Actually one more to add, can’t believe I forgot it-
Not much past the cordials and calling my song.......I remember his voice singing the song Cry Cry Darlin.......you could hear his harmony blasting across the field......it was June 94 or 95 at the festival over at KY Horse Park.....back then the real music was out in the camping in the rough area....him and his buddy a mandolin player came over to our jam session and played and sang for a coupe of hours......he didn't play but a couple of songs but he sang on every one......it was right after they brought out their Carolina CD.....
Met Ali when he fought Doug Ford in Freedom Hall circa 1967-68. Also met Angelo Dundee at the same time. In fact, our pictures were in the Herald Leader. Still have the picture. Met Lyndon Johnson in high school. When I lived in Nevada met many stars who performed their. Prince, Sade, Tina Turner, and many bands including the Eagles, the Doobie Brothers, and AC/DC. Many more just to lazy to write. Had diner with Jack Nicklaus at the old Cliff Hagins Steak House on Winchester Rd. and played catch with Bear Bryant who was a friend of my grandfather and Happy Chandler. Pretty full life I guess.
Years ago my wife was a waitress at Executive Inn over by the fairgrounds......she me a lot of people while working there.......she says that Shatner was the biggest dick she ever met or served.......
When I remodeled the Odd Fellows building across from the Pendinnis club we had to hand dig the hole for the elevator shaft that we were putting in the building......I don't remember the outfit but we hired two temps to dig and wheel the dirt/sand out of the building.......Greg Page was one of the workers......he told us he was doing it to keep in shape......one hell of a nice guy.......he was such a hard worker I told him he had a job with us if he wanted it it..he didn't......this was probably 1986/87.....we renovated that building twice.....the had a fire a couple of years after the first remodel.......the second remodel we put a steel skeleton in the building along with the elevator......now they are trying to tear it down....
But never met anyone greater than my mother and daddy. They were my King and Queen. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way about their parents.
and what is wrong with a random hippie with a 5-string banjo.........asking for a guy I know...........
The bumps you feel are asteroids SMASHING into the hull of the ship. We're also flying without navigation and are just a tad of course.
To be completely honest, I had no idea who Lou Reid is. I just assumed that you misspelled Lou Reed.
Arguably... I'd put up Ted Williams (lost 4 of his prime years to war - Willie just one) and Babe Ruth ahead of him.
Tough to compare across generations - especially before integration - but Ruth's OPS was just otherworldly. Plus he was a great pitcher.
