Who came first? Dave Gilbert or Angus Young?
Rockets were certainly ahead of their time.

Hey Ivan,
The link works, unless you meant the genre didn't work for you. Thanks Christina.

That is great. You might've enjoyed the recent convention of street rods in Syracuse, as well as its famed Dinosaur Barbecue.

Great tribute, Jim, and the essay you linked is epic tragedy.

It's a good article you linked to. Very sad all round. Lovely final words uttered to his wife though...

It seems that I'm the last one to re-find you JR. Thanks for commenting on my blog so I could track you down....I've missed your posts.

LOVE that style of music. It gets my toes tapping and makes me want to get up and dance like a crazy fool. 'Course my kids would be humiliated if I did that in public. ;D

Gone before his time indeed..but what a legacy he left with his music.

They're really good. I love that sound. They have a bit of a Fogerty sound.

Very sad story.

Rockin the house at 4:00 AM

No way to keep the peace, but a good note to end the night with.
