Only did Owsley (white? 250 mikes) once. Nothing like a little aversion therapy.  :P :P :P :-[   


Catch any parked cars kissing their meters? ;) ;D

Their music was great and certainly fit the times.  Levon was also a very accomplished actor that I enjoyed.  To quote Bob Dylan, "The times, they are a changin" and we continue to loose people from the era that were influential of our youth.

RIP Levon.......................

Losing Levon Helm was a tough one for me. This piece is real good, though; put things in a pretty good perspective.

We saw Glen Hansard at the Vic in Chicago last week, and both his band and the opening act all got up there and played (well, mostly sang) "The night they drove old dixie down", as a tribute.  It was one of the best live performances I've ever seen.   :)

Sad to read of Jon Lord's passing in the news this morning.  Deep Purple will always be one of my favorite bands.  RIP
