I'll agree Joe > very talented = makes me envious, [they all do] even ISO -wink- as I had to follow a more structured career path [back in the day] and his choice for me, being oldest G-kid was to be But did not happen After getting chewed out by by my grandfather, at age 11 once my mom told him I popped on my Raleigh 10 speed "and road out to go to the concert in Woodstock" on a Saturday morning 1969 [lol] after he called and asked where I was = as I did not tell her [of course] "A" was "home" "B" was only 42.7 miles = piece a cake at 10-15 miles an hour easily!! 1) Gramps place = 8.7 miles = did daily all summer long Monday thru Saturday from about age 10 thru 15, as him and his cronies had money in [as back then it was private] so work my ass off daily and then "hit the links" after 4/5pm for 9 holes or more till almost dark and ride home. Starting pay? $ 0.10 per hour So, I got to # 2 that Saturday am and still remember the ride vividly also, and stopped at a gas station for directions "to the rock concert in Woodstock" 2 guys just started laughing their arses off, and said that is New York !! So how in the heck was an 11 year old supposed to know their was another Woodstock [haha] as it sure was not on the map I had ;-) Anyway, a day or 2 "he came to our house for my lecture" [and rarely ever come inside the house really] sat my butt down + Jimmy, there is NO money in Profession Sports, Auto Racing or Music [boy was he wrong it turned out] Since then I have just also been singing >> +++ Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues +++
