MAB,
Always good to hear you share your feelings about how much you appreciate your life and the special people in it. Your special talents allow you to be a part of some great moments in music, and carry a long list of friends that help make it so rewarding for you.
Note also; there are many of us around the country that feel blessed having you as a friend also. This old guy included.
Now the Old Dog has no talent to perform songs, not so good on the guitar, and can't write all that well. I don't have a sweetheart of a girl like your Tina, a cute dog like Dixie, a beautiful home like yours up on the hill; a new vehicle to ride around in, or all the potential hit songs like you have in your catalogue. However, I have it pretty good too.
Why, I have a very nice home in Ohio. It has it's original tires and everything. Why last fall, I put some new indoor/outdoor carpet in my bathroom. I liked it so well I ran it all the way up the path leading to the house. Life is good. Ha!!!
Hey, I enjoyed the video on Thom and his road trip. I enjoyed his stop at Skyline Chili also. All of that cheese looks like too much but it melts into the chili and spaghetti and is pretty tasty when you mix it up. I could tell Thom really enjoyed it. About Thom doing your Grand Opening song. That is really a great song and Thom is certainly a smooth singer and guitar player. He did good with it.
Have a great day,
OD
