According to the history books on him, Jimi Hendrix did 217 performances and only 8 of them was south of the Mason-Dixon Line three in Georgia and five in Florida. Some in Texas. I got to see him in 1969 at Woodstock and heard him do the greatest version of the National Anthem I have ever heard. Was in the middle of a medly of songs and all at once broke into the Anthem. I learned later that he did the Anthem at almost every show where he performed in the United States. You can learn more about him on google.

Well I have 2 Bersa Thunders and Bersa Model 85 with 15 round capacity and all of them have Hornady Critical Defense in them and all the back up mags do to. If I can't stop a bad guy with a Thunder w/ 8 rounds he is either wearing body armor or he is superman.and in the case or Body Armor the last 4 rounds will be at his head if at all possible..................JMHO

There was quite a few performers that went rock with roots in Country and some Country that got their roots from Rock & Roll and some country music stars whos music crossed over and became popular on R&R radio stations. George Jones had a song titled "The Race is On" crossed over from country to Rock and Roll back in the mid to late 60's. I'm sure there were many others but that one stuck with me cause I liked it back then.

KISS is a little more modern and was one of my sons favorite bands along with 38 Special and White Snake............lol

If you got more, list more. Lets see how many we can remember. I forgot all about Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band!!!

I think you have nailed that one Raoul. The fans had more live access to their favorite bands back then. By live access I mean getting to see them live on stage at concerts. I regret never being much of a concert goer back then but I did get to attend to me the greatest concert ever. About 10 or 12 days before my deployment I got to go to Woodstock and that to me was the concert of all concerts. I don't know how many folks was her fan but I got to see Janice Joplin Perform Bobby Migee live on stage along side Hendrix on the guitar so does it get any better than that? Got to see CCR and The WHO . There was so many great stars there you could not see them all.

I was waiting and wondering when someone would finally pop up with ZZ TOP!

I have a ton of MO Town performers I could list but many of them didn't have permanent bands as best I can tell. I kind of thought that most of them had great studio musicians and I think Smokie Robinson provided them with a lot of their music like The Funk Brothers in Mo town and the Wrecking crew in L.A. was evidently responsible for most of the music.

I think it might be fun for us old farts to go back in time a few years and pick your top 5 bands/groups and put them in the order of your favorite starting with favorite 1st. I was going to go with 10 favorites but afraid of puttng that much pressure on old memories including mine going up in flames!!! Feel free to list as many as you can honestly remember enjoying listening to or seeing in concert. We can do another one on favorite singers once this one has maxed out. Folks has gotta have some fun in these serious times. I will start it off and if a band/group is on someone elses picks you can use them also as one of your picks. 1. Steppenwolf 2 Credience Clearwater Revival 3 The Doors 4 Rolling Stones 5 Led Zeppelin

If I was to try and pick 1 favorite band from the 70's I don't think I could just pick one Maybe a top 10 but not just one. There was a lot of bands that came out of the 60's and into the 70's. One thing I will never understand and probably never will but I will never understand how and why CCR never was voted a #1 song and never had a #1 record. I know they had my vote but that was only one of my favorite bands.

Yep, seen that too. It's like ordering Honda Emblems and putting them on a Rolls Royce. A real mechanic can spot a fake box in a heartbeat.............JMHO

I did some digging into Robert Johnson and some say the devil taught him how to play and others say the Devil use to meet with Jonson at the cross roads and tune his guitar for him allowing him to be able to play. The intersection of Hwy 61 and Hwy 49 are what folks say it was but actually according to actual history back when Robert Johnson was alive that cross road intersection now was actually about 1/4 mile away from that one and they did away with the original crossroads with new construction in later years.

I might be wrong but I would say he was on more than alcohol to withstand that many taser zaps and still be able to do what he did including drive himself to a hospital with a bullet in his head..............JMHO Glad the officers didn't die.

Thats an interesting story. I know my Grandmother mentioned something about it to a friend once but never knew what it was.

Robert Johnson was a great blues singer and guitar player and yea I knew about him. My Grandmother spoke of him and his music as she loved the blues while I was growing up. It seems to me but not sure but wasn't he suppose to have sold his soul to the Devil to be able to do something with music? Seems my grandmother told someone that one time and I over heard her say it. Never heard what it was.

RIP Aretha Franklin You will surely be missed and I have enjoyed your music most of my life.

If they were seeking attention they found it. Not the good kind but none the less it was attention............JMHO

That sir is a question that I don't think has an answer................JMHO

LOL........If I ever retired the idea of 380 Carry I would not be able to carry at all and I just don't see anything light about the 380 Caliber like some folks do........

The terrible decision was qitting their jobs. Anything that followed that was just plain old stupidity.............JMHO

Yea a couple buddies of mine have some of them and they like them a lot. They said that they do like batteries though so need to keep a stock of batteries around. They also said it depends a lot on the amount of traffic it gets. I have only had a doe and two fawns pass through my yard since I moved here so won't have a deer issue. I do have a local Gray fox that shows up once in a while but normally he is just passing through the back yards along the fence row. I think I might have to re aim the photocell on the back lights cause I think I have rabbits or some other small critter sitting them off and turning the lights on. I will probably get one of the driveway alarms next time I get by one of the stores.

I love the car. Would make a real good Hot Rod with the right builder.....JMHO

Well I have kinda ruled out the 4 legged critter cause I don't think one could carry off a full 20lb bottle of propane. I looked at some of the stuff Harbor Freight has to offer and they have a couple things and some cameras also . They have a driveway alert system that is motion operated and it triggers a unit in the house if anything sets the unit off in the carport. It can be set high enough where critters would not trip it. It's only 14 bucks plus the batteries. May pick up one of them next time I get near one of their stores.

I also have tried the rechargeable flashlight and batteries and never found one that was worth salt so I also just keep back up non rechargables for my flashlights so I can change on the fly.

Recently I have been having issues with things being moved around in my carport and at first I thought it might be a critter like a possum or a coon and occassionally my back lights get tripped light up the carport and back yard. Now I am beginning to think it is a two legged critter. Last night I had a 20lb tank of Propane go missing and my 5 gallon gas cans where moved in order for them to get to the propane tank. The gas cans were all empty just moved. I normally have 3 full tanks of Propane for my grill. I was down to 1 full tank and was needing to got get the others swapped out. Glad I didn't now but bothers me knowing I have a thief working the area. So with that said without spending a fortune I am looking to invest in a camera of some type so I can see who it might be. Things have been being moved around for about a month+ now from time to time. This is the first time something has turned up gone so I think who ever it is has gotten braver. If anyone can give me a lead on a camera that won't break the bank it would be appreciated.
