Made me laugh! Brings back the memories, huh?

Memories???

FYI where I live there's a whole bunch of us AARP members-in-good-standing who are still playing out regularly; only difference is the B.O. is worse , "lead singers' disease" means imminent hip/knee replacement when you suddenly realize you're not 25 and can't make those stage moves anymore - and it's probably best that we don't discuss the groupies...

Once a road warrior, always a road warrior - and to paraphrase a popular American saying, they'll have to pry my Gretsch out of my cold, dead hands...
