Bruce In HIs Element

It appears that I can no longer add to the original piece about ol' Bruce, so, as I find photos, I guess I'll just add them in new posts.

This is the perfect shot of Bruce...at his stereo, surrounded by his music, CD in hand, about to put on some tunes as we either play ping pong or thump football.  Seems like every time I went to his house, he was either sitting at the stereo or, in later years, at his computer fooling with the music.  He's wearing one of the Grateful Dead shirts I used to sell.  Often, when he wore this Jerry Garcia shirt, people would ask him why he had a pic of himself on his shirt.  When that hair was long and going wild, he damn sure did resemble Garcia!

I see a Treat Her Right album in the background, a Gate Band CD, a blues collection on top of one stack of CDs, and a Blind Boys of Alabama on top of the middle stack.  These old eyes can't make out anything else.

Let's see...open his door, "Whatcha doin'?", "Got a beer?",  "Let's go ride around."

Good times.

Lee Pratt played this for me and Bruce at Lee's brother's house (the brother who later taught at Old Dominion...to whose home we hitchiked thru the Smokies.) Same day I was made aware of Eric Quincy Tate.

In View of the Bobby Petrino Fiasco...

...and all other instances of football coaches, politicians, and other men in positions of power getting into trouble with hot, young girls...

I just wanna say I appreciate every POA I've ever gotten. Not a single one of you girls could have possibly assumed I had any money or power!

Posters From My Younger Daze

This Zappa poster came with the LP. Still have it framed and hanging in my "shed".

Last time I remember seing this great poster it was hanging in my "hobbit house" on Paterson Road. I need to look for it.

Not sure if I still have this one. It was huge.

Thought this was so cool. Shook folks up. I found one last year to replace my original.

Still have this one, too. My copy is more light orange.
