B'rer Bear, You played with Doug Sahm, huh? Impressive! He was good! He knew when to pick 'em up and when lay 'em down! But for some reason, To me, Doug Sahm was kind of like opera to me. I really appreciate the the skill to do what he did, but it just didn't move me. He didn't excite...

Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughn just about grew up playing the bars in Oak Cliff. Stevie Ray just amazed me, with how much sound he could get out of one guitar. There is a guitar slinger playing now, named Kenny Wayne Shepard, who is a dead ringer, musically, for Stevie Ray. Billy F Gibbons really...

Those are the guys, Mike! Thank you! I am glad to know they are still working! Texas Playboys: I often ponder, just why did he name the band the "Texas"Playboys? He played almost excusivley in Tulsa, until he went into the Army. When he left the Army in '43 he played almost exclusivly in...

B'rer Bear, I, too, am shamed that I didn't know the Gene flew the Hump. The Rules and regulations of being cowboy remind me of an act I saw somewhere(I have seen so many unknown acts, I have trouble placing them chronologically and geographically.)(Actually, I have trouble chronocling my own...

I come from a line of singers. My father had a powerful voice. (My broken neck didn't get my voice and left side, it was the surguries to fix the neck that did me in) And he always said his two favorite songs were Gene Autry singing"Who Honked My Saddle Horn" and "How Can I Miss You, If you...

Br'er Bear, Your comment about Police fear of concerning a domestic dispute, brings to mind another situation I found myself in. More humorous than frightening, although I probably should have been frightened, looking back. I was too green to realize what was happening. On my first...

Guys, I really appreciate your understanding, but I do think that tale wasn't appropriate in this arena. And I am sorry I wrote it. I couldn't sleep for days after it happened, and now I am back in the same loop. I wasn't afraid at the moment, the little training I had, took over, and I did...

I apologize to everyone for that last post. It had no place here, and writing it renewed a lot of bad memories. I will remove it. Jim

Well, It seemed pretty cotton pickin' humorous to me. I admire Shatner's character's confidence and calm. For me it's two rounds, center mass, and change position.And repeat, until I'm the only one left trembling.

I have shamed myself, but I honestly didn't know at the time. I once paddled 45 miles in two days. What was I thinking?! On that paddle, I did see lots of deer, raccoons, giant gar, opossums, one naked lady, (she was on a bluff overlooking the river, and invited me to come up. I declined.)...

I actually gave a friend a 400 pound hog for a wedding present. He was having a BBQ for a wedding reception. Another friend and the wedding boy, and I slaughtered and dressed out the hog, and then I wasn't invited to the wedding. :lol: (Maybe it was because I killed pigs in the backyard.)

And oddly enough, age is secondary to attitude. In my life, I have seen twelve year old men and women, who willingly shoulder adult responsability, and should be considered adults. Only the lack of depth of knowledge, prevents them from functioning as adults. On the other hand, I have seen boys...

Br'er Bear, I am holding my nose, but laughing anyway.

Thank you, Bilge, for compelling me to go further into this young man's story. I actually know a lot of the skills that are present at this time on this website. Even as a tot, I was interested in do something with nothing. I got very little advice from my father in this endeaver, and a little...

These are nice little canoes, and one remakable young man. He won't be found in the pool hall or the video arcade, and probably not in an opium den. And he writes pretty darn good, as well.

Chuck, A question I should have asked long ago. Does Neil have a "Thought Police" filter on this forum? Since the opinions expressed here are terminally rational (Goofy, but rational), we may be in governmental danger! If Washington gets wind of a forum that expresses intelligent...

A strange phenominon I have noticed, over the years- folks that have bad neighbors, generally have bad neighbors whereever they live. People that have good neighbors, generally have good neighbors whereever they live. I once bought a house next door to a very unhappy man, who told me all the...

Being dyslectic and manic-depressive, I suppose I should be offended! However, I found the post hilarious I also have a great sense of humor! nonetheless, I an honor boud to get you for this! I KNOW where you sleep! (North Amrica,right) The home world is calling I had better go.

Mick, I have never met these guys, and chances are, I never will. But, I like them. They have their priorities in proper order. There are elements in this realm far more important than gold, contrary to popular belief. ( But then, I have never been all that popular.) I am not a tree hugger...
