Remind me later

I have a couple of new posts in the wings. One about bicycle rules of the road ( everybodys doing it) and a couple of more band odds and sods, plus an introduction to the newbys-Dalls and Shelly ( gotta get permission first) I also wanna do " What I am gonna do with my money when I hit the mega millions jackpot". I also learned a new term this week-dooced. I 'slpain later.
Another thing rockin my world is the reformation of the original TORA TORA. Thats's right the original rock n roll band from Memphis is gonna be at Newby's on June 28th. I am trying to go but in my truck it would be about $400 in gas alone----so keep hitting those adds whether you buy something or not. The whole family and I will probably get down to Memphis after the 12th ( Mom's class reunion) and the 26th (sis's class reunion)
So remind me to post real soon. I have short term memory loss from K hitting me in the head with an iron skillet--or maybe that was Granny with Jethro or Andy Capp's wife. Oh well, who can remember---I sure can't.

The band-episode three Return of the So nigh

This here is Rick. He is the reason I am an Ohio Briar. We met one night at a local wing joint while I was playing NTN music trivia. He was watching and trying to coach me on the answers. I have never met anyone who can beat me on music trivia-and Rick ain't one of 'em. So impressed was Rick that he started asking me how I knew so much about music. I 'splained to him that I am from Memphis and it is part of the requirement to live in the city and surrounding area. He said he and his son had a little band together with him playing trash cans and his son playing a guitar he did not know how to tune & would I like to hear a recording of it. Heck yeah I would. So out to the car I go and what I hear sounds like an early recording of Velvet Underground/Grifters/Guided by Voices/Tom Waits. It was stinkin beautiful. We met up at Rick's garage for a hootenanny and turned out a song that ended up on a GbV tribute CD the first day. Common Rebels. From there it's been all downhill( isn't that the best part of the roller coaster) and I count on Rick to keep me in & out of line, to keep me on time (his time) & I depend on his as a surrogate father/crazy uncle. I have grown really close to this extended family and I hope it never falls apart. With me, Rick, Adam and Jim there is a chemistry that is explosive and caustic and beautiful and encouraging all at the same time. Rick has since slowed down his outings with the Briars ( he is in his 50's) but the hard hitting beats are still there as of last week when we played together again. And for this I salute you Rick---Briar for life. word.

As for the title of this post----It never fails that Rick calls me so nigh instead of sonny--so as in so and nigh as in the time is nigh. SO NIGH. Hey it sounded like Jedi. Just trying to keep a theme here....jeesh.
