Kid,
Good to hear from you again. You always spark a comment from the Old Dog so I'll share a couple of thoughts with you. Of course I would prefer to be supportive and brag on you a little but; since you give me very little reason to, I'll have to continue with being a "pain" in your big Texas a**. Ha!!! Also; EddieR seems to enjoy me giving you hell so I may exaggerate a little for his benefit.
First of all, you blaming the guys having to vomit on the heat was a good excuse but I'd beg to differ. I'm going to guess you were singing your songs "acapella" for them, even though you may not have realized it.
An "almost" true story from the Old Dog. When the Three Stooges (You, Me, and Philboy) were in Nashville last month and spending Friday evening in my Motel Room, you continued to sing one Texas Ballad after the other. Mostly acapella but with an occasional guitar strum (even if it was the wrong chord and usually out of beat).
When I excused myself to go outside, it wasn't to smoke a cigarette, it was to get sick and vomit over the 3rd floor balcony. I got away with it twice but the 3rd time I hit the manager of the Motel coming out of his office. I nearly got kicked out of my room (I don't understand cuss words from India but now I know what they sound like when I hear them); but I managed to talk my way out of it because I promised him you would stop singing soon, plus I agreed to pay for his dry-cleaning bill. Now that's "almost" the truth (but it makes for a good story and a good chance to tease you a little).
Hey, then there was that mention of you using a Luden's cherry cough drop and not a BreathSaver. Please allow me explain to EddieR about that conversation. You were complaining to me about your mouth going dry while performing on stage. When I suggested a Breathsaver, it wasn't to help you with your dry mouth, it was to help you with your bad breath. Not sure if a Luden's will help with that or not; but good luck.
Now, my last comment for you. When you deal with working in the heat all day and have to drink gallons of fluids, that seems like a personal situation you need to deal with and keep to yourself. When you get home to your lovely wife (and I've met your wife Katie and she truly is lovely); maybe you should give her a hug and tell her you've missed her and it's nice to be home (you know, something on the more romantic side). I think the last thing she wants to hear is "Hon, this is the first piss I've takin all day". Geez!!! Even an old guy like me knows better than that.
Otherwise Kid, have a nice day, good speaking with Ya. Ha!!!! (of course I'm only teasin Ya Brother).
