Sounds fine to me Paul, Sir Alan....I like it.

I'll now be able to ferry my goats on public transport, wear bright socks during Lent, and gut my fish whilst having a bath in the town square, all without being clapped in irons.

Ah...the finer points of aristocratic life will rest well on my shoulders.

Paul....thanks for the tip....It sounds good....Have you ever seen Double Trouble?....We are fortunate in Texas to get to see them quite a bit....It's also nice to see that the boy's have apparently been able to keep a decent living going since Stevie Ray's death....They have marketed themselves quite nicely over the years being the rythym section, and using the double trouble name on tours with Susan Tedeschi, The Arc Angels, Storyville and of course Jimmy D. Lane....The Arc Angel shows I've seen have been particularly good....One of the hottest bands in Texas during the early seventies was called Krackerjack which included Tommy and Chris, pre-Stevie Ray....They never made an album, and have recently reunited for some reunion gigs....Keep a look out for the album to be released in the near future....As I mentioned in a previous post, I would love to see Alvin Lee and Double Trouble as an act performing together in the U.S.

Take a tip from me Glenn, tell her it only costs half that!!!!!!

Rosie and I operate a system of mutual deception. She will appear from upstairs with clothes I've never seen before.....

"When did you buy those?..never seen those jeans before!"

"What these?...I've had them for ages, just needed to lose a few pounds before I could wear them."

In revenge, I let her go out with the price tag still dangling, or tell her I'm a whizz at getting bargains on the internet when something arrives.

" Honey Pie! Do you like my new Lear? It only cost me $9.99 from some guy in Bucharest. Didn't even have to pay shipping, the guy flew it over."

Alan and Paul, I have to finally tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth....I have the greatest relationship in the world....We have been together over ten years and we have always kept our own separate checking accounts, along with a joint account for mortgage, utilities, household goods and groceries....We have always and continue to split everything 50/50....Mortgage, dinners out, everything!....This way, she buys whatever she wants for herself without grief from me and if I want to blow a hundred bucks at the dog track on Friday afternoon with some buddies, theres no guilt....We don't have this conversation around my brothers girlfriend anymore because it makes her annoyed and a little crazy....Sure has kept my house a happy place to live for all these years though....Warning!....Don't let your spouse's read this post....This arrangement is not welcome in many relationships....Glenn

Paul, you gotta spend that money on B.B. pal!....He and I have the same September 16th. birth date....I turned 50 and B.B. is what 79 or 80 on this last one?....I've been saying for ten years....this may be the last time we get to see him perform live. At his age you have to assume your opportunities are certainly numbered....I know he's been doing his show sitting in a chair for years now, but it was still great the last time we saw him....Janet and I are going on a 7-day cruise on the Carnival Conquest next Sunday....my belated birthday present. This was supposed to depart from New Orleans, but is presently calling Galveston home....I noticed that B.B. is playing a two-night gig at a great little place in Galveston this Friday and Saturday night called the Grand Opera House....You know, one of those old timey looking opera houses with the long flowing curtains and small private balconies along the sides....We may have to find a way to slide down to Galveston a day ahead of the cruise to check him out....P.S....We had an unusual but entertaining evening out last night to see Randy Newman perform with the Houston Symphony Orchestra....First half of the show was Randy conducting the orchestra himself with accompanying film clips of the movies he's done the musical score on....Second half was Houston's conductor with Randy on Piano and vocals doing many of his well known songs....This was the second of three sold out nights at Jones Hall, which is a pretty large venue....Not your usual Rock & Roll show, but a pleasant evening out none the less....Go Astros!....Glenn
