Carole.


I am glad I went to this show. I have told people that back in the early 1970's I used to cut the grass in the neighborhood in Mississippi so I could go buy music. I got the music bug in the early days in the heart of the delta, Greenwood, Mississippi. From there I moved all over the state but my constant was music. I remember the day I went to the local Roses Discount Store in Meridian, Mississippi and spent my cash from toiling in the very hot southern Summer sun. I bought Carole King's "Tapestry" and the Guess Who "Greatest Hits." My first 33 RPM vinyl records but far from my last. I still have those records and they are just a few feet from me as I write this. Music has always been my passion and I keep it close to me.

i had a great night in Charlotte watching some very cool musicians this week. Sometimes I know I am a lucky man. 'Nuff said.

Until next time, I'll see you, down the road.
