Yes, on the money. That album is half acoustic and half electric.

You have no idea. You may have seen me before, long long agoā€¦ the fun starts around 3:42

You are playing the electric guitar and saying i need to plug it in.
All his cronies back then thought he was caving to the invasion. When I was a kid, I dated a girl whose dad was a manager at Madison Square Garden. She got a ticket to see anybody that we wanted. All we did was get on the path train that would drop us off at The Garden. We saw everyone from
Elvis to AC DC. I was even in the garden when Ricky Nelson got booed off the stage. Garden Party.
Dam, Iā€™m old.

Did you happen to see Led Zeppelin in '73?

No, but I saw Plant and Page in Birmingham in the 90s. They never played Stairway. Very disappointing. They were great, though.

I saw Page/Plant 4 times in Atlanta and Jacksonville. We should have google/zoom/etc call to discuss our shared musical past. You up for that?

Fun watch Craig! Thanks for sharing! My wifeā€™s grandma was a regular non-celebrity guest on the Letterman show. She lived with my in-laws when we first started dating. Super funny even in her later years.

And my MIL still makes the orange rollsā€¦ they are amazing!

Here is a collection of some of her appearances.

My ex wife got me to go to see Elton John in Birmingham, also. He is not on my list, but he puts on a good show. We went with a Judge friend of ours. All we talked about was Alabama football.

Craig,

I have one burning question on thisā€¦ can you still do it?

I canā€™t. Hell, I just fell asleep in the chair for two hours, according to the boss lady. Burning the candle at both ends lately is wearing on the old man.

5 am to 5 pm every weekday. Itā€™s almost always either a Sat or Sunday. I donā€™t work hard, but it is still challenging for a nearly 70-year-old to pull off.
Yesterday, I came in at 4:55 am to see water giser spewing from the ground. A 300-psi water pressure pipe comes from the backflow box and goes to the regulator.
The town keeps building sub-divisions without upgrading the local water system. Their fix is to crank up the pressure. Even though the 2-inch line is schedule 80 PVC, the glued joint canā€™t take it.
I am running the excavator to dig it up and down from a 6 ft deep hole. I got it fixed, but it kicked my ass. Itā€™s impossible around here to find anybody with more than one skill set. My helper is great at welding and related crap. His skinny ass canā€™t use a shovel :grin: Canā€™t wait for the water bill. Usually 1200-4000 per month. When crap like this happens, it could double. The biggest problem is that the sewer commission calculates your sewer bill based on water usage. They have a deaf ear to water leaks. Oh well
