Sheet fire... An' I mean fire...

Yeah, I kinda used the bandana trick... I had the cooler with a couple of them in it all ice cold an' wet and then I started playin' and was half hour into my set when I discovred that I was real hot... By then I was prolly past the time to fix stuff but I put the bandana 'round my neck and the water was drippin' from it down onto my geeter and the sweat was drippin' down onto my geetra and the last 30 minutes was like pure Hell...

Toward the end when I pulled out my cigar box geetar, which I can flat ot finger pick the crud out of it dead I kinda lost my rythum right toward the end of the song... Yeah, I imporoved the best I could an got thru the song but in the words of Edgar Allen Poe, "Never more"...

This is my 2nd gig from Hell in the last year,,, Last October I played in an open barn at the Page County Heritage Festival... IT was 40 degrees, rainin' and windy...

I'm too old fir all this... 50 to 90 degrees kinda guy...

BTW, it was over a 100 degrees this mornin' on that stage...

Like I said, I'm too old for this...
