Well, seems that we have a few new "tunnel-heads"...

Walter will be shocked to find folks ordering for other areas... I was hoping that my book would arrive today but, alas, it didn't... Walter mailed it to me either Monday or Tuesday...

As for Bruce??? Well, back in 1969 and 1970 I booked his bands "Child" and "Steelmill", oh, I think 7 (maybe 8) times at this hippie concert joint in Richmond and once at a concert that we held on top of the 6th Street parking deck (now, that was an event) where we sold over 1500 tickets... That was a lot back then... Guess my claim to Bruce-fame (lol) was introducing him to the pineapple-cheeseburger at the "Village" beer joint...

Bow back to the tunnel... I would be great to get a few orders...

Oh, and kat??? I have it on CD somewhere (God only knows where" but I also have it on cassette that I have located... I remember vividly the writing and re-writing... It went on for weeks... I was on the phone with Walter over and over... I also remember printing the lyrics out with big letters and setting up the 5 pages it took to handle them all in front of me in that sound proof room... It was absolutely terrorizing... lol... But I told myself that if I mad a small mistake to just plunge ahead and "let it be"... I think I flubbed a couple lines but not badly and luckily didn't flub any of the guitar work... I recall after Albert (the owner of the studio) gave me the okay at the end saying, "I need a beer" and everyone cracking up...

BTW, the rest of the night was a lot more fun... Albert asked if I wanted to record anything else and so I recorded another 4 songs, including "Arthur and Sally" which was on the Mudcat CD that we did 5-6 years ago...
