Hi jpg, I just posted my reply to RR on the Tull concert. I'm still smiling ;-) Those old farts sure made my day. A quick side note. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to Tull's keyboardist about an incident at the concert. Since we had front row seats, we were right there at the end of the concert when Andy Giddings came over to us to give away his sweat soaked towel. I was hoping to get to shake hands with him, so I put my hand out. Andy stood there for a bit & then he pointed directly at me. Once he knew he had my attention he waved his hand from side to side. At that same time I could feel a couple of soft yet firm things pressing into my back. I quickly realized what Andy wanted. I stepped to the side & this young sexy babe walked around me & Andy kneeled down & personally handed his towel to the sex kitten. Needless to say, I wasn't going to let something like that go without comment. As Andy turned & walked off stage & shouted at the top of my lungs, "HEY ANDY!! What's the matter?? Aren't my boobs big enough for you?!?!" It gave the folks standing around me a good laugh. My e-mail initially sounded like I was upset that Andy would be so rude to a long time Jethro Tull fan so that he could make some babe's fantasy come true, when she probably hadn't even been born when Aqualung was still on the charts. Then I made it clear I was only kidding him & thanked him for a wonderful evening of entertainment & his excellent contributions to Tull over the years, etc., etc. I closed it by saying something like, 'The big sweaty guy in the front row.' I got a reply from him this afternoon. Here's what he said........ Hey Tim, Thanks for understanding and taking it all in the way it was intended! I really thought you were gonna make me feel bad. I know it's outrageous to do that waving-aside thing to you and to her, but she dug it, and she was asking me for the damn towel all through the show. I totally dig your support and know that without excellent people like you I wouldn't even be there! Next time you can have the towel, ok!! Like you'd want it!! When we're in your area again we'll have a beer or two, how about that. Once again, thanks for being a true fan and for your kind words. By the way, you're boobs may have been big enough but, ya know! Cheers anyway, til next time. Best wishes, Andrew Giddings ____________________________________________________________ Geeze, you'd think I was some star struck teenager the way I'm acting <gg>.
