And a similar Leon clip, with Glen Campbell playing banjo backup...I thought that's what he said. But do you remember Leon lookin' like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3aCneSk6Uk&feature=related
Boy I'm glad I was too young to inhale during the 60s...
Hmmm....I noticed you didn't mention you were to young in the 70s, 80s or 90s...what, no comment? Or do you not recall those decades?
So Rennie....who's the other 25?
I'm gonna have to get up to your neck of the woods some day. We had been planning on that bike trail out of Wallace, but that will have to wait till next year. We have plans for some home improvements that will be making use of the vacations savings. Oh well.Rennie.....there's you and me.....who's the other 25?
Actually, you make 28 Didn't know about you.
My father had a big influence on my not drinking or doing drugs.....You see his biceps was as big as my thighs.....and he knew how to use the fists at the end of those big arms and wouldn't hesitate to use them....
Hmmmm.... similar influence here - my dad was a cop & ex-Navy - WWII south Pacific.
Another influence was the lead guitar player in our band.
We have much in common - I played bass in our little garage band. I was never very good at it, but I had lots of fun and our lead guitarist.... well... he had 'issues'.
In addition to my not-so-expensive bass, I also had a beautiful Fender 12 string acoustic. During some hard times in the early 70's I sold it to a friend who promised he'd sell it back to me should he ever change his mind and I had enough money to buy it back. Well, that didn't last long. He went to Virginia for a spell, got caught up in drugs, and sold our guitar. Took me a long time to get over that.
Right out of HS.....I was too busy changing jobs and chasing girls. Got drafted...enlisted....met the LOML.....went to bootcamp....got married....now I had a wife and 2 kids to support....who could afford drugs or even a beer and I was only 19 anyway and still not legal to drink.
Never went into the service. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing for me. High number on the lottery.
Besides....I could "trip" on the oil rigs where I worked.....I could "trip" on the music I was hearing.....I was tripping on life in general....what did I need drugs for?......Did I miss anything? I don't think so.
So Rennie....who's the other 25?
Not really sure - just going on hearsay.
No prob - no offense taken.Rennie and Ken, you can put my parents in there with you both...I guess your down to 23.
See my post to Ken - guess we're up to 30 now
If I was smarter when I was young, I would have tripped on life too...would have finished college in 4 years as well!...much smarter now!!
You and me both - as far as the college and being smarter part. Had dreams of being an architect. Oh well. Hard to do that on only a HS education. Went back to school when I was in my 40's to help make up for it.
Also, I didn't intend to stereotype your generation...just Art himself.
I noticed you didn't mention you were to young in the 70s, 80s or 90s...what, no comment? Or do you not recall those decades?
You mean, "experienced".man, some of you guys are really old
