The wife and had the pleasure to spend 5 days in Branson, MO last week. One of the shows we saw was 'Ol Mr. Daniels.
Man, that guy is 82 years old, and still is 'sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot!' in the immortal lyrics of 'The Devil went down to Georgia'!
He played for 90 minutes and only took one small break.
We were in the 10th row in front of the right bank of speakers, and at the end of the show, the wife and I looked like the guy in the speaker ad where he is sitting in front of the speaker with his hair blown back...just guess that shows my age, but his show was awesome!

I once saw a "tribute" Charlie Daniels in Laughlin, a few years ago. He was pretty damned good, I can only imagine what the real McCoy would be like.

Many years ago up in Lake Tahoe we were remodeling the theater/stage at Harrahs and Charlie Daniels was to open, We spent a week listening to him and his band practice for the opening. Was pretty cool. We got to watch and chat during lunch etc. Good show. Glad he is still around.

Charlie Daniels is a national treasure.
If any get a chance - attend one of his annual Volunteer Jams in Nashville.
They have been going on for over 40 years. Most remarkable is the fact that in his younger days Charlie was on stage from early evening to the wee hours of the morning, regardless of the current act or style of music.
Charlie and guitar player Tommy Crain and keyboardist Taz (can't remember his real name, and I hate that). Both awesome musicians who met untimely ends.

Good ole JoeF from back east! I just checked and you haven't posted in 3 years! Must be out on parole? Good to see you checking in.

PS Your email address cracks me up, BTW.

Been a busy few years, new job and all.
A lot like prison - 13 12 hour days on, one off for a couple of years. Ain't worth it.
Had a few minutes today and thought I'd check in and see if everyone was still kicking.
The music related posts caught my eye. That, and the one about the demise of Huntmasters. Real hard to keep my mouth shut on that one!
I hope that all is well with everyone - I've lost track. No time to hunt, etc.... so I haven't been keeping up with the(se) board(s).
All my light batteries have gone bad, etc...

P.S. - I should get bonus points for remembering my password!
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 17, 2018, 01:42 PM:
It's in the mail. Look for it.
Posted by JoeF (Member # 228) on November 19, 2018, 07:45 AM:
No mail. That underscore may be a problem free_bird21@
I was surprised I remembered the password, this is the only place I've ever used it.

I was kidding, Joe! You know, like the three biggest lies; black is beautiful, I won't cum in your mouth and the check is in the mail?
By the way, anybody that does forget their password, it is easily recoverable by clicking the my profile button in the upper right. I always tell these guys, if you want help from me and save me scrolling through thousands of applications, there are three things to remember, to find your account. First is member number #. Second is your screen name, and third is the email address you used when you registered. If you had a Yahoo account 5 years ago, and don't remember your password, or that you used a period or a space or a capital letter in your screen name, well guess what? The program can't find your password for you. The single best way to get what you need is the member number but I've only had one guy in the past couple years that actually knew his member number! AR Shaw knew his member number, very impressive!
Okay, useless info, I know.

until you need it! I think Loco holds some kind of record for asking for his password, which is practically every time he posts!

Hah! I was expecting an email something along the lines of "this and a quarter will buy you....."
I just drug a well picked over deer carcass out at a comfortable shooting range. Maybe I'll get lucky and kinda belong.

PS here I am, up in Marin with the Hot Tubber's. My first taste of $65 "decanted" wine, one I never heard of? Helping with dinner preparations. I made the scalloped corn with Ortega Chiles.

And, here I am, the only one up showered and dressed. I really don't get the relaxed lifestyle up here? It's like somebody said, maybe a sweater but shorts and flipflops. For me the damp chills me, although not raining today and the suns out.
