing is any indication he will be slapping that neck again here I hope. There is more but I'll leave some stuff for Rick. (I really must stop talking to people when I am posting)

Oh my goodness Socks, I just watched the Cookie Blues and that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I have to watch it again now. It is so light and adorable. Gosh I love the blues. (((you))) I can't thank you for the other as I haven't gotten to it yet. :) As Rick said last night we saw Buddy Guy. Gosh, more on him in a bit. Dang, it was like pure coolness coming down from the stage, and the venue is quite wonderful, I could dance in my spot and not be crowded. :) Rick was on the monitor when Buddy came down into the audience. I was outside :( but I didn't miss too much else. Another thing about Rick is he can party and it has taken me a good part of the day to want to talk at all. I could tell you about the girl that came up and just sat on his lap but Cynthia and I found other things to occupy our time. Cynthia is one of the most precious things I've ever met, we are lifelong friends on first meeting and I think I can speak that freely for her. As to Rick, he doesn't just walk into a room, geez I know this one man we all knew that use to think he gave off vibes when he walked into a room, but Rick just attracts people to him. I just needed to razz on the guy some; he's been my best friend forever I think. Back at some point I promise. I have to watch this Cookie Blues again at least once before I proceed any further. And did I mention that Rick knows how to party. :unsure: And Waysider if you read this before I return that kid Scotty Bratcher will have Eric Clapton offering to be his warm up band someday. And that ain't talking about sweet looking and hot playing until you could not stand to stay on the ground blues of Buddy Guy's. Ah yeah it was indeed a sweeeet night.

Thank you. ((you))

And yet we have some who would kill in the name of their god. Deeply touching to overwhelming.

I don't know the show but I recognize the actor hiwayman spoke of.

Oak, we are so happy you have joined now.

If folks don't look at this and learn something, different things for us all no doubt, but something, this would be even worse than it is now.

And I'd heard the plane blew up because he was freebasing. :blink:

Excellent example waysider. And tomorrow night......we are gonna be rocking to some kickbutt good ole blues we are......I know you guys will be there in thoughts.....I'll enjoy it for ya...... :)

Doug doesn't live in Ohio but of course has some history here. :unsure: I don't know that he would have someone he could suggest but he does have some experience in working with legal in that general area. Here is his website if you wanted to pass it on to your daughter and tell her how you would know of him. Doug McMullan http://www.dougmcmullan.com/

Ca_dreaming, Once in awhile I act like I'm the boss and go over the games goals. I'll use Sudo as an example. So who is it? And C'mon.. lets not give it away all at once guys although it may be easy for you. You know.. I could have picked a more obscure one but.. What he is saying is use a clue to let us know you know who it is until others have a chance to guess also. My clue was an answer to who it was but not a give away if you didn't know who it was yet. So that is an example of how we have fun with the thread. I'm glad you joined us and thank you for letting me use you as my example in my periodic review of the gig here. PS....here is where I got the idea for the clue I used from. And I knew who it was of course but went and looked for something different for him.

I might have a night mare or escape in a dream.

Thank you for the link. If I lived closer I would drive to the hospital and make it in person.

I've typed and deleted and typed and deleted. This is just a tough heart one.

I saw Ravi Shankar in the 70's in Philly and what a show, but I wish I knew the name of the guy with him because he was actually better.

That is part of why this is just so freaking hard. I can't feel that yet, I want to bring him back to life and kick the crap out of him till I have no strength to do more. I don't care if he was messed up mentally. Most of us are to some degree. I admire them more than I can say. And I ache for them more than I can say also.

:P

Socks, I think your description helped me understand myself about my perspective. He sounds like he will be one of those you will enjoy the whole ride with. Cool! :)

I second her. :) Socks, I'm reading ya man.

You're a nut. :) I will joyfully serve. :) TOTW, You will do fine. And I can walk you thru things so you don’t have to do it alone like Sudo did. You’ll have my email address that I monitor from work so I won’t be far. But I am going to gratefully take the time to make it the best I can and some of this was never in text form, just us talking back and forth to each other. haha I don't think I've heard that. And I agree they did a tad more than kiss. <_< And when Sudo says exactly he is right. You have to be exact, there is no margin for error in the things you will be doing. But once you get it down you'll do it without thought.

Interesting story in itself. Thank you so much for that. And I bet the enjoyment of that shared breakfast made up for it somehow. :)
