Just wait, it's only a matter of time before you are asked to join a commune then the next thing you know it will be the NRA and then AARP. It never quits. Just be glad it wasn't an Air Supply cover band.

Glad you had a good time. Thefret has a new star - Kris.:master:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h16/auroraohio/11.gif Back in my day when I use to hang around with, oh darn, what's his name again - tractor guy, that's it. Anyway it was mandatory that we sang Proud Mary every morning before class started. The whole darn nation had to do it until some hippie type came along and pushed for it to be unconstitutional.

Fortunately it was replaced by Hendrix's version of Star Spangle Banner - rock on dudes and dudettes.
