Some Comments
By Jim Batchelor

"Legs" Larry Smith came out before the band and did a little dance with his ukelele for a couple of minutes. The crowd had to wonder what was going on. Then the real show began with the accoustic Smile & Easy Now. Layla was the shows finale following an extended version of Let It Rain and his introduction of his band. Then he came back for an encore with Badge & Little Queenie to end the show. Needless to say, it was quite surprising for the crowd when Peter Townshend joined EC on Willie & the Hand Jive and Get Ready. Double the excitement when Pete returned to the stage with Keith Moon to join the band for the encores.

happy halloween!

i was casper and my friend dawn williams was the witch!...

THE BEATLES: John, Paul, George & Ringo talk about ELVIS February10, 1964 Elvis Presley sends a congratulatory telegram to the Beatles. The Beatles visit Elvis home in Bel Air on Friday August 27, 1965 during their second USA tour. The Beatles visit lasted 4 hours during which time they told stories, joked and listened to records. The five of them even had an impromptu jam session - at the time no one thought to record the historical event.

midatlantic championship wrestling...

right up lee st. from 710 lexington...
the greensboro coliseum was the hotbed of the midatlantic scene in the 70's and into the 80's...
i believe i went to both of these matches!

took....

my 10 year old daughter to BB's cd's in the quaker village shopping center in greensboro n.c. last night.That was after eating wings at Elizabeth's pizza.(same center)....
She asked me to buy her Abbey Road...
I can't describe how much that meant...
thanks, Phil

true story...

daddy was coming home with my uncle ervin in the car(then 14 or so)...along the way he got a speeding ticket...when home he then proceeded to tell mother what happened...well,mother wasn't havin' any of this...she then lit into him for twenty to thirty minutes....both of them defending their driving styles and history...daddy unfortunately had an accident,and now a ticket, he had to defend...facts that mother jumped on like a lion on an antelope.....her last comment being..."and i've never been in an accident,either!"...

daddy paused...and after some deliberation he said...
"well...maybe...but how many of them have you caused?

ervin had to run outside on the porch to keep my mother from seeing him...
he was laughing so hard

the REAL COLTS.....

for anyone that is interested.....while still living at 710 lexington ...
i hid my head in a fine naugahide chair(better than leather, according to daddy)...jim obrien's winning field goal soared through the uprights to defeat the Dallas Cowboys 16-13....
here are the stats for the REAL Baltimore Colts that last won a superbowl.....
not the bogus replacement Colts that should be named the Indy Racers or Brickyards or who gives a shit...
