Hey! It's officially Friday, we made it!
if everyone deletes the PM's they sent to me that I never responded to, Rowland and the server will be fine....
U2 Concert San Diego 3/28/05....... Bono " We definitely pick the right city to start the tour." Bono's comments half way through the first show." I would agree....... There is no time or distance in the spirit of the world.

Hop, your comments reminded me of a review of Rory's 1976 Atlanta Fox shows. I've sent you the whole article.
From the article:
‘For Rory, you need to be right up close, close enough to hear his fingers squealing on the guitar strings and to smell the rubber of his sneakers burning against the boards.’
Chicago has to be the place to be this weekend, Dillon, then Rat dog. Not ABB at the Beacon but pretty darn good. have fun.
just deleted a zillion outgoing messages, some of them going back to September 2002. Amazing
Marsha,
Way to go. I new i heard that before. I went to school in New Rochelle( Iona). A few guys at the golf club I worked at went to Salesien. One works with Bill Walton, Mike Breen. Anyway, that reminds me of a modern day Beatitudes. Peace and know that you,like us all, are loved.
I came to GB tonight because I was inspired to pray for Terry Schiavo here last night, at the hour of her death. Some people here are really in tune. No pun intended.
May God have mercy on Terry's soul. May Terry rest in God's bussom tonight. May her soul and all the souls of the faithfuly departed rest in Peace.:angel:

PJ, our thoughts and prayers are with you today and tomorrow.
That's what this site is all about...
I can't think of a better place or a better group of people to be with and have on our side when we need support, comfort, understanding and love.
Okay I deleted some of my PM's, I have more folders than just in and out boxes though, that is why it is time consuming.
Fun going through some of the things in my folder of PM's I saved over the years though. 🙂

Hey GB.
Whats up Lammie!! Thanks for the ehads up on the outbox folder. Never even knew it was there. I am having a blast reading all of these pm's. LOL!!
Goes back to middle of 2002.
TanDan's info on Rory Gallegher got me thinking about a story.
Rory played two shows a night from Monday through Saturday at Richards, a nightclub in Atlanta, sometime in late 1973. I had first seen him about a year earlier at a 1-day festival in Rockingham, NC, that the ABB headlined and Rory knocked my socks off.
I was buddies with the two Richards and made arrangements to get the same front-row center table for all 12 shows -- I quite literally could rest my heels on the front of the stage and lean back in my chair! I was no more than three feet in front of Rory ...
The early show on Thursday was broadcast live on WREK-FM, and my best friend's wife recorded in on his reel-to-reel machine -- you can clearly hear Ray Pavlovic and me shouting for Rory.
Earlier in the day Thursday he visited the WREK studios and performed a couple of sweet acoustic numbers, too.
There was a girl named Margaret who was at the table next to ours for every one of the Richards shows -- she and I got to chatting with Rory and he invited us backstage. I had a chance to ask him why he used a steel slide instead of a glass one and he replied, "It's the tone. Sometimes I want a sweeter tone and I use the glass slide, but the steel slide is stinger."
Margaret later went on to correspond with Rory in Ireland and became one of his circle of friends. She grieved mightily when he passed. Coincidentally, Margaret is still around and is friends with Derek's family.
After the last show on Saturday night Rory said from the stage, " I want to thank everyone for coming to see my music -- especially those who were here for several nights," and he gestured at those of us in the front. Made me feel proud, it did.
These 12 shows rank collectively as one of the most amazing musical experiences in my lifetime. I was truly blessed to have been there.
"Suprisingly Delta Blues is arlready growing on me on the 2nd listen great job on that one Gregg."
Phillybob, just took a break about an hour ago and listened to that in my car and thought the exact same thing. The only real downside to not having Instant Lives from the Beacon, is for that solo and acoustic stuff.
