As long as we're "Not just sitting on the dock of the bay, Watching the tide slipping away" It's OK with me. Loved the last batch of posts everyone. JMR

How about "I CAN'T TURN YOU LOOSE" as your alternative AXC theme song, Hal? At any rate, I stand corrected on where Otis Redding's airplane crashed. (I'll try to verify it somewhere) >>>Otis Redding recorded his music on AMPEX tape at Stax Recording Studios, Memphis<<< GROK this. A TRUE STORY: (It really happened): I was lucky enough to see Otis' last performance on the planet, here in Cleveland at Leo's Casino. One of the folks who went with us, a young lady, had taken LSD to enhance her own enjoyment of the show in the 500 seater night club.During the show, she became quite adgitated and said, "I've got to warn Otis" We had to physically restrain her from walking up to the stage. We said, "Warn him about what?" She said, "Otis is going to die" We tried to reason with her. "Why is Otis going to die?" Her response? "Because he's >>READY<<" We got her to calm down by telling her, "Well, if Otis is "ready" to die, then you shouldn't worry about it." That did the trick, and she sat back down, apparently satisfied by our logic. We drove home that night thinking that we wouldn't take the lady with us to future concerts. She had been a real handful. The next morning or the day after, we heard the news on the radio. This was an actual event, torn from the pages of the 60s and the Twilight Zone. What would have happened if we hadn't kept her from going to the stage? Was it a random event, just another whacko chick on a bad trip? Or did my friends and I help fate and pre-destiny carry out it's cosmic script? You be the judge reader. By the way, Otis was great, he sang great, and he reminded me of a slow moving train in the way he moved, lurched, and rocked,. He was obviously ready for anything. He looked satisfied and content. At peace. He gave his only earthly public performance of DOCK OF THE BAY that night. (He did lip sync the record on 2 or 3 TV shows within the same week he "crossed over") AL
