I really miss riding it any great distance but by spring, I'm hoping my legs will be back.

CB,
You can always put those tuning forks to work on a piano...we had a Yam piano way back when, a Stienway before that...

Well you know the old cliche;

You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish. :oops:

Goodnight Gracie.

Great stuff guys,

And think on this.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear...but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

Sounds good...

A little personal history on REO (Mine)...

Was a student at U of I from '78-'80.  REO played a concert at Assembly Hall following "You can Tuna Fish...".  Attended, awesome concert.  Now, Kevin Cronin (lead singer) and Gary Richrath (lead guitarist) are Champaign born and raised.  Went to a little bar on Green St. (Panama Reds), close to the Frat house, it was late on a Tues eve, had Calculus 102 the next morn at 8.  Well, guess who walks into the bar...Kevin and Gary!  Now, there are only about 20 people in the bar, strewn throughout, but everybody know's who they are. Seems they used to hang out there.  We all leave them alone, but soon, they get a couple of acoustics from the bar owner, and for the next couple of hours, we are treated to an acoustic version of the concert we just heard!  Found out later Kevin and Gary used to do that all the time whenever they played in the hometown...

I will never forget that...

And if you ever need an address, well, "157 Riverside Avenue" will do just fine!  The live version, thank you... :thumleft:  :thumleft:

BTW, ask me about the Ramones concert...thought the building was going to collapse!

"Golden Country" is THE song, especially off the live album. It was recorded at the Agora ballroom here in Atlanta across the street from the Fox theater. Guess who was on the front row about two feet away from Richrath? Didn't know it was even being recorded until the album came out and we realized you could hear us whistling and yelling during the slightly quieter sections.

The band is good, period.  I like all their songs, hard to pick a best.
