Subject: RE: Little Hawk on video 'Takes a lot to...'
I'm with you, David...

Hooked up with a couple of folks I went to high school with who, truth be known, I had forgotten all about... Actually, I had forgotten that I went to high school...

Speakin' of forgettin'... My hat is off to LH fir not only keepin' his hair full (and dark) but also keepin' his velcro in purdy good shape... The reason I don't do many Dylan songs these days is that, ahhhhhhh, I can't remember the words... The music is imprinted very well but words hard to come by...

My son, Will-to-me-Ben-to-everyone-else-don't-ask, memorized "Bob Dylan's Dream" when he was about 12 years old and can still recite it front-to-finish upon request... But then again he can do Jamie Brockett's "Legend of the Titanic" upon request...

I gotta bunch of cheat sheets that I take to gigs in case someone yells out, "Can ya do any Dylan???"... The song I like doin' in those situations is "Everything is Broken" but I gotta use the cheat sheets... I'm kind down to "She Belongs to Me" without the cheat sheets... BTW, ya'll know those Cummings tool sales??? They are great... Ya' can buy a bag of plastic spring clips fir a couple bucks and they are the best thing in the world for attaching cheat sheets to a mic stand... Then, of course, in the right settin' you can also set yer geetar case up in front of you, leave it open and stash a dozen or so cheaters in it... The trick is BIG PRINT!!! lol...

(That's really not all that funny, Boberdz...)

Okay, it ain't... But the danged thing works and folks is amazed at yer recall...
