Sad news about Bob Welsh, but love your story there, Dennis. It tells so much about both the time in music history and the musicians involved, so thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for all of your kind comments on my little story.
I know all of us here of a certain age have unique experiences of those days and times.
An event or passing may cause an inappropriate smile or grin .... people just attribute it to me telling myself jokes again.
It's a pleasure to share with others who know/understand the context of the times and what the hell I am rambling on about.
Not all my youth was mispent...at least not by my standards...ha.
