Hey GA,
Man ,its weird writing about these exp..After reading it , I kinda flashed back to 84 and re lived it...

....Yeah , its sad but Ive got 18yrs of similar stories..I dont seem to learn from the past very well ....Blame it on the 12 string guitar and 70s'love songs...

.Heres one more then Ill quit.....When I was 19, I was playing 6 nites a week in Chilicothe OH..Stayin and playin at the Holiday Inn there on Rt 50...I met a girl who was 24 (old lady)...

...At 19 ,back then for the late 70's, that seemed OLD to me....Anyway, we hit it off and she started comin in to watch me play EVERY NITE....We'd go have breakfast over at the L&K after playin and talk, then go back to the room where I would serenade her till the wee hrs...MAN , I had it made....Yeah BABY....Now Phase 2.

.We we're there for a month so I was gettin worried that we both were gettin too attached so one slow nite (MON)I saw a girl sittin by herself for a solid 2 sets so I went over to talk to her (Diane wasnt there that nite)....I went over and talked with her the rest of the nite... Played our last song (Billy Joels "Just the way you are" said good nite to her and invited her back...NO BIG DEAL...Well, I guess a freind of Diane's was there that nite and told her of me talkin to this other chic..Some how she'd gotten a key to my room barged in about 4am ,high on something,with a knife ...I was in my underwear runnin across the 2 parking lots...THEN , she gets in her pontiac and tries to run me over ...Im hoppin up on the parkin lot lamp posts to get outta the way..Shes doin like 80 squallin tires, it was wild..

I finally made it to a truck to get under and stayed there for the rest of the nite in my underwear...Its harder than ya think gettin outta the way of a car at high speed..The worst was worryin about her comin back to the club....I was a sittin duck up on stage...Our next gig was just right up 23 in Columbus , so I was sweatin it out there for 2 weeks...Never did see her again.....
