I just got colder looking at the picture.

I believe that was the same weekend you unveiled Small Medium at Large. A few of the boys were a little over-served and while they couldn't remember the name of the song they could remember the content and kept shouting, "Play thet midjit song, Ken. Play thet thar midjit song!" (sic)

And yes - real good times.

threadjack alert!!   So...about that kayak, that man, and that WV river.

Just after Dirty Ed got that kayak in the picture he also got a beautiful new carbon fiber paddle to go with it. I had been wanting to try that model of kayak, and we were camped right alongside the New River just down from some class I riffles.  I asked to borrow it for ten or fifteen minutes.  He agreed, and told me to try his new, shiny carbon fiber paddle too.

I was having so much fun in the kayak, I came back two hours later with a scratched up carbon fiber paddle, a scratched up and muddy kayak (I did splash some river water to rinse it), and a huge grin.  I saw Dirty Ed by the campfire sitting on a cooler with a fairly large pile of empties beside him and a guitar in his hand.  "Sorry I took longer than I said," says I. "No problem," Dirty Ed said as he stood up to take another beer from the cooler.  It wasn't until I put his kayak back at his campsite and changed out of my river clothes and returned to the campfire that I realized that Dirty Ed was sitting on my cooler and the pile of empties beside him had been mine.   :-)

Now I just need someone to come up and tell me I have thirteen years of vacation due to me...

Go get 'em.

Jx3: "My name is JoeyJoeyJoey and I'm a guitaraholic." 
Everyone else: "COOL!"

This was kind of a highlight for me. Southpaw's eldest boy hung out on "the kit" with Garuchi (my friend Gary Owens, who has toured and played stadiums and is a real-deal electric guitarist) and Steve Hochberg (who is a gigging bassist in the Tampa area).  10 years old, and he hung in there doing a great job.  Then the next night ... this ...  (the adult guitarist is Southpaw, by the way). 

Southpaw is raising his boy right.

Happens all the time.  I often start to play Billie Joe Shaver's "Live Forever" and out comes Jim Croce's "Age."  There are some others I regularly conflate as well.

Spray some of that contact cleaner schmutz in it. You could just have some metallic dust in there or something.

Sure. Sure.  Skip right over the Sissified 70's Folk/Pop era. 

1960's: I second The Weight
1980's: Pink Houses or Jack and Diane

You need a white tuxedo just to play that, don't you?

Happy birthday Scott.  I hope you get some very loud presents.
