I am paid to drink free beer, and while waiting for the next round, bang on a piano and sing passably on-key.

Towards the end of this, after a LOTTA stage beer, I get my moment...

Look at Peetie, just a young man with a dream having a Garden Party of his very own. You shoulda been sitting in with the man, Deano and Walter. "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" could have used a little tinkling to carry it through. Any good with a six shooter?

Strange, the auto correct must be drunk. How'd "sobering" get through? Have to file an IT report I guess.

Your Honor,

Actually, I'm quite proficient with a Colt Single Action Army revolver (western six-shooter). My late Uncle Joe was a fast-draw competitor back in the '50s/'60s and he taught me some skills. Put it this way, you wouldn't want me shooting at you with a Colt pistol within 30 yards.

While playing with Rick Nelson (this was @1982-1984, between Blasters tours, and I was on-call to play with RN because his #1 piano guy worked a lotta LA record sessions and didn't wanna go on the road), I did get to hang a bit and talk some shit with Wayne Newton (WN was taking a little time off and came in to see us a couple of times during Rick's 2-week run at the MGM Grand @1983). Newton was friendly, down-to-earth...total class act. VERY knowledgeable about all kinds of music...and you should hear him play the guitar...I mean, DAMN!


Also...survived a piano encounter in Vegas @Jan/1982 with this character...

It only corrects the five-letter "S-word"; not any derivatives thereof, sadly.

The Mrs. and I saw Wayne Newton at the Stardust before they tore it down. He put on a hell of a show, can't sing anymore but he played just about every string instrument up there (mandolin, guitar, banjo) and I believe he played the trumpet and sax. Actual performer who can play, not just sing into a reverb unit copying Michael Jackson dances. And the Mrs. got a kiss from him of course.

Huh, you survived an encounter with Liberace and Ruiner survived one with Boy George (who bought him a drink).

Here ya go, Judge...another great picker.

Largely unknown to all but country guitar fanatics, the late Phil Baugh (who I used to see play in the lounge at the old Pomona Lanes bowling alley in Pomona/CA, when I was @10-11yrs old) could TEAR UP a guitar.

The studio version of this song won the CMA Country Instrumental of the Year Award in @1965.

I just worked what was unofficially my last shift as a kitchen porter in a fish and chip restaurant, so I'm back to being a student.
