   Thinking is not only for the young, everyone has to do it!

   I'm in it for being successful, radio airplay, Grammys, gold, platinum,   
   diamond records, etc. and most of all, making The Difference!

   Why not rehearse? That way, when we play what we feel, from the  heart, with   
   the Love Vibe, and jam, we'll Know Exactly what we're doing!

   It was real enough for the time, but not many of the Real country tunes, and   
   they didn't have a fiddle or pedal steel player, or even a mandolin or   
   banjo, just guitars, bass, and my keys.

   That's why I'm always saying that to be Real country, it's got to be from no   
   later than the '60s and before.   
      
   > Uncle Pen.   
      
   Now there's a real hillbilly tune, kind of reminds me of The Dillards as the   
   Darlings on The Andy Griffith Show.   
   How about "Ebo Walker"? EEEEE HAAAAAH!!!   
   Now there's some Real Country, but don't forget the Western too ;)

   Got to follow your dream and do what you  Love!

   I wouldn't mind putting something out there, it'll help with getting   
   exposure.

   Depends on how serious they were in the first place.

   What kind of material were you playing? Was it Original?

   You've got to have Pure Motives first!   
   I've heard so may impure motives, want to be a 'rock star', 'chick magnet',   
   'groupies', 'rich', 'famous', etc.   
   I'm pursuing Pure Motives - I want our Music to be the star, and be famous,   
   and make The  Difference and usher in a brand new interest and total revival   
   of rock & roll to a level even greater than when it first started, and while   
   I'm at it, help bring back the hippie movement, like it's never been before,   
   and a Genuine, Honest, Serious, and Truly Psychedelic one this time!!!   
   And psychedelic basically means self-manifesting, pretty much the opposite   
   of Depersonalization, which is more rampant now than ever before.

   Then need shelter to be safe from predators, most of them anyway.   
      
   > yep, he's an idiot.   
      
   Taking innocent life is worse than that!   
      
   Reminds me of a story the plant manager where I used to work with speakers   
   told me. That he had a nasty neighbor who liked to run cats down with his   
   car...until comeuppance caught up with him and he killed his last cat.   
      
   While hitting a cat at high speed, one of the poor kitty's bones broke   
   leaving a sharp edged surface, which subsequently punctured his front tire   
   and caused it to blow out, causing his car to go completely out of control   
   to the point where it flipped over, several times.   
   The bad news is that the cat didn't survive, but the good news is that   
   neither did the cat killer.

   Humans aren't the only animals that like to roam.   
   My father used to tell me about when he used to live in a suburb of Chicago   
   known as La Grange, which at the time actually lived up to its name, meaning   
   The Farm, and he and my mother had a small farm, and a horse, who was fond   
   of roaming about...so it was a regular event when he'd get a call from the   
   Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) factory to tell him that his horse was over   
   there grazing around and exploring, again ;)
