Dave, I read through your post three times, what comes to mind is ---
I wownder what he is really trying to say?

Take care Dave, John C.

LOL - sometimes, I just need to vent stagnant thoughts. I'm not sure I even had a point. I was just feeling wordy!

In addition if I had reply my favorite place to play will always be not the location BUT that the people in the audience appreciate what I am doing and go home saying WOW!!! that guy was awesome! leaving with a good time had & great experience of which I was a part of.
And let me also add Dave ALWAYS does it right every show!

Congrats! You’ve found your place in the sun so to speak, contentment and enjoyment, probably some serenity thrown in too. Few can accomplish that, I applaud you.

There's a place in the sun, where's there's hope for everyone,
where my poor restless heart's gotta run.
There's a place in the sun, and before my life is done,
Gotta find me a place in the sun...
...from the book of Stevie.

..........and that’s exactly what came to mind when I wrote what I did

One of my big favourite songs.
I'll reply to it like Donny often do, with a YT video.
1966, WOW, some water ran down the river since then.

When we lived in Spokane, Washington, I had a sweetheart job performing at a ranch-house that had a driveway that was more than a mile long. I was just 28 years old, playing a guitar and singing to the ladies for 3 hours on Saturday nights. The lady that hired me looked like a movie star with flaming red hair. I think it was natural because she had red eyebrows, too. She pretty much wanted all country and a lot of Elvis. I was happy to oblige.



Now, I only got to see Dave perform on maybe a half dozen occasions. He is a fantastic entertainer and musician by all measures, which I'm sure is why he is at the Crab Trap.

All the best,

Gary

Man, I hate Dave! He's always too HAPPY, JOVIAL, and CONTENT. He can't be human. Can he? Haha!

HA!
Boo, you always crack me up. I pretty far from ALWAYS happy, but I do try to play the hands I'm dealt. I've had lots of redirections in this life, but as long as you try to keep moving, you're ahead of the game. You stop moving .... you're done.
Truth is perception, and I want to believe that there's more good than bad out there. Hey, I could be laying bricks for a living!
(BTW - "Bricks" is a nickname I gave one of my redheads .... LOL)
