Thanks for the welcome, bobad. As for my moniker, rogerontheoldtraps, I am the drummer for a local band called Slim Chance & the Survivors, here in Abilene, Texas. During a visit to Abilene, Chip Taylor sat in with us on a gig. The next day, he played for us a song he had written about our band. When he released his next CD, a double CD entitled The London Sessions, we were delighted that he had seen fit to include "our" song, which he had entitled "Lefty Frizzell." Our bandleader, Slim Chance, if you will, is a fellow named Lane Frizzell who is related to the country music icon. In the song, Chip named the members of the Survivors, and he referred to me as "Roger on the old traps." That's my story and I'm sticking to it (smile), and thanks for asking, bobad.

Has anyone listened to a beautiful song Chip wrote called "Oh Ireland?" Makes me wish I could visit there!

All the best,
