The day the music died.

OK, you got me a bit confused on that... ??

LOL... dunno how I did that, mind was elsewhere, I guess. I meant Jeff Beck. Will go back and fix that.

Oh, ok!

I thought I was losing it.

Well, you might be! One thing need not have anything to do with the other.

Sad about Gordon Lightfoot. IIRC, he's been sick for a while.
Great artist, song writing, singing, playing.
I watch his vids often online.
Wished I'd seen him in concert...

Back in the early 70's we went to a day long music festival where a lot of very popular bands at the time played...I don't think 'Ike and Tina' were slated as the headliner but the MC (Wolfman Jack) kept telling the crowd they were coming up...after all the other bands had been bused out they played canned music for at least an hour while the MC would cut in ever 15 minutes saying they were on the way...
...They never did show...if more people would have hung around wolfman may not have made it out of the stadium in one piece...
