CECAA850 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 BigStew---you are actually in year 48 since you are 47 years old. Don't you feel better now? No; but i feel a year wiser! Thank you for pointing that out. Thank you all for the birthday wishes. i just had my third "free" lunch from co-workers. unfortunately, one co-worker told the server that it was my birthday and they did that embarrassing bringing a cake to the table and singing happy birthday. good intent; but why do they always bring chocolate cake? I've been chocolate-free since '83 . Sure it wasn't the peanut butter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, i still like peanut butter. it probably wasn't the chocolate either, i just formed one of those mental associations and chocolate took the rap. my wife is that way with sun-dried tomatoes--she got real sick after eating at this place and said that while puking she couldn't get the taste of sun-dried tomatoes out of her mouth. to this day, she won't eat them.

Marvel Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 REO is a real good example of a group taking the band away from the guitar player (Gary Richrath) and giving it to the singer (Kevin Cronin). When they did that they started their decline. Gary was in a group that used to practice at my house... sometime around 1970. Maybe just after. The Vietnam War was still going on. He was a very nice guy, and an incredible guitarist, even then. Bruce Bruce--that's cool. people laugh at me; but i think gary is the most underrated guitar player. what kind of guitar was he playing back in those days? i've seen them several times in concert, and i think he was always playing a les paul. Surprise! I wish I had a shot from the front, but I don't. He was playing a Tele. The other player in the group at this time worked out on an LP. Gary was sitting down for this outdoor gig, as he had been in a car accident and fractured his leg. There's a story there, but I sure haven't heard him repeat it publicly.

I'm the same way with Rum and Coke. Once, I got terribly sick after a night of heavy drinking. I polished off most of a bottle of Rum by myself in one evening. I was 17 at the time and moving out of state. I haven't touched a drop of Coke since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hey just last week I was in a CVS Pharmacy buying a jar of peanuts when the 21-ish girl behind the register asked if I had a senior card. I'M FORTY-ONE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!! That hurts! I got carded about a year ago buying a six-pack for my wife Young folks don't have a clue. Generally, the younger the person, the further away they'll be when guessing an older person's age. When I was a kid, thinking of the 1930s when my dad was a kid seemed prehistoric. Now, the same time-frame would be the 70s! That was just yesterday, right????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask some people I obviously know are over 21 to sometimes make them feel nice. They usually thank me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Bruce--thanks for posting that picture. do you still keep in touch with him? were you in the band also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I haven't stayed in touch at all. Wish I had, but our paths just led in different directions. I played acoustic guitar, dobro, lap steel, a different genre of music altogether, so we never played together. He was a bit out of my league, too. I kept my day job mostly, while he was totally committed to being a musician. Let's see, Dan Fogelberg was there in town also... a lot of guys made it, while I worked in TV news.
