Hey Randy..Hot Damn! God little Angel's must have been smiling down on you Brother...On the drummer thing..oy..I cant say, I havnt cared to go to any of Dickey's shows as of late....but speaking from when Dickey was carrying 2 drummers..(and I have seen dozens of Dickey's shows in the past 3 years) I thought Frankie and Mark were incredible together...shoot, I liked Junior Ortiz real well too, great Latin percussion, plus super-nice guy, just wasnt really into Dickey's kind of music..Frankie was..Still is, Im sure... His enthusiasum alone made for a great show.....I never saw any of these drum problems....IMHO.... Really the bottom line is, you like what you like...Ive heard folks comment, on more than one occasion.."who is that drummer? (about Lil Bro Frankie) , he made the show"...To each his own....It seems to me, the more Dickey continues to go after putting a band together that sounds more like ABB of old, he picks up new/different fans..Thats good, isnt it? Personally, I loved Frankie and Mark's twin drumming.... maybe what wasnt broke didnt need fixing...But keep this in mind..Most men that have reached Dickey's level of success, are out yachting, fishing, and living whatever good life they choose.....Be happy for lifes small treasures...Another gorgeous day here in Charlotte....kinda scary....when things are too perfect, I always wonder whats around the corner...Finally got the fabulous Floyd Miles poster Miss Elf was so kind to send (thanks again El ) from his Macon show awhile back....hanging on the wall ...A grand evening with wonderful memories....Also hung a beautiful Mark May poster , both autographed, framed and matted in soft sea-blue green mats...Really makes the old living room feel livable again......Its been so sad and lonely without our darling Heather gracing that space.. Next I have to drop off a LRP poster, also autographed, to be matted/framed..Its a beautiful Country poster..from his Painting the Town Red Tour, (with David Lee Murphy, a handsome Irishman, good singer, and LR sits in his whole show, in addition to opening..We liked it, and have tix to Paint the Town again) The poster is pretty... Red ,White and Blue...It will be the perfect compliment to the 2 we just hung...Im thinking of royal blue for the mat...Us fans are really so lucky to be blessed with these beautiful musicians bringing joy to our lives...All 3 of those fine musicians were good to my Heddy when she was here with us, when most folks were not. May God bless them....Enjoying the ride, Ca
