Singin' the Blues or any other durn thing ya want.

[Leo Tanner]

Ok, I did think of another one, but derned if I can find it or remember the name.  Bo Diddley did it an George Thorougood covered it.  (Yes I'm sure I spelled his name wrong.)  It's about a guy who gets forced ta assist in a robbery an the bad guy gets caught in the end.  All I can remember is the part where the robber describes his gun as bein a 44 that shoots a ball an chain.  Then at the end, the police tell the hostage "Don't worry, we're going ta put him so far away, we'll have ta pump air ta him".

Anyone remember that one?

[Texas Lawdog]

Nope!   But can you hum a few bars?

[Leo Tanner]

Yeah, but you can't hear it. 

I will find it, as Pop as ma witness I will.

I understand the great Les Paul passed on today..........RIP

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Yep, another one a the greats is gone!

[Leo Tanner]

In tribute...

[Texas Lawdog]

Les was the true pioneer of electric guitars. We might never got to hear people like Chet Atkins or Roy Clark, not to mention a lot more performers.

[Arcey]

..........not to mention a lot more performers.

That's the truth. What would Kyle Busch have had ta smash at Nashville had it not been fir Polsfuss?

[Leo Tanner]

Les was the true pioneer of electric guitars. We might never got to hear people like Chet Atkins or Roy Clark, not to mention a lot more performers.

He invented alot of other stuff too.  In that clip I posted it sounds like Mary Ford has backup singers.  That's all her, Les made the first machine fer overlayin voice tracks.

Arcey, Maybe somebody needs to grab Kyle Busch by the neck and WHOP him on the pavement?

[Arcey]

Hell. Grab one them fans what has '88' shaved inta their back hair 'n sic 'em on 'im......

[Leo Tanner]

Don't we have another thread fer the racin stuff?



Yes, this music sucks but ya keep things tied tagether.

Jerry was a race car driver
And he drove so goddamned fast
He never did win no checkered flag
But he never did come in last
Jerry was a race car driver
Hed say el solo number one
With a bocephus sticker
On his 442 hed light em up
Just for fun

Captain pierce was a fireman
Richmond engine #3
Ill be a wealthy man when I get
A dime for all the things that
Man taught to me
Captain pierce was a strong man
Strong as any man alive
It stuck in his craw that they
Made him retire at the age of 65

Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old
Had too many cold beers one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole.

[Arcey]

Very good, Leo. Yes. There is a racin' thread.

But the comments weren't about racin'. They were about a guitar gettin' busted.

Try ta pay attention.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, Each year they have a Nationwide and a Truck Series race at Nashville. The winner of these races receive a special guitar as a trophy. Kyle Busch won the Nationwide race this year. He received the trophy and picked it up by the neck and slammed the body on the pavement.

[Leo Tanner]

I remember the story from over there.  He was tryin ta prove some kind a point an got another guitar after he busted that one.  I think Arcey posted it from the you tube.  It made me cringe ta see that custom go down like that.

See, I pay attention.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, I'm proud of ya!

[Leo Tanner]

Leo, I'm proud of ya!

That means alot Pop.  So I'm given this ta you special like.

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks Leo, Unfortunately that describes the relationships of a lot of fathers and sons now days. I didn't get to enjoy my Dad very much as a kid. He worked hard till I was in college. When he got elected Sheriff, he got a well deserved rest from hard work. The Cancer took him away from me about the time that he started having time to spend with me. Life is sorta unfair that way. I treasure the time I did get to spend with him, even at the end . I drove to Houston every weekend for almost a year before he past away.

[Leo Tanner]

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't stir up any bad feelings.  My Dad lives in Arizona so I don't get much time with him other than an occasional phonecall.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, No bad feelings, really. I just feel a little cheated sometimes.
