General Music Chat

Manners are not dead, though they are hemorrhaging from all this liberal self worship.

My dad
My best friend Frank
My grandparents
My kids (they live far away)
My ex's (all of them!)
My first guitar (a Teisco)
My first real guitar (a Strat)
Playing records with friends
Going to concerts for $6.00
Dancing
The milk man (and the bread man)
Coverleaf Dairy, the best sundaes ever
Blacklight posters
Going to the store with a dollar and getting a Hostess fruit pie, a Smith's root beer, and several candy bars
Getting a gallon of gas for a quarter

No regrets though I would agree with Kluggy on this. But that depends too, on where you are and who you surround yourself with. I'm lucky in that the people I've met have manners, those that do not, do not linger around me too long.

I miss these Italian subs they used to have at the Ringoes Pharmacy for 3.65$ that were so good, it's hard to believe.

I miss the beer garden at our old local fair because you could sit there and not move all night, but never be bored.

I miss the old dirt track they raced on here. They paved it and that sucked and shortly afterwards, that was that. SOLD to make a new Walmart and Lowe's. (grrr)

Wow, Thanks for sharin'

A lot of things ya all miss I am remembering some new old thoughts on what I miss.

I wounder what we all will miss in the future.

WOW Scott... You are definitely one cool person to share that...
I hope we get a chance to meet some day!

lol Glenny you are 2 hours and 10 minutes from me via 4 wheeled donkey cart.

I thought you were UPSTATE near Albany or Oswego etc.

Ooh on the island, hmm? Wow. Small World maybe even tiny.

I'm not that cool, probably more along the lines of "fool" but I don't mind.

If you need some real help and you're in a spot, just let me know.
I seem to get recruited for everything else, at least you'd be a worthy endeavor. (If I was a slave, I'd be dragging those giant stone blocks for some cretins pyramid.) lol

My truck is acting oddly though. Wish you were a tad closer but even the keys player I just met is 1.5 hours from me.

No matter how you slice it, if you aren't willing to put yourself out there, one has little chance of "winning the smiles". I guess I am just unafraid to fail and even though you get lumps, it's the only way to go...makes for good memories though and funny things to talk about while drinking at yon local watering hole...
