   Kneivel, Rufus and Ted Nugent. I wish I was able to be part of the lifestyle   
   and atmosphere but was just a kid. Stories, photos and old vinyl are all I   
   have left. I recently    
   purchased photos post fire via ebay and it seems surreal. Good to see the   
   acknowledgement of my fathers work here on the interweb.

   > Beyond my being a customer...back in the 70's or so I was around a bar   
   called Champagne John's...in Wheeling....and we made some memories....one of   
   the so called owners...Jimmy Patten..said he owned Rush up....the only other   
   person I knew who was    
   affiliated with the bar was Bob? or Don?...Lolly.....all I know...and I am not   
   afraid of any of it...was that Cook County holds the highest banner of Holy   
   Shit time....and I loved it....I survived running in and out of the rain   
   drops....huggss...   
   Kracker was a great band....they played by us...and at Monopoly Rock Club..
