IT MIGHT GET LOUD...wonderful!   I knew they were geniuses.  I knew they were cutting edge and breaking new ground all along.  I LOVED them, as did millions of my baby boomer generation amigos.

Watch Commercial, see the whole thang.

It was so hot that I couldn't find my
car when the concert was over so Ali and
Justin had to drive around for blocks and
blocks to find my sticker covered
bumper!  She will never let me live that down, for sure. 

Styx AGAIN, with REO !!!  AWESOME in 100+degree heat in the evening!!!  What a show!  I love them!
Neville Bros. wonderful and mellow.  Aaron's voice so purely awesome!  The brothers were enjoying their performance in spite of the heat!   The Ultimate was the Skynrd's first
concert after Paris, France and frankly, I don't know how they could perform in that heat.  They were professionals! 
They were perfect even when technical issues hit the deck!  They were totally what I needed to hear and can't wait for their CD.  Too many acts to name in this posting.....the shows were full of folks like me and with their children who are the age we were at when these groups first started up.  My neighbor remembers when Tommy Shaw came to Montgomery and had two flat bed trucks with amps on them and put on a show in the parking lot of a department store promoted by the local radio station d.j.

This is my License Plate!.

I NEVER knew Styx as anything other than a Chicago band until I moved down here and a few years ago my
Quick Stop Gas Station attendant told me they had played at the old BAMA Lanes on Atlanta Highway. 
I have so much more to say.  Oh, and I was interviewed by FOX TV on CAMERA.  Check out the link!
I need to capture it somehow before it goes away.  I met some really nice people from Jasper and promiss to load up my clips on MySpace as soon as I have time but others had better cameras than I did.  

Am at the Bureau of Chance Research aka Robert Green and Carol Metzgers loft on Hubbard St.

 I am geeking out searching names of my past and discover a name on a page.  I send out three emails seeking info on the name.  I get an email back a day later from a sister-in-law saying they don't have an email address but I can forward mail to them through another name. After  sending email with my links I get a friend request on Facebook.  Their daughter just married ! and all the wedding pictures!  Jumping up and down!  I am blown away.  She looks like them!  Then, I get an email from the other side of the planet telling ME to set up SKYPE!  Been putting that off for a while, thinking I don't need it.  Ring Ring.  Back to the Past 30 years ago!  An old friend who is yert making in South Africa and his wife who manages a SPA at Hartbeesporrtdam, Kosmos!  ? What!  So now I speak and hear a voice which sounds like next door!  Free! This was both his and my own first phone call on SKYPE!  W O W.
