Best wishes, Jody. Happy Birthday, Dave! Fun little music get-together in my little town Sat. night, on the occasion of birthdays of two members of our old garage band of some note, The Bleus. The big 60 for founder Tony Lumpkin. Basically an open jam for area musicians. Notable happenings: My friend Johnny Wiemann, who some of you have met, attended. He was a roadie for the Bleus. Johnny suffered a stroke July of last year, had many complications, family was told he would be custodial for life. Johnny walks without a cane and drives some now. But he hadn't been out for over 2 hours since the stroke. Until Saturday. He joined us at 3:30, stayed till after 9. Such is the power of music. Rusty and Donna came up, blessed me with the framed photo Rusty took of me and Chuck L. (posted elsewhere on the site). Totally unexpected, totally appreciated. A memo of my 60th from a few weeks back. Brent joined in onstage, by far the best of the bunch (imagine that!). The drummer was excellent, currently touring with Billy Bob Thornton. Brent's friend Mona came by late, she was working a Humane Society fundraiser. After observing the scene for a few moments, she commented, "That's the most guitar players I've ever seen on a stage at one time, without sheep." eapfp :looney:
