Hey, you’re about 5 hours away from my little Texas town. Austin is only 2. I may indulge myself, and come see y’all. I love Lyle Lovett. He was great in The Player “One of us. One of us.” Also, I want to commend you on your camera work. I noticed in your Savannah video you’re not even using a steady cam. All hand held. New subscriber - takes a lot to get me to do that. Rock on!

So in retaliation because Bob wouldn't turn it off, the woman's husband got into his truck rolled the windows down and started blasting Ted Nugent Stranglehold.

I had neighbors years ago that went at it most every night around 1 am until the break of dawn. I thought about calling the cops a few times but another neighbor beat me to the punch. Besides I was afraid they would figure out it was me then both of them would scream at me THEN I would have to call the cops. It's important to have good, quiet neighbors who don't wash their vehicles at midnight

On disability from a whip lash since 93 and living in Thailand since 2000 your walks take me places I'll never see. One old time guitar guy named Jorma lived down the road a peace from my home farm in Ohio. I've been told I used to talk to him in the 90's but had no idea who he was.

In the town of Kilsyth near where I live in Glasgow Mr Sklar , there is a road called ' Tak Me Doon ' road ,which translates into Scottish vernacular as 'Take Me Down ' road ! I'm guessing there aren't too many roads or streets in Texas , with such names over there ? It won't be too long until they name a road or street after yourself ...Leland Sklar Street ! Yes , that's got a nice ring to it ! Very fitting ... Have a good one ....thinking of Mr Bruce Knight at this time too .
