Re: Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Glad you enjoyed the evening barring the seat incident. I wish I knew your chair broke, I was about 1 more getting fallen into away from breaking it the rest of the way over someones ugly head. I was starting to worry about you Jim. It took ya awhile to post your take on the show. I was starting to think that maybe (you have been known to have some pretty wild after show experiences) something went awry that night with your back or an officer of the law, or maybe even snuck off and tied the knot in the land of sin ???? Never know about you my friend !!! Yeah, Lady Oreo. Im gettin' the vibe that it was best you didnt know her handle at the show. I know you too well ol' buddy. Which leads me to ask...IS ANYONE ALIVE OVER AT THE KWSB FORUM ???? There is not one reply to my post about the show yet. Nor is there one to the previous one about the INDY ribfest. I guess that is why I hang out here. As far as the $50.00 fan club thing goes.... If my memory serves me correctly it was Joe that came over to Jim and I at the Boardman show after the soundcheck with his nitro powered remote control monster truck and cars and started talking about different mechanical aspects of them, and then there was the autograph that Joe more than graciously signed for me when he was done having fun with his toys. That to me my friends is truely the definition of PRICELESS !!!
If I woulda known you were havin' the problem with the drunk, buddy, I'da given you the chair. It woulda made a good bud-nipper (if anybody starts any sh*t, it'll nip it in the bud...) As it was, I switched it out with a couple behind me that had an empty seat next to them.....then some poor schmuck sat in it later and fell flat on his @ss. Oops.....
Darrin, ya never have to worry about me.....hell, I don't!! I always have a blast, even when there's cops involved! There was that bastid in Amsterdam, Ohio that gave me the ticket, but then again, they're still waitin' on their money.....
Karen and I went over to the Southside afterwards, lookin' for a decent blues bar, but came up empty. I can't understand it.....the Southside is a perfect spot for a full-tilt blues bar, even though the younger crowd from Pitt have pretty much turned it into a hip hop haven. If and when I hit the lottery, I'm gonna open one.....
We settled on a joint called "Paparazzi", which had a decent cover band. Sherri Richards stopped in, and there was this black cat with a trumpet that walked in off the street that made it a good time. But it paled in comparison to the show we just saw.....
<<or maybe even snuck off and tied the knot in the land of sin ????>>
Bite yer tongue, Darrin.....I don't do knots no mo'.....
We drove back to Wheeling that night, and I stayed until this morning. Just another leg on the Summer of Love Tour.....
You're right on about Joe, buddy.....and that's probably why I was so offended by KWS autograph policy. It wasn't a matter of Joe taking the time to sign an autograph, he was hangin', like an old friend. And yes, that IS priceless.....something I'll never forget. And after the show, he stayed and signed and talked and hung out.....like a friend. To me, that's every bit as important as what he does on stage. Not that I'm thinkin' like a groupie, but it just shows the amount of character Joe has, and the fact that he can remain humble while taking the world by storm simply amazes me.....
<<Yeah, Lady Oreo. Im gettin' the vibe that it was best you didnt know her handle at the show. I know you too well ol' buddy.>>
Am I that transparent?? Damn shame though.....there's a great line there.....
Better San Juan
Than that blue collar hell
