I saw Roy Clark play that solo when he appeared with the Boston Pops Orchestra with the late Arthur Fiedler. Awesome piece.
It was a show called "Evening at Pops".

It's very good Ozy, give one a try. Years ago it was Kieths Indian pale ale mixed with MacEwans dark that had a real buzz to it. Gettin too old for that way of life.
Take care Badeye ,,,
I'll take your word for it. And I know what you mean about gettin a bit old for that. Atm, I'm having a break from alcohol for the Lenten season. Can't imbibe like I used to. The 53 y/o liver ain't what it used to be.

I hear ya crowellb - I remember as a kid growing up in upstate NY - we'd have 24" overnight and still have school. I remember cussing the plows as the drove by all night. That's the problem in the south - no snow plows. Things literally shut down after a dusting of snow. I left the house at 8 a.m. this morning and major highways had still not seen a plow. I had no problem with my 4 wheel drive, but I wouldn't have wanted to be out there in anything else. I've been working in the mountains of West Virginia and have been dealing with this stuff since November. I loved the snow as a kid, but I would be happy to never see this white crap again. Looks pretty in pictures - you yankees can keep it.
Nuh-uh, you got it you can keep it. We, Yankees have had more than our fair share this winter. Time for some trickle down snow-e-nomics. Besides, isn't there a drought going on down south.
They need it more than we do. <grin>

I wish they would call off work up here in Minnesota for 4" of snow! Well...they maybe would if we had a lot of wind to create white out conditions...which is normally the case when it snows in southern MN. I describe southern MN's winter weather as a physical impossibility...it both sucks and blows at the same time!
We get cold in MAine, but, never so consistently cold like you get out in Minn. or the Dakotas.

Topdown, I'm sorry you didn't have the day off, I enjoyed it enough for us both though...GuitarPix, I wondered about you as well, but being close to Wilmington {as I remember} I wasn't sure you were getting any. Upyerkilt, yea even Alabamba got snow, odd for them. I'm a warm weather kinda guy, I can't imagine living in Canada, Scotland, or Maine as some of you do, but then I guess it's what you get use to growing up. Living here in North Carolina we get a taste of all 4 seasons, but I'm so rerady for spring, everyone stay bundled up, it'll be here soon!

Well, in a way we do get used to it. On another forum I belong to, a member from Atlanta was saying that when they get 3-6 inches of snow everything is paralyzed. Another member is from the UK and they got a freak snowstorm in their area and around London....same results.
Around here, 6 inches+ just means you drive a little more carefully and get to work.
Yeah, I'm ready for spring. Maybe some summer tunes will warm me up.

We got 24 inches of snow a week ago. Today we got about 8 inches. We're getting about a storm a week. Of course in Maine, March isn't called "The Cruelest Month" for nothing. <sigh>

Now I feel nauseous. <grin> But, I seriously loath Pat Boone. As well as his daughter's singing of "You light up my life". The original overplayed, over saturated air waves piece of crap. In second place is Celine Dion's version of "My heart will go on", from the movie "Trypanic", err, oops, "Titanic".

Re: THE BEST SONG EVER (37 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Oy, I have so many choices and so little time. I guess it would depend upon my mood. And some of the ones I'd pick are pretty obscure.
Pop (60') "Ryngs" by cimarron
Folk "Get and go, got up and went" as played by Pete Seeger
"Wendigo" by Dwayne Storey as played by Mary McCaslin
Country "Skip a rope" by Henson Cargill
Rock Too many to single out any one tune but, I love "Journey to the center of the mind" by The Amboy Dukes
Hard Rock "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC
Got to stop here or I'll be typing all night.

Kroger Kost Kutter beer "BEER" was produced by Pfalstaff and wasn't at all bad considering the price. I consumed a fair bit of it in my college days. That and Wiedemanns was about all I could afford. Wiedemann's was an "acquired taste." We used to use Kroger Kost Kutter Light as a dare penalty. Whoever lost whatever game we were playing had to drink the Kost Kutter Light.
I'm with you on the consumption thing Ozy. A 12 pack used to last a night, and no more than a weekend. Now it lasts the better part of a month.

Yeah, nowadays it's one beer on a hot summer day. Quenches the thirst better than soda! <grin>
I did indulge in three beers while we were in Florida at the Pub that SouthPaw played at, but I was also consuming some awesomely delicious banana bread while listening to SouthPaw play. Good times.
