Frkmry,
We must have been about 4or5 behind You.The Lady in front of us had blond hair{the one that put the roses on the stage}.My wife has long red hair,Iwas with her,at times setting on the guide rail also.
Saturday,
Thanks so much for the calender update..I usually don't have too much trouble keepin up with the year,But those months sometimes get me confused.I just get settled in with the current one,and in a couple weeks or so,they go and change it again.Living here on the farm,I don't get to town very often to mingle with the politically correct civilized peoples.I will sure try to be more carefull in the future.
Thank You Brink,and You were for sure correct on your assumption of no offense intended.Enough on that. Can't fess up just yet on what I gave Gordon,had hoped to get to talk to Him about it at 7-Springs,but that did'nt work out.My favorite memory of one of My favorite songs at Wolftrapp,You's should have figured that one out from the clues I gave about the critters of the night....
Sir John,
We saw You down front after the show was over,tried to make our way down,but that ahhhh, security person prevented that move.Thought we would see You coming out back after Gordon came out,didn't see you.Perhaps You exitted the front and went around the right side of the. theatre?? Absconded,Yeah,that was the word He used to describe the loss of the D-18GL to His son.I feel bad that Gordon lost possesion of it,but on the other hand,it is good to think that His son must have some interest in the acoustic realm.Hopefully He might carry on a bit of the family tradition...and no,the guitar that Gordon was sportin was not a D-18 GL.I'm pretty sure it was a D-18V,certainly with a few modifications to suite his needs.The reason(s) I think it is a D-18V(intage)The first night at Wolftrapp,I noticed the shine and reflection off the stage lights,and at the Keswick we were in the front row(behind the folding chairs)and I noticed the through bridge design of the Vintage series.I happen to have one,otherwise I would not have noticed this.But,as I mentioned,I still do not get the connection between losing possesion of His D18GL and His new one.I recall quite some time ago,that Gordon had a guitar stolen at some airport shortly after his recovery from his recent setback.Perhaps that was His old one that He used for many years.. And last but not least,well maybe least,I enjoyed Your reviews,but I think Ya may have overlooked a humorous little bit that occured at the last oncore at Reading.I'm suprised that it was not mentioned by anyone. Just another reason why I admire Gordon as much as I do.He is just as human as the rest of us mere mortals.If yer rememory needs a bit of joggin,here's a clue:As Gloria and I were exiting the premises,We were alongside two fully clothed lady's of the cloth. Gloria said to Brian,"NO wonder He apologized."
