Good to read all the posts from some of you that I know and some that I have not had the pleasure of meeting. I still miss GPM,Joe Roy, USC Brent as well as others. Keep It Kind. I have missed most of the pre and post parties that ya'll have have attended and will miss the Macon gig but I still consider ya''ll friends. Kay & I went to the Beacon by ourselves. I do not even get to the campgrounds at Wanee. Maybe Sang will get me there yet. My other friends just don't get it. I still remember the short lunch in Nashville before an ABB/ DTB gig with some of you in 01 I think. The late night waffle house runs. The 02 Pelham pre gig at Applebies before ABB. The GB shows in Gadsden, Al with, Brent, Lefty, Matt, Goldtop and Donna Hopkins and their bands. I got to meet TerriB, Jacquie and Helen. The last ABB Fox run. This was a week after hurricane Ivan which devastated alot of my area. We needed that gig like you will never know, No electricity or running water for a week. Several of my tree farms destroyed. My wife had more insurance claims than she cares to remember. The nights at the Fox were special. The shows of Jack Pearson and Donna Hopkins at the Tabernacle were great. BlueDad gave us a ride back to the hotel and he had never even seen us before. You think that I don't think he is one of the best. Yes he is. I know that I am over the top about Alabama football, but mean no harm to Auburn or Dame. I mean no harm to any others or their teams. I loved talking football,with Bill Ector, and most of you don't know that Ga Tech and Bama hated each other for years. Bill and Joe Bell & I and maybe Hop got past this. I look up Joe Bell every chance that I get to talk football. Heck ,Bird LeCroy is one of my oldest and best friends and he hates Bama football. It is all about the music and the brotherhood or friendships. I was able to get to the Atlanta Susan, Phil & Friends and ABB gig and thought it was great. I miss going to gigs in Atlanta as it has been too long. Loved the greet before the ABB in Atlanta. I think David Wyatt did this. Got to meet Ole Dirt Road and Libby. Bill B was there as well. People's perspective changes. Illnesses, financial problems , relationships end, and depression comes to all of us. The music still sets us free. Keep It Kind. Sorry for the rambling.
