Thanks all!! I haven't done Paltalk and generally don't get the time to do much on the puter.
Irish Sgt. - I am in process of writing lyrics to Soldier's Joy. All of the old ones are pretty bad and, as one Mudcatter says, best forgotten. I have several letters from my Great great great great Grandfather who fought with the Illinois Volunteers, lost a leg due to a minnie ball and a surgeon, was a prisoner of the South, and was then exchanged back to the North. Very interesting man and I am basing the words on his experiences. When I'm done I'll post them here.
Emporer Hmmmmmmm. . . No - more likely the Norton of Old who was Jackie Gleason's pal on the "Honeymooners." My e-mail name actually came from a motorcycle I owned/restored/raced for many years.
I'm glad I am among peers as I am Government Certifiable in a weird way so definitely will fit :-)
