Randall Bramblett is HOT! The bluedad came over to see the show with my wife and me and it was outstanding. But the truly outstanding thing about tonight was bluedad. He's a true blue guy - no pun intended. He was exhausted after going to his daughter's graduation in Orangeburg earlier in the day, but he's one of the rare people left in this world whose word is his bond, so he came and blessed us with his wit and his affable good humor. Some people are all show and no go. Not bluedad - he says what he means and means what he says.

Congrats to Blueda's daughter on her graduation. Good parenting! Couldnt agree more with John on the 'hangin out' with friends at events. I think, for me anyway, that is one reason the Jam for Duane is so special. The people who come are just the greatest, like-minded, musically spiritual people I know. It is always so enlightning. Out the door to the Crawfish Festival...play the blues!!

Just started Gregg's book - had some hard feelings about bad things he said about a few people and one in particular that he left out completely. However, who am I to bash something I hadn't read. Several pages in, I was in tears. Gregg, I know your pain, brother. Whatever you remember and however you remember it don't matter; the fact that you lived through it is what is amazing. That's the last thing I ever heard him utter to a friend of mine was "Can you believe I lived through it?". No, Gregg, I can't. And yes, no matter what, I am glad.

Gotta say it was major league fun in Macon meeting all the friends here. I've been very fortunate to spend some quality time - but not enough from my selfish standpoint - with bluedad, who is one of the finest, most upstanding guys anybody could ever encounter (and I encounter a lot of people in my travels). He and Brother Dave Pearson took us all over Macon showing us everything there is to see practically. Dave gave me a personal tour of the BigHouse, too. Just great people who I hope to see a lot more in the future! And it was so neat to me Kev and hid gorgeous sidekick and Nic and Pam, and finally after many wasted years bickering over nothing - GHANDI.Hate to leave anybody out but Paul and Heidi - where you gonna go find more gracious and generous folks than them???? I sure hope lots of folks want to make a return trip to GABBAfest!!!!

Y'all still got labels on beer cans in Bamy?? I would just plaster the can around my head and move on to the questioning......:) Kev....you are always welcome in GA or BAMY....Just get to SC and I'll drive you where you want to go. Bring that nursing, bootlegging, photograping, pool sharking, girl friend with you..:). She is definitley a sweetheart....:) Got some miles to go tommorow. My oldest daughter graduates with a master's degree in Biotechnology tomorrow. A 110 mile round trip then to Columbia, SC to see Randall Bramblett in Columbia, SC and hopefully have some late lunch with pintobean and his wife before the show:) We were all attracted to the music, however the time we get to hang with each other is just as important to me....:) That weekend we spent in Macon is one of my most treasured weekend of music and friendship ever...:)

The SKYDOGS BAND will be performing their special style of music at the annual Crawfish Boil in Gadsden sat from 2-4pm. Love for y'all to come on out. Had a good talk with Ol Bluedad...had a good story. After a long day, he stopped and picked up a 12 pack and headed home...So, ridin along, he pops a top and proceeds to cruise. Passing a St. Trooper, he notices that 'Johnny Law' has spotted him. With his quick thinking, he peels the label off the bottle and sticks in on his forehead. The lights come on and Bluedad pulls to the curb. The officer comes and asks..."hey boy, you been drinkin'? Bluedad responds.."No sir, I'm on the patch".

:waving: Jim.. you were missed.. it was a great show.. 🙂 Darn those sleeveless tops... 😮 Dickey , Duane , Andy, Pedro, Mike, Frankie and James yep it was great night of music.. Andy A will be around town this Sat.night The Viking... :clapping: hoping to stop in after work.. :guitar:

Listening to Live at Fillmore East again. The songs Dickie wrote...his rhythm guitar and leads!! I know its old news but these guys were on a par with each other...and I see no reason to stop listening. I wish Dickie the BEST tour... and I hope to hear you brother. Stay healthy and strong. Cuz on a musical basis, I love you and what you have done for us all. Keep on Keepin On!!!

happyhere been to NC a few times over the years. But can't think of any place I would rather live than in Ohio. Gregg has kinda shot himself in the foot. And too that idiot that his been flapping his jaws again take your meds and go away. It takes a little man to hide behind a computer. And weren't you in the marines??? if you were you are a disgrace to the uniform and what it stands for. And if you were you probably didn't survive basic training before they booted you're sorry ass out! Me retired army

hey now,gregg did'nt mention me either I ,ve been there,I was there on the 8th floor of the holiday inn scope in norfolk virginia at the end of the hallway with a bathtub full of beer,kinship covers a lot of ground so not being mentioned does really amount to much but the fact that these ole boys brought us the tunes and still cranking means so much,Im going to work tomorrow and when i get paid if I can get by with leaving no debt unturned and can save a tad for a show,Im gonna get my sail out in the wind here real soon and hear some of this energy that I know is gettin ready to get produced,produce that reminds me,it tis the season!!!
