View attachment 1161326 Fellers, it's been a looong week. ESPECIALLY with wonderful, warm & cuddly in-laws from out of state that have the EXACT same hobbies, politics, religion, likes & dislikes as you, but only freakin' gooder or better, and that your ONLY fault was that you married into the clan and haven't died off yet, but if they can find a street car on the cheap, they'd be MORE than happy to help me along..........thanks for the kind words about me uke. The more I play it, the more I like it. It gets plugged into a Fender amp and once the amp was EQ'd, the little uke sounds sweet.
Kamidog, I'm struggling with Purple Haze at the moment, but I've already got Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of Voodoo Child down pat. Poke the amp into over drive and jack all the knobs all the way up and guess what? The sheriff of the next county over is callin' you on the phone that if you don't shut that XXXX thing down, their SWAT team will be paying you a visit with thermite grenades, bazookas, and their entire K-9 crew that will probably have not been fed for 48 hours----UNLEASHED. You suppose they're tryin' to tell me something here? (Ol' Zeke is sayin' "Bring'em on!)
Bawanna, I have talked to Willie, his son, and his foul mouthed daughter at a special Hard Rock Cafe event in NYC a few years back. We attended as part of the Hard Rock people. He was higher'n a kite, the boy is a good Rock 'n Roller (his band was there playing too, as was his sister's) and the daughter, .....oh, Lordy. Her vocabulary is loud and so profane you can see the words ketchin' fire right as they come out'ter her mouth! Had supper and a few brewskis with "Almost Willie" Tom Bradshaw and have a pic of him on the wall. He does look and sound almost like Willie. We also got to meet KISS members, Carlos Santana, and some of the Arrowsmith guys. Oh, I almost fergot. Ruth did get a recording of Willie and me singin' CRAZY.
