      Brad is one of my favorites.  Such a talented songwriter, and monster guitarist.   A real joy to see.

      I've never see Lady Antebellum LIVE, but from what I've seen on TV, they harmonize exceptionally well together. I'm glad you had a wonderful time Gramz. 

       

      Did Ron go with ya? Or was it a night out with a few close friends instead?

      Glad to see that you & RG enjoyed listening to Brad Paisley recently Brent. 

  2. Loved the HOF Class this year.  Very proud of our two Colts inductees.

      Yeah, it was nice to see Dungy & Harrison go into the Hall together. I really liked how Tony honored the black sideline coaches that came before him, especially the kind words he said about Dennis Green. Very classy indeed.

      Slightly off topic: I really enjoyed Kevin Greene's speech. He is a very compelling speaker, has a good speaking voice, & with his vast knowledge of football, he would make anybody love to play under his guidance. Plus, his bronze bust was so Kevin man. haha Long golden hair & mean tenacity to annihilate all QBs in his path on the field. 

       

      His love & affection for his father's military career & all men & women in the service was just awesome.

      I also thought Jim Irsay did a solid job introducing Marvin too highlighting his tremendous work ethic. 

       

      I know he spoke first & that the sun was still out perhaps making it hard to see the crowd, but I always wanna see a person's eyes when they deliver a HOF speech talking about the pinnacle of their professional careers overall in context. 

       

      It's a minor point I know. I just wanna see their emotions as plain as day I guess. Still a good speech though on Harrison's part IMO. 

  3. Just spent the evening being entertained by James Taylor.  I was in awe of this man's amazing incredible talent.   "How Sweet it is"

      Are you seeing anyone else this summer? We are in the process of closing on our condo and doing some construction work so weve got too much money going out and are just going to wait until November for the reunion game in Indy

      @bababooey we've got a great outdoor venue a little over a 1/2 mile from our house. We walk up and listen to various types of music just walking around the area pretty much nightly.   Occasionally we'll get tickets and go to the shows.  Next week we have tickets for Lady Antebellum, and the end of August is Bonnie Raitt.   Yes, we're very much looking forward to the November game.   See you there...!!!!

      He has a great soothing/calming voice but it was much too soothing for me!  His concert was great but I wasn't the only one that felt that way.  Other concert goers were yelling, "We want your wife!"  That was in reference to Carly Simon - that concert was many years ago!  Again the concert was great but it had too much of a calming effect on me.

      I'm seeing crabbiness and Colts fans are not exempt

    4. Gramz

      Gramz

      Well that wasn't what I was referring to, but I suppose it also fits.  There's an awful lot of crabby everywhere these days, from politics, to sports, to heat related issues and so on. Sometimes I just think out loud.. haha. Carry on.

  6. How is your summer going so far...??  Miss chatting with you.

      I am doing well. You and Ron?  While I check in every day, I have not been as active. I miss you, SheColt, SCC, and many others here.

      Tanner is doing fine, thank you for asking. We're on our way to have lunch with him right now, as a matter of  fact.

      @southwest1 that Steve Miller concert experience is certainly a memorable one.  Front row seats made for a great time. And yes, I feel very fortunate to have such a great venue in my backyard,  so to speak.  @bababooeyHappy to hear you set the date.   Our summer is going greatso far, thanks for asking.@bababooey

    3. southwest1

      Thanks Bababooey for your additional info on Steve Miller my friend. There are days I wish I still had my Sirus XM Satellite Radio to hear so many genres, interviews, & comedians on it on a daily basis. 

       

      I had a feeling that there were politics & grievances real or imagined being played behind the scenes at the Rock N Roll HOF, which always upsets me. Good musicians & songwriters should be judged on their ability to play their instruments well, other artists they influence globally, the catchiness of their hooks, bridges, & choruses, their mass appeal over decades, gaining a following either underground thru bootleg demos or mainstream radio play, & record sales. 

       

      I was watching Dan Rather's show called "The Big Interview" on Axs TV channel last night & he was talking to Ann & Nancy Wilson from Heart on. Ann was talking about the sexism they dealt with for 3 decades by male journalists, executives, & Public relations consultants. Stupid nonsense like "Gee Nancy, For such a pretty girl you play guitar well." Talent isn't defined by a zipper in your pants you fool. Sigh...Or they expected both sisters to wear skimpy outfits in videos to sell more records. SMH. They never say to male lead singers, "hey tubby, lose some weight, step on a treadmill, & try on this girdle to hide your pot belly would ya? We're trying to increase your sex symbol status man not scare small children & mortify women dude." LOL!   

       

      I have so much respect for Ann & Nancy as performers & songwriters that it always infuriates me when some men assume that women cannot be tremendous musicians & trail blazers in their own right. 

       

      Anyway, thanks for the insights on Steve Miller buddy. A great guy, tremendous lyricist, & gifted on the guitar too. 

    4. southwest1

      Happy for you & your lovely fiancee BTW Bababooey regarding the condo purchase & nuptial plans in your immediate future. 

       

      Hey Gramz, I know I tease you a lot regarding your close proximity to a great concert venue. The truth is this: You appreciate how lucky you are to be so close to exceptional live music & you & your husband perform & entertain others yourself with compelling covers & high caliber original songs I'm sure as well. 

       

      I also like what you told me about Steve Miller frequently bringing a gifted amateur guitarist with his band whenever he goes on tour. That is so cool! And very gracious & kind on Mr. Miller's part. 

  8. Buckeyes well represented in this first round of the Draft.

      Bravo Gramz. As a civics buff myself, I admire citizens who exercise their 1920 right when called upon regularly to do so.

      Yes.  We saw them live this past July...  Their live show was very similar to the documentary.  We loved it, and so glad we got to see them up close, especially with the recent passing of Glenn.

      Veronica is a beautiful name & one she can carry easily into adulthood too. I know that you & your husband will spoil her rotten as you should. Nice.

    Life is Good.

      haha SW1   that was on Sunday...  We had a full house all day and through the evening. :)

       

  19. Hoping to start this weekend off right with an announcement of Marvin and Tony getting  elected to the HOF.

      I'm hoping Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce get the nod with them.

      I don't think those two made the last cut down to 15,   but I always enjoyed watching both of them.

      That's sad, Isaac Bruce at the least, was one of the best wide receivers I've ever seen. That Super Bowl loss in 2001 has really haunted that historic Rams team. Half that entire team would be in the Hall if they get ring #2.

      All I know is some hot momma in a flat bed Ford slowed down to take a look at me so that made my day. :P

       

      In all seriousness, I was saddened by Glenn's unforeseen departure. You will be missed Mr. Frey. Hades, I miss you even now.

      Have you seen the documentary, History of the Eagles?  My boss told me about it.  I started watching it lasty night.  About 3 and a half hours long.  But, very good.

  24. It's Been a Really GREAT Day.
