Last time I looked, I coulda swore Washington and Texas were right next to each other. But then again, I can't find my glasses... :lol:[/quote]


I'm looking at my map in the atlas and they're only a coupla inches apart. Hey - what's that tiny blob West of France - got my specs on. Oh - its Britain :shock:[/quote]

You really do measure in inches! :mrgreen: :?

Everything is bigger in Texas, it's measured by the pound there.

Ready for Ninfo's Kenney Bob?

I don't know if I'll ever be ready, West. Although frightening, the anticipation and preparation have been a blast.




You're sounding ready to me, Scratch! Fright is normal, but having fun preparing is the key. Really looking forward to how it goes. Would love to be down there to catch the show...

You all are awesome; your comments sustain me with courage to get on up there. In fact, I'm working to get Tom Petty's 'Won't Back Down' cleaned up in time for next week.

I'll be happy with not totally embarrasing myself. Several co-workers and friends have decided to make this a fun night out. I don't know if that will make me more comfortable or more nervous.

I guess the neatest thing is that this is something I've wanted to do since I first started playing about 40 years ago. It might be mid-life identification crisis, but I wanna look back someday and tell myself: "Hey kid; ya finally did it."

"Now about that walk in space thing..."

And then I want your autograph! I think we may have a senior star in the on the horizon.

And by the way Ken, I've seen several folks play for people that weren't even close to you in terms of talent, and that's a fact. When you get up there, forget all this hoopla, absolutely relax, and after about 1 song, you'll find "the zone"! My gosh man, you play guitar, sing, play the harp, and write beautiful music. You've got a lot to offer people, they'll enjoy it. Or do like I do and close your eyes and put the people out of your mind. They probably think I'm asleep, I know they are. Go gett'em brother.

Very, very nice, Graham!

I think there's enough room on that marquis to add "Plus Special Guest: Cryogenic Jerry".

:lol: I was referring to "Cryogenic Jerry". BTW, when I buy the farm, that's what I want too, to be frozen and thawed when they figure out how.
