Big concerns for All in the south ... hoping all our Brothers and Sisters are safe... Kitty hoping you are feeling better... :dog: Joseph :angel: :inlove:

We are OK, but there has been massive destruction all around us this evening. Downtown Tuscaloosa AL has been leveled. Birmingham took an F5 tornado and areas have been very hard hit. Its not over quite yet, but if you know anyone in the areas of Birmingham (Rusty?) or Tuscaloosa, check on them.

Ahh shucks Kitty thank you, but you and the rest of the ladies on this site are the sweethearts. Great videos Rick. What great voices. Rip Phoebe. Dan's song is a freaking gut wrencher:cry:.

Thanks for the Phoebe Snow video, Rick. 😎 Nic - We are driving to Kansas City to see The Warren Haynes Band on 5-22. Please post about your show after going, so I know what to expect. I'm really looking forward to this trip. We'll be meeting some peachy friends for a pre-show party. 😀

Hey Now. I ams sorry to hear of the passing of your friends Father Tyler. I also hope all goes well with Brent and hoping you find some relief Kitty. Amy is also in my Prayers. The wind is blowing again and it is raining quite a bit. We just had a confirmed tornado about 30 miles west of here. The fishing is done again. I did have a couple of good daze. Pam & I are going to Indianapolis on May 18 to see the Warren Haynes Band. We are looking forward to catching this band!!:cool: Good luck with your new band Rick. I hope you all have a Safe & Goodtime week. I am enjoying a bowl of chili, a fresh Walleye sandwich and a cold glass of milk!! Life is good!! Peach.

TennKev - you are right! I should have posted Tyler instead. :bash: I must have been a bit crazed from the anesthesia yesterday. Tyler - love and good vibes to you, sorry about my misguided post yesterday. TennKev, I am sending you love and good vibes anyway. You're a sweet brother. 😎

DEATH I've wrestled with death, not mine, I'm still here annoying folk... but I guess with the med battle I had, I saw the potentiality of death. But no, I've wrestled with people dying. Special people. I've talked to countless people and spent many hours in introspection. Nobody has answers. Talked to preachers and priests and many not of the cloth.... one man of faith told me one thing, and I like it. I have trouble feeling the ones I loved gone lived for no purpose. It bothers me much, the unfullfilled, since they were not adults. But what I was told is a noble thing. Think of the ones gone, and think of what their best traits were. Calmness, kindness, whatever. Find one that is one you are lacking in...... and embrace it. Make it a goal to make it a trait of yours; learned albeit. For then they left a gift, and their life had one purpose that you carry on and maybe impart on others through it's good effect. I can find a few from Red Dog. I picked his traits of acceptance and calmness, ones I woefully need. God Bless THE DOG, he lives on in all of us.

OK.... Well, there is Craigslist, and other venues, and this one is just as good for this type thing. I am recruiting a guitar player/backup vocalist for a very good blues band. Obviously, there is ABB tune involvement. And obviously, the location is the Birmingham area, although gigs are already booked outside the area, with Nashville being one that is already booked. The guys and gals in this band are all seasoned and very good. I offered to put the word out here given the reach of this Site. Focus is ABB (Betts era) leanings, with a lot of originals and B-side stuff. The band has immediate plans to go into the studio. PM me if interested. Thanks.
